Manufacturer's description

Apple iPod Radio Remote

About the FM Radio

Just plug in your iPod Radio Remote and select “Radio” from the main iPod menu. Tuning takes place right there in the color display with your Click Wheel, just as you'd set 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.

If you're listening to a station that supports the Radio Data System (RDS) standard, you can even see song title/artist or radio station information in the iPod display.* The iPod Radio Remote supports FM stations from 87.5 to 107.9MHz (in both the US and European standards) and 76 to 90MHz (the Japanese standard). You can switch between the different standards when traveling.

About the Remote Control

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 required—using the FM radio will affect iPod playback time.

*RDS is currently not supported in Japan.

Requires iPod software v1.1 or later.

Good, but not great!
Reviewer: T3CKNO from SLC UT on Jun 15, 2008

The size of the remote is about the same as an ipod suffle, the only difference being that this lets you listen to the radio and has a cord coming out of it.
After reading many a review on this peripheral I was hesitant because everyone seemed to be saying the same thing. 'the cord is too long.' I do not believe this to be the case. Everybody knows that the standard ipod headphones are horrible so the first thing most smart people do is buy some better ones. I bought the

Sony Fontopia Closed-Type In-EarHeadphones - Black

Of course you can get them in white as well. These earbuds come in two parts, a top part with the earbuds and all and a cord extension. So what I do is just use the top part with the ipod radio remote and BAM cord problem solved.

TheFM quality is good, it is just a radio signal, and the controls are easy to use. The only real problems I have with this device are that $50 MSRP is waaay too much for them, and they are not compatible with the iPhone/iPod Touch. But if you have a Nano or Classic iPod and want to listen to your local stations, this is by far the best, if not only, choice there is.

Replaced when stolen with my IPOD. Great for tuning in TV channels in my Gym and when I want to listen to weather or news. Cord is long but an advantage when using on a treadmill. AM would be nice for the baseball and football games broadcast in my area.
