doesn't work nearly as good as the official apple adapter. Doesn't pick up radio stations all that well. sets your master volume on your ipod to a capped level if you use the remote volume buttons.
By Barbara Ballard (Lawrence, KS, USA)
I wanted a simple set of buttons to control my iPod Touch. Just pause, volume, and next/previous. This looked perfect.
Unfortunately, it has problems. First, the connection isn't good ... the maximum volume is less than the native volume, and it will drop by 30% randomly. Jiggling the connection didn't really help. Second, and much worse, use of this remote will cause the iPod's power to drain in about an hour. Even if the iPod is off.
Oh - I never did turn on the FM transmitter. That battery problem is without transmitting.

Just out of the box and it and it does not even work! I plugged it in and it wouldn't even let me change stations it was just stuck on static. Don't be fooled, yes its cheap (and I am a real bargain hunter) but no worth the risk!
By Donald Parish (Kearney, NE USA)
I bought this as a cheap fix for an iPod Video with a broken headphone jack. First, I lost the left channel, then the right. this product works for this. It does look cheap, and the two halves of the unit came apart accidently, but were easy enough to put back together. I like having the radio, the instructions aren't the best, but once the stations are memorized, it works fine. It's nice being able to keep the iPod in my pocket, and pause/play from the remote. For $11 this is working fine.
The only negative is that it seems to draw the battery down quickly. It seems to draw power when connected, even when the iPod is sleeping, or even turned off. I'm still researching this, but you may need to unplug it when not in use.
An alternative is the Griffin iPod FM (2nd gen), which at this writing, was on sale at the Griffen site for $20.

It's difficult to figure out what radio station you're listening to. A radio station is indicated on the ipod screen, but it's not necessarily the right radio station. To figure out what station it is, I turn the radio off and then turn it back on. It can be frustrating if you want to change stations constantly. The signal is generally clear though.
