Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've seen this question raised, and Griffin doesn't answer it, so I will. This product works flawlessly on my iPhone 4. (16GB, US model, OS 4.1 Jailbroken.) I can't guarantee that it'll work on yours, but I can't see why it wouldn't.
So, that said, it's really freakin' cool! I know a lot of people are buying this for the radio, so I'll start with that. Sound quality is actually pretty good, relatively clear but with a background hiss. I'd say it's the best portable FM without an external antenna I've ever used, but honestly I'm not a big radio listener, so I'm not comparing it to that much. RDS works, but can take 30 seconds or a minute before it shows up. Griffin's iFM app works with mine, however I had to switch "Hardware Support" from "Auto" to "On", in the iFM tab within the iPhone's main settings menu. As far as I can tell, the Navigate can be controlled by the app, but it can't control the app, if that makes sense. The headphones act as an antenna for the radio, and they're kinda touchy, if you find just the right angle for the cable, it gets great reception, but letting the cable coil up the wrong way or touch the wrong object can make it horrible. It's a lot easier to get a signal with my Sony earbuds than with my Audio-Technica headphones, which have a very long cable.
Otherwise, everything works exactly as stated. The OLED display is awesome, and the unit controls MP3s without any trouble. Navigating through playlists, etc, is easy, too.
With what this unit sells for here on Amazon, I see no reason NOT to buy it if you're looking for a remote control for an iPhone or iPod. I'm not as sure about the radio, due to the headphone issues, but the same problem will exist with any similar unit.
