The iPod Radio Remote is an accessory for the iPod that gives compatible iPods radio functionality. It allows user to listen to radio stations, and has its own radio menu (that is enabled once plugged in) in which to change stations. The Radio Remote also gives users a remote in which to play, pause, and control iPod music playback through (similar layout to the iPod Shuffle). This accessory connects through the 30 pin connection port on the iPod.
