Product Description
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 is required.

Compatible with iPod nano and iPod with video. 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.

 iPod accessory May 2, 2010

This is a nice selection of useful accessories for your iPod at a reasonable price.
Finally I get the readio on my iPod! April 19, 2010

Since Apple wasn't smart enough to build this in, the radio remote is the nxt best thing! The remote allows me to listen to my favorite radio programs rather than be limited to whatever is on the iPod. I love the remote!
 a poor product, they don't last March 23, 2010

I've bought 2 of these now, both quit working after 6 mos to 1 year of irregular use, the problem seems to be related to the connection.
Though under warranty, Apple will not accept these for a return or a replacement as they do not have a 9 digit serial number printed on them anywhere. As a result of my experiences with these and with Apple customer service, I will never purchase another ipod product.
 Works well, no AM though... December 10, 2009

I got this as a present. Honestly, I had been considering buying a Zune because the iPod didn't come with a radio function. However, my wife bought me an iPod for Christmas. So, I began looking around for a radio function and found this. The only problem is that it was about $50! So, after paying $200-$300 for an iPod, Apple gets you for another $50.
As the product goes, it works well. I use it primarily at the gym to tune into the televisions or local radio stations. I have to admit though, I was disappointed that there was no AM function. I know many people disregard AM, but sometimes its the only way to get the college football, basketball, etc. game. So, I was a little irritated when I was listening to a game in my car, go into the gym and realize that this $50 add-on only supported FM.
Overall, this will work quite well for most people. It comes with a set of headphones that have a shorter cord since the remote/FM receiver has quite a bit of cord already.
 Functional but not graceful June 23, 2009

I got this for my ipod so that I could have a radio on there and I honestly don't use it much anymore.
The remote works fine and the FM radio is okay (although it doesn't get the strongest reception in a building). My biggest problem with it was the headphones. They pretty much suck. So I end up having to put my own good headphones on there which are standard length and then I have what feels like 6 ft of wire wrapped around my body and I constantly get it caught on things.
So, oddly enough I stopped using it because it was just to time consuming to get it all wrapped around my person and take it off.
All in all it does the job but not with a lot of grace.
