Does not work with the pass through [Posted on 2007-10-13]
The product works but when I connect a charger to the pass through port, the remote ceases to work, rendering the product useless. I would not recommend the product to anybody else because of this.
No problems. Works great [Posted on 2007-12-21]
I use this with my 5th Gen iPod Video 40Gb and it works just fine. The pass through charging works like a charm with my Griffin charger. The response rate is a little slow (press a button, then short delay before iPod responds), but not horrible. The steering wheel "gripper" does a great job; I can tighten it enough so that it's very stable and doesn't give. Definitely recommend it.
Works great, but not on the steering wheel [Posted on 2008-01-29]
This product is great, nice signal, but if you are planning to stick it on the steering wheel, it could bother you when you need to make turns.
In my case, i sticked it on the clutch.
I recommended!
Perfect accessory... [Posted on 2008-02-15]
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.

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.
