4.0 out of 5 stars nice, but only controls headphone audio, December 22, 2006

I just purchased "iJet wireless remote with bottom dock". Overall it seems pretty nice. It is really nice to be able to pause/play my iPod from across the room, or even in a different room. This simply wasn't possible with any IR remove I tried. The RF remote is great.

One minor annoyance I have noticed is that the remote buttons seem a little unresponsive at times. It seems I have to click firmly and hold just momentarily to affect the iPod. A quick click feels like it should work, but it doesn't, at least not for me. It's fine, but it surprised me a little. I thought it wasn't working at first.

My greatest disappointment was to find out that it only controls the headphone audio levels, as opposed to the line-level outputs through the dock connector. I am surprised this is not explained anywhere on their web site (which doestn' say very much). I saw "Connect your iPod to your stereo and control it from anywhere up to 150 ft away!" and assumed it would work w/ my home iPod dock (w/ S-video out, etc.), which it does, *except* for the volume control. To their credit, they do include a stereo RCA/Phono cable (and several remote clips), but unfortunately for me the headphone signal levels don't match the available inputs on my stereo.

Overall I'm satisfied, and impressed with the combination of RF and dock pass-through aspects. For stand-alone iPod use (in a backpack or whatever) it seems like it would be really nice (it even works when the "hold" switch is enabled on the iPod). I'm a bit disappointed about the lack of line-level/dock audio control.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, but limited iPod application, October 12, 2009

Nice quality workmanship, the buttons work smoothly and as described. Unfortunately, the transmitter is very wide and covers the output jack on not only my iPod Touch, but also my iPod Nano 4th generation, which is what I purchased this for. Although the packaging and advertised uses say it's compatible with the iPod Nano, it is not compatible with the iPod Nano 4th Generation. I wish it was, this is a great remote and the pass-through feature on the transmitter for syncing and charging is a great extra.

Most of the commands are not working with my iPod (5th generation with video). I order this remote, as I used to have one 2-3 years back and it worked fantastically than, but I lost the part with controls.
Half of the commands for the new iJet are not there, which renders it unusable for me.

What is not working:
-Instead Volume Up it's moving to Shuffle mode
-Instead Previous song - not working at all
-Long Fast Forward is doing nothing.

The bad part is - Kellards, which were the supplier for Amazon, told me at the end (after one month waiting time after I returned the device, and after remind them with e-mail), that this remote control is not for my generation of the iPod. But again - I used the same device several years back. It looks the same externally, but obviously the functionality was lost on the way.
