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.

With the wired remote, you can control slideshow, video and music playback N 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.

1 out of 5 stars It just doesnt work. And no one knows why   July 11, 2008
Bottom Line: The tuner randomly quits on me. The radio station cuts off, and the "radio" option disappears from my ipod menu altogether. I have to unplug it, plug it back in, and hope that it works. Sometimes i can get 2 hours of radio time. Sometimes i get 2 seconds. Literally. It will work for mere seconds before needing to be unplugged/replugged again.

I understand the whole point of owning an iPod is to avoid commercial radio altogether. I bought this thing for one station alone (Seattle's KEXP), and i cant even enjoy that. I dont want a separate cheapie FM tuner, because i want to only carry one device around, kthx. This WOULD be an awesome little gadget, but it just doesnt want to be one.

Apple support told me this isnt a common occurance. They had no history on it. They just told me to exchange it. I did. I even reset my iPod back and reinstalled the newest software version (160GB Classic/ver 1.1.2PC). It worked for a morning, then began cutting off again. There is NO documentation on something like this happening to anyone else. So I guess that makes me lucky. If anyone has dealt with this issue, i would love to hear your thoughts.



5 out of 5 stars Apple Ipod Radio Remote MA070G/D   June 25, 2008
It's difficult and dangerous to ride a bicycle and operate a nano at the same time until now with the Ipod remote/FM. It's very small and light weight. I attatch a couple of fat small rubber bands to the clip on the back and then slip it over my middle finger like a ring, loosely. Either wear it like a ring on top of your finger to keep it out of the way, and still use your hands for tasks, like typing (doing it now) or whatever... or rotate it to the palm side, then you can use your thumb to control all the functions. I use the palm side when riding my road bike for miles and miles, surfing my 500 songs in bliss. I also use it this way when just walking about. Excellent quality, all functions very responsive, FM reception fine. Never use my ipod without it. Many imitations out there, don't know if I'd risk getting other than genuine apple. Love it!


4 out of 5 stars Live! Through the iPod!   June 25, 2008
This is a cool little addition for those who like to stay plugged in. It works pretty well and is easy to use. After I purchased it and used it a little I realized that, although I enjoy several live radio shows, I'd rather not spend even more time with things in my ears. Now it is just another gadget in the drawer. (I DO like my iPod a lot.)


5 out of 5 stars Works just like it says it does!   May 11, 2008
It's a fairly strong receiver - even in such a crowded market like NYC. All the controls work as advertised. Wire is a bit long, but since it's also the antennae - I guess it has to be that long. Only other "minor" gripe is that I have to turn the iPod video on before I connect the radio or else it doesn't recognize it. I'm happy with the purchase and Amazon's quick delivery is the best in the on-line business!


3 out of 5 stars work buts great   January 13, 2008
It does exactly like it says it will but it is very pricey for what it does. One earbud did not work and it had to be returned.
