How can I control my phone without touching the screen?

[AC Question]

I want to control music, audio books, and podcasts while driving and not take my hands off the wheel or take them off as little as possible. Voice controls don't work well at all. I've tried a cheap bluetooth remote that I could find but that doesn't connect half the time. I'm willing to spend a few hundred dollars if it gets the job done. Ideally there would be analog controls that would sit on my seat, be on a keychain or attach to my steering wheel that would allow me to do the following: fast forward, rewind, next track, previous track, play, and pause. If I could program a custom function that would be great. I tried flic buttons but they only have 3 actions.
