Updates:
06/05/2008: I have been able to contact Scosche's technical support, and they have assured me that this is an isolated incident, due to faulty wiring in some of the units. I am sending my (dead) iPod, along with the faulty equipment back to them, and Scosche will replace both.
Further updates will be posted when this process is completed.

July 2008: Scoche's customer service has replaced my damaged equipment, and provided me with another IPod transmitter. I give them a lot of credit for working through this issue successfuly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scosche IPOD RF Remote, April 10, 2007

By	Lester A. Gill "Alan Gill" (Marcus Hook, PA.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am extremely pleased with this product. I was so pleased that I purchased a second one for use on the Ipod Nano that I use in the house. I use the original purchase for the 8GB IPOD Nano in my car. The mount for the steering wheel for the remote works great, and the remote operates exactly as advertised. I would reccoment this remote to anyone that needs wireless access to their IPOD. It's a tad more expensive than some of the others available, but it's worth the extra cost !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect accessory..., February 15, 2008

By	D. Vincent - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the perfect iPod Touch accessory. It works great - controls volume, track forward/backward, shuffle, and playlist functions (I have not tried the playlist function). If you press and hold the track buttons, it fast forwards or reverses through the current track. Press and release changes tracks. You can remove the remote from the steering wheel holder and use it on your desk, a very nice feature. The iPod does not have to be unlocked for use. The iPod backlight comes on when a remote button is pressed, but goes out in about 8 seconds. It is truly a keep-eyes-on-the-road operation.

Contrary to another review, the unit functions with a charge cord connected and charging.

The receiver adapter gets its power from the iPod. The remote button unit is powered by two CR2025 coin cells. I opened it by sliding my fingernail between the two halves and and then going around the circumference, splitting it apart. It's quite tight, and can break your fingernail. There is no mention of batteries, neither in the manual nor on the Scosche website.

Pros:
Well thought out.
Intuitive operation.
Can be used anywhere.
Quality construction.


Cons:
Somewhat difficult to get remote holder really tight on the steering wheel.

After a prolonged idle (not playing), the iPod must be activated with its HOME button to 'wake up' remote operation. This is not the sleep delay mentioned in the manual, which requires you to hold the play/pause button.

No instructions on battery replacement.

Since I've only used these at most 3 feet apart, I cannot verify the 150 foot range spec.

Conclusion:
Highly recommended.
