Apple Radio Remote for iPod (White)
Apple Radio Remote for iPod (White)
Manufacturer: Apple Computer
Listen to FM radio on your iPod and control everything with this convenient wired remote. Just plug in your iPod Radio Remote and select Radio from the main iPod menu. Use your click Wheel and tune to your favorite stations just like a classic analog radio. Easily mark a favorite station for quick access later and switch between favorite stations using either the iPod or the remote. The iPod Radio Remote supports FM stations from 87.5 to 107.9 MHz in both the US and European standards and 76 to 90 MHz in the Japanese standard. You can switch between the different standards when traveling. With the wired remote, you can control slideshow, video and music playback. Adjust volume, skip forward & back within a playlist plus switch between radio stations and turn the radio on or off, even if your iPod is in your pocket or backpack. Clip the remote to your lapel, shirt or collar for easy access, and activate the hold switch to eliminate unwanted button presses. At just over half an ounce in weight, 15.7 grams, the compact remote features a simple, familiar interface and plugs into the Dock connection on your iPod or iPod nano. The included pair of Apple Earphones has a cable that's a few inches shorter than a standard earphone cable, making it the perfect fit. You can plug it into the 3.5mm stereo minijack port on the remote or use another favorite set of earphones. Because the iPod Radio Remote is powered by the iPod itself, no extra batteries are required.

GREAT WHERE EVER YOU ARE
I bought this because when Thanksgiving gets here Lite 106.9 in Louisville Ky starts playing Christmas music...and plays till January 1st...So, I wanted to listen to the radio without bothering people at work...and I wanted something that hooked to my IPOD...so I bought this...I think that it is worth the money and plays awesome in a cubicle setting and if you do get this product make sure that your headphones are plugged into the radio adapter and not into your IPOD directly because you will only get like 4 radio channels.
Pretty nice while it lasted...
is steep for a mp3 remote, radio tuner or not. I decided to bite the bullet and pick it up anyway as I new I would get tons of use out of it at work. Which I did for about six months. Around the 5 month mark I noticed that I'd have to push the buttons two or three times before they'd register the command. Then it started to not carry the sound through, I would have to unplug it and plug it back into the ipod. Finally, it just stopped working. A co-worker bought one a few months after I did and his stopped working about a month ago.
I expect that kind of "craftsmanship" from a third party, knock off, company. I paid the extra money for quality and something that would work seamlessly with their product. I'd think twice about buying this device, or at least wait until it gets closer to the range.
Just what the doctor ordered for the iPod, but...
Definitely the Apple Radio Remote is a great asset
for the your aped but has plenty of room for
improvement.
1. Reception is not that great, and if you are confined within walls forget about listening to the radio.
2. An important feature is missing!
You should be able to switch, from this remote,
between listening to your iPod's playlist and listening to the radio. Instead you have to go to your iPod's menu and select MUSIC or RADIO and that sort of defeats the purpose of this "remote", doesn't it?
Still very happy with the new and useful feature it adds to my iPod.
disappointing
Not very useful around my area. Doesn't receive FM well at all.
Too many wires.
Just stopped working
This worked great while it worked. Have had it about 1 1/2 years and it just stopped working (volume control cont. to work). Too much money for something that doesn't last. Read similar complaints on Apple website while trying to troubleshoot.
