Great Addition to Any Music System [Posted on 2007-09-27]
This is such a simple way to get all the music you want on to an old music system. I've had my stereo since they were called stereos (and it had a actual turntable connected once). Since every song I like is on my Nano - and not all are on CD's, I wanted to hear them at home and not just directly in my ears. I tried just wiring the Nano into the inputs, but that was useless. This dock let me play the songs and the remote is great. I've since had to replace the old stereo and the dock is now the centerpiece of the system.
A touch pricey, but great range [Posted on 2007-10-04]
This is a great dock/remote combination. The range is excellent. I use it to control my nano (gen2) in my living room from my dining room (about 20 feet away through a wall), and it works great. The remote is very full-function. It allows scrolling through playlists, turning the iPod on or off, and volume control. The one negative is the relatively high price versus, e.g., the cheaper Griffin remotes.
Can't get video to work [Posted on 2007-10-19]
I have the iPod Classic 80 GB. I bought the Keyspan a couple of weeks ago so I could connect my iPod to my audio/video system. It works fine for listening to music but I can't get it play video. I've tried to contact Keyspan support through email and phone, but have not received a reply from them. Their web site indicates that their phone system is down because of a power outage, but that seems like BS to me. I'm just wondering if this company is going under and I might be stuck with something that doesn't work.
My unit was a lemon [Posted on 2007-12-08]
I don't see that others had this problem but my unit was a dud. First, the plug was defective. I had to use the plug from my cell phone (luckily this unit uses standard USB plug-in). Second, the remote will only work for a few functions and then I need to reset it again (by pushing a pin-hole button on the bottom of the unit). Extremely frustrating. It could be that the remote problem is related to the defective cord, but I can't see how that would be the case. I like the concept of the unit and will likely replace. Hope the next one works.
Excellent Docking System with RF Remote [Posted on 2008-04-29]
So I got this product to help me change songs while I'm in the shower. I got the BLACK Keyspan AV Dock with RF Remote. Works great with all my iPods and iPhone. The unit is connected to my Stereo system. So I had to put up the volume a little bit higher then normal. This allows me to control the volume down from the remote if the songs gets too loud for me. Slip the RF remote in a tight waterproof zip lock bag and my stereo is connected to the bathroom speakers.. Bam! Musical Shower to my ears.
Cons: It's a little bit pricey, you can still get a buzzing feedback from the iPhone if the phone mode is on. Sometimes it takes about a second or two for the AV Dock to respond from the remote. Since, I place the AV dock next to my stereo. I can't view my selection list of songs when I'm in the shower. I just preselect my Playlist before hand.
Overall, it's a pretty good dock. Easy to use and the functions works
