The iFM remote worked great for about 4-5 days then the cord that connects to the ipod broke just like another customer reported. The thing now only plays the radio and thats it. No remote functions or recording. The cord seems to be made of really chep plastic. Then another thing is the iFM is just plain ugly to have attached to my jacket, because it has these two cords coming out one end of the controller looking like a jungle has attacked my ipod. Basically I wouldn't buy it again. Nice concept poor materials.

Buy Griffin iFM Radio, Remote, and Recorder for iPod Now

It's not clear from the description that this product only works with older model iPods with the remote control port. It didn't work with my Classic, and won't work with any recent model iPod. The seller refunded my money with no problem.

It would've been nice if this built on top of the already sleek and efficient design of the iPod remote. Unfortunately, it's only similar in color. My first problem was that there is nowhere to lock the buttons, so expect random fast forwards or pauses while walking. This could be tolerated, but the worst issue is how quickly it fell apart. I've always had issues with the Apple remote wire coming apart, but that usually takes me over a year. I used this remote for about 6 weeks before it started to come undone and 10 days later it was finished.

Not recommended.

My Girlfriend and I both have this radio. Hers works fine as long as she can get a signal. In the YMCA it is hit or miss. I use mine at work in a factory and could not be happier. I have been using it for about 2 months

and it works great 10-12 hours a day.

I use this every morning to switch between listening to talk shows and podcasts on my iPod, and for me it works great! Reception is almost always good for the FM stations, and I've had no problem with the controls (altho' the tiny buttons are kind of hard to manipulate with my work gloves on) HOWEVER, I had the same problem as other reviewers...the wire that comes out of the piece that connects to the iPod is soon loose and then breaks. I could not use the unit at all. I had it about 3 months when it first happened; I read somewhere else that Griffin will send you a new one. So I contacted them, and was told "I must have a defective unit." They had me send it back to them and promptly replaced it. Good customer service! But the second unit almost immediately did the same thing...I tried wrapping electrician's tape around the wire to keep it immobile but was not successful.
