And that's one star too many! [Posted on 2008-02-23]
I'm glad I didn't waste my money on this thing (rec'd it as a gift). $50 for a "remote" that won't turn the product on...remotely!?! And "you can't use the remote to choose a different playlist." Huh? Oh, and a Menu button that's apparently there for decoration, since it is "for use with other Apple products." What other Apple products? The last time I checked, my new iPod Classic IS an Apple product, and not a cheap one! So why doesn't the remote's Menu button work?!? I recently bought a Sony radio with a built-in docking station, and even its remote allows you to do everything you can do on the iPod itself. All these raves about Apple's iPods are well-deserved (LOVE my iPod), but someone really dropped the ball on this product, IMHO.
Worst Apple Product Ever [Posted on 2008-03-23]
First of all, I love everything Apple except for this product. The menu button on the remote has no function, what's that about? I purchased the conponent A/V cable which enables me to watch and hear my music and music videos on my HD TV. It works GREAT! The remote that comes with this docking station does not permit me to select the next music video after finishing playing one, totally unacceptable since that's why I purchased this unit in the first place. Save your money!!!
IPOD Docking Station [Posted on 2008-04-06]
Bought this with my Apple Composite Cable. I like the dock. A little pricey, but what from apple isn't.
Only Half of what Apple claims [Posted on 2008-06-29]
This item does not control photographs as stated. Only music. Disappointing. Menu does not appear on TV screen.
Everything worked, included remote is great for third party apps as well [Posted on 2008-07-03]
The Apple Universal Dock for iPod is typical Apple retail quality. Everything was packaged very nicely. This comes with several adapters for the different iPods on the market and worked right away with my 60Gig gen 5 iPod. The base is heavy enough to keep from sliding around, and the fit is excellent using the correct (included) adapter.
A bonus is the included Apple Remote which I was able to use with my Macbook Pro for the neat program called iAlertU, which is like a car alarm for your Macbook pro.
Overall this is a nice package if you're looking for an iPod dock and remote. It's Apple retail, so you know it will work and the fit-and-finish is excellent.
Pro's
-Apple Retail so it works with all their iPods
-Base is heavy enough to remain stationary when plugging in and removing the iPod
-It comes with the Apple Remote which can be used for movies, music, and some third party apps
-Remote gets paired with your Mac, so only that remote will work
Con's
-A bit expensive
