The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the remote controls the ipod only when it's directly connected to the Ihome (it doesn't do anything to the ipod, if it's connected by the cable), so sometimes you just end up using it to turn on and off or for the volume.But I can't say it's a bad product, 'cause it helps me a lot, specially when I'm in bed and don't want to get up.I recommend. I think this is a really useful product, because you don't have to be near the Ihome to use it's volume control, "on and off" button, radio and stuff.
I honestly have to have the remote 3 inches away from the device in order for it to work.
But I feel it is a bit expensive. It works great with my iHome.
I haven't replace my battery, I just use the one that came with it, so maybe it could work better. I love my iHome remote, but it doesn't always work the way I would like it to. Basically, it's a great accessory but it isn't a miracle. However, I know a few people who have the same problem as I do. To make the iHome recieve the signal of the remote, you have to point it directly at the iHome. My iHome is on a shelf pretty far up, and when I'm sitting in my chair it is pretty hard to get that remote aimed just right.
button placement is questionable (on the top there is power and play/pause then underneath it is forward/back AND THEN there is volume)., but the ability to change the song, volume, radio, and light settings make it worthwhile. For those of you with ihomes that you have sitting far away from your bedside or other central point in a room, this is a much-needed accessory. Though it should definitely be included with the standard ihome package, and it is pricy considering it is not included, it still greatly increases the versatility of the ihome.
