Like always, nice packaging. Pluging the remote adds a Radio line on the iPod menu (5G and nano). Frequency selection is done using the wheel (great precision) or using the left/right arrows (on the iPod and on the remote) for station hopping. The display uses RDS (where available).
In the iPod Settings menu, there is a new line to select your region (USA, Japan or Europe), relating to different FM bands.
The back of the Remote is made of great looking brushed aluminum and sports a clip.
The remote plugs in the iPod dock connector which means you can use the standard audio connector to plug a second pair of headphones.
The test was done on a 5G iPod and, yes, using your GSM close to the remote tends to mess things up and randomly change station or volume (!)
It is possible to store a station by clicking on the centre button (same way to remove it). You can then jump between stored stations using the RW/FF buttons.
