Title: My iPod setup for my 3 hour Miami ride this weekend (ipod remote)
Post by: tussey on November 08, 2006, 03:15:17 PM
I did a test run this morning listening to my ipod on my short commute to campus. It was really enjoyable, I wanted a remote to control the ipod while I was riding and didn't want to take my hands off the bar. I found this for $40 at my local campus computer store. It's called a Griffin AirClick it's an RF ipod remote control and it comes with velcro to mount it. It's really sweet. Allows me to control volume, next, prev, fastfoward, rewind, and play/pause. Pretty sweet. Here are some pics.

I was thinking of running a wire down a sleeve to a remote, cuz I don't wanna pay for an RF one... Right now though, I can control my ipod through the fabric of my jacket, as long as I leave the buttons facing outwards. The only problem is that I can't control volume.

That's a neat setup!

That's pretty slick...and that's pretty much how I mount my mp3 player.  I have the whole thing on the bar (a lot smaller than an ipod though).

Whatever you do, don't forget which button is the ejector seat!

I have the Sansa MP3 player, and I can control everything but the volume through the jacket.  I need to find a better way to do that.
