 It's not what you expect... November 20, 2008
Leonardo PACH (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
I understood the dock+remote would allow me to connect my iPod to the audio/video inputs of my equipment and control my iPod remotely. Well, it depends on what you consider "control the iPod remotely" to be. It does allow me to play/pause/skip, but it doesn't allow me to navigate the iPod menu. So, if you want to browse your songs/videos/photos, or if you want to switch from watching a video to listen a song, you need to reach for your iPod and use it. That restricts *a lot* the usefulness of the remote. (I don't understand how the other 2 reviews could be positive at all...)

Works exactly as expected, allows you to hook up your itouch, iPhone etc to your stereo, control it with the remote and charge at the same time.
The perfect accompanyment to the Apple Component AV-Cable August 1, 2008

I recently purchased myself a set of official Apple Component AV-Cable leads so I could store and watch videos on my iPod for when I went on holiday or stayed at a hotel ect.
I have owned my iPod Component AV-Cables for a few weeks now and would have to recommend them hands down to absolutely anyone who is looking for a perfect solution to watching movies on the go. The picture quality is great on dvd's converted from disc so long as you have decent software and most movies take up no more than 1gb (2gb max) The only thing which is a bit of pain in the butt is having to use the iPod to use functions such as fast forward, rewind play ect because the AV-Cable isn't ideally as long as it could be, also the controls for fast forward and rewind can be fiddly on the iPod and if you accidently press too hard, it goes right back to the start of the film which is extremely anoying.
After looking on Apple's website, it was relief to find that Apple actually made a docking station which comes complete with a quite cool little remote.
Basically the Apple Universal Dock is a docking station which you can place any iPod model into whilst charging, transfaring files and watching videos with your iPod.
The unit has a connector input at the back of the unit which you can slot your USB, Component or Composite AV-Cable into.
Personally I ordered this product mainly for the purpose of being able to control video play of movies on my iPod via the remote, but it can also be use for listing to music whilst connected to your stereo, interacting with Apple TV and much more.
I would definitely recommend this little unit if you can find it cheap enough, I picked mine up from a Amazon Market Seller for just 15 which is a bargian
