Default [Q] Headphones with control that have a 3.5mm jack?

I use my phone as an audio player in my car (connected through aux), and have a problem. My problem is, in order to change tracks, I have to turn the phone on, and switch tracks. Is there an accessory that will let me do this by just pushing a button?

I saw this:

But heard that it doesn't work on our phones. Any suggestions?

Motorola T505. It's s Bluetooth speakerphone with a FM transmitter. You stream your tunes and phone calls from your Inspire through the T505. Check eBay. I paid $40 for mine.

It seems that with that the sound will be emitted through the device itself and not through my car's speakers.

Run the tpgb rom. Has audio controls on the lock screen. Click volume key to turn on screen(another great feature), then click to skip track.

It has a FM transmitter. It can play through the built-in speaker but doesn't have to. When you turn on the FM transmitter, a small voice will tell you what frequency to tune your radio to and it stops playing through the speaker. While broadcasting through FM, the volume buttons become track forward/reverse.

From what I've read MIUI and CM7 also do this, correct? I would do this, but I'm a big fan of sense. Maybe I'll try it.

Try the Headset Button app. I can manage tracks using the one button on my earphones. Check out the trial version first.

Good luck!

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I finally found a way to make my volume rocker skip music on a sense rom, without having to buy anything. Thanks again.
