The Apple iPod Radio Remote adds FM functionality to dock-connecting iPods and takes the bulk off the design by using the iPods display for tuner info. The accessory also utilizes the iPods Click Wheel to offer handy radio dial-like functionality.
The Apple iPod Radio Remote plus headphones equals cord clutter. Because the remote plugs into the dock connection, it wont work with many iPod cases. Unfortunately, its also compatible with only the 5G iPod and the iPod Nano.
If you own a 5G iPod or an iPod Nano and cant live without FM radio, we highly recommend the Apple iPod Radio Remote. Price range: $49.99 - $59.99
