Allows you to plug in two headphones into the iPod – great for sharing
The bad:
LCD screen on the remote would have been nice
Not available in black
Uses iPod’s battery for power
Only compatible with 5th gen iPods and Nanos
The bottomline:
The iPod Radio Remote works well and is stylistically a great match for 5th gen iPods and Nanos. But iPod naysayers do have a point when they say AU$79 is a high price to pay for an accessory which adds functionality to the iPod that many of its competitors are already bundled with.

Last week we wowed you with a rear-view mirror with the works. Its built-in GPS and Bluetooth hands-free, however, seem to be pretty boring functions compared to this multimedia visor.
