Electronics : TeckNet MT-051 Apple iPod FM and Remote Control
Rating: 
- Not so fabulous
TeckNet MT-051 Apple iPod FM and Remote Control
The product really isn't fit for purpose:
1. Radio interference from mobile phones is shocking! Travelling on a train where mobile signals come in and out made using this device painful - lots of nasty buzzing. And this is when I wasn't using the product as a radio.
2. The back and forward buttons worked the wrong way around! I.e. to fast forward I had to press the reverse button.
3. When left plugged in it drained my iPod battery even when I'd set the iPod into sleep mode.
I can't fault the customer service on this though - when I mentioned the first two problems to me Tecknet responded very quickly and very positively.

- Good Remote, bad speaker...
I bought this item, thinking that it will have an speaker and a remote for my iPod, it did.
After a couple of weeks, although I did not increase the volume to the maximum level, the speaker stopped working, but the remote still worked.
I asked for a replacement, thinking that maybe there was a problem with the product, they sent me the replacement, it was working again, but the same thing happened after a couple of weeks, so I asked for another replacement, I did this for about 3 times.
After that, they said send it to us and we will see what the problem was, they think I am an idiot, well if you think about it, it will cost me more than the products price to send it to them, so I did not send them, but I thought, if they sent me another, it will have the same problem.
So, do not, I repeat, do not buy this product if you are looking for speaker and remote in one, it is a good piece of kit for a remote, if you are looking for a remote but no speaker, then this is for you.
I gave this two stars because of the remote...

- Fabulous
Great for your iPod, full control over your music play and a speaker too (useful if you want to share a video clip)!
Wish it was a little thinner (like the Apple FM remote) but the speaker does take up some space. Could have been managed though.
The actual item may differ, the one I received had 5 silver button controls (arranged in a circle) instead of a white single 4 position button and white centre button as shown.
