How to tune even frequencies into iPod Radio Remote?

Hi,
how can I tune in an even frequency such as 88.6? I can tune in all odd frequencies (in this case 88.5 and 88.7) but no even ones.
Please help!

Problem solved:
I had to select Europe from the Radio Preferences.

How do i get my ipod radio/remote replaced?

I bought my ipod radio/remote back in October and its suddenly stopped working. It is detected by the ipod (classic) as it brings up the radio option on the menu and also the volume up and down controls still work. However none of the other controls work at all.
Ive plugged it into my old ipod (video) that my girlfriend uses and it has exactly the same problem.
According to my receipt from the apple store its guaranteed until October 08 so do i need to take it back to the store or can i just get another one directly to me by apple?

You can either take it back to the Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment on your computer the day you decide to go: it is a little busy at all of them right now) or go here: http://www.apple.com/support/oss/

Question about the "iPod radio remote"

I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
Someone that has one can perhaps answer
Cheers

I can at least answer some of the questions.
The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
displayed on almost all radio stations such as
Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
"USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
There are three settings for the radio which you
choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
No, there is no AM radio.
You can plug headphones into the remote or the
headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
I'm not sure I understand your question about the
bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
via the dock connector.
There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
radio/remote is connected as they use the same
connector.
Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
will of course depend on where you use it. I've
used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
dropping to mono.
Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
(after you do this a radio function appears in the
menu), and some users have found that doing this
screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
course there will be those who disagree.
iPod
Radio/Remote Review.
Thank you for the reply.
Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto

I currently have iPod Nano with 1.1.1 software update and iPod Radio Remote, but even after the update I do't get the radio option to appear in the main menu or music menu, with the option in settings turn ON. Why isn't this thing working?

hiya!
just doublechecking something. are you connecting the remote directly to the nano, or are you connecting it to a Dock and putting the ipod in the dock?

Problems in compatibility of iPod radio remote with iPod classic 160 GB

Hi all,
I have just bought a iPod classic 160 GB and want to buy a iPod radio remote as well. However, after I have done my research, I find the radio remote is not compatible with iPod classic perfectly…
Do you think it is a good idea for me to wait a new radio remote (maybe) or later Apple will release update?
Thanks

I use my Radio Remote with a Classic; it does everything that it had with my 5G-Video EXCEPT it will not allow me to set radio stations, either with the Radio Remote's control or the iPod's control.
I have spoken with an iPod specialist (Apple Care) and according to him Apple has acknowleged less than 100% compatibility/functionality with the Radio Remote and the Classics. One of the reasons, he stated, was that several 5G-Video iPods were "getting fried" when the Remote was not fully connected to the docking-port. So Apple has decided to reengineer the port [for better a connection, I gather]. What puzzles me the most about the new generation of iPods is why they were rolled out without warning customers that their Car-Charger, Video Player, dock, AV Cable, or APPLE'S OWN Remote will not play nice with each other!
This go around, it's find out the hard way.

Has Anyone Found the New Version of the iPod Radio Remote?

Hi,
Per iLounge, Apple released an updated ipod radio remote that has the most current version of Apple's ipod headphones as opposed to the shortened ones. I've checked on-line, Best Buy, Circuit City Compu World, Micro Center with no luck. I aslo tried the bricks-and-mortar Apple store...they looked at me like I had ten heads. Apparently they have the same sku as the old set.
I posted a question to Apple Support, but no response yet. Has anyone found the new version anywhere?
Thanks

Thanks. I've submitted requests to Apple to find out if or when they will be shipping the new remote, but they have not responded within their promoted 24-hour timeframe. I'll try to order from Apple directly and hope I get the new headphones too!
Thanks

IPod Radio Remote(device that enable my iPod to function as a radio

When I initially plugged the radio adapter into my nano I was able to control turning it on/off ,etc. directly from the radio adapter. Now I when I plug it in my nano starts playing my albums and not the radio. Very annoying - how can I fix?

Most iPod issues can be cured by trying these troubleshooting steps one at a time.

How to put DVD directly into iPod?

As above.
Thanks

I havent found a good freeware program yet. I used DVD shrink and it worked fine but it put the file into seval parts.
I have heard DVD decryptor is a good one but the project was shut down so you can only download it through a file sharing network suchas limewire.
I havent gotten around to doing it yet so I dont know how good it is

How to IMPORT QUICKTIME movies into ipod?

I've created a 2:00 video using fcp and exported it using Compressor as 'video for ipod'. the file is
10 mb.....
I can't get my ipod (60g color) to recognize the file either by 'importing' it or 'adding to library'...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark

Ya everything has to go into iTunes first then it can go to the iPod. Apple has made it so iTunes is the portal and there normally isn't anyway to go straight from computer to iPod, at least not for things to be played ON the iPod.

How to turn iphone 3g into ipod touch w/ out sim card

Hi,
I would like to give my old iphone 3g to a daycare teacher who just broke her ipod on a field trip - so sad.
I don't have the sim card in my phone anymore and when I plug it in to itunes I cannot access anything! I just want to set it up as an ipod touch
(sim card was removed by an online company that I tried to sell the phone to - when they offered $30 I had them mail it back but they wouldn't return my sim card)
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

I do have a SIM card for my iphone 4, but they are different sizes. I didn't try to insert the sim card for fear it might hurt it. My carrier for both phones is At&t. Thoughts?

IPod Radio Remote with ipod Touch / iPhone

Hi,
Could someone post details of when this device will work with a touch / iPhone. I'm just about to get my iPhone here in the UK and one feature i like on my SE phone is the radio, why oh why did apple not add it from the word go. Anyway if anyone knows that they are adding it in a future firmware upgrade please post; this is a feature that would sway my purchase decision.

the 3 reasons I think a radio isn't built in are:
1.to keep the size down (silly I know just a guess*)
2. By needing the remote plugged In,it ensures the remotes lead will act as an ariel (like most mobile phones headphones do these days)
3.the most imoptant one here- so apple can charge £30 for somthing that did come in the box! (owners of iPod photos & earlyer gens know what I'm talking about!)
* I think the actual radios hardware is built into the remote & the software to make it work hasn't been included yet in firmware for the touch and iphone,i own both and I do feel that apple rushed the firmware to get them in the stores,but thats really not the issue.

5th Generation iPod radio tuning

I have a new 30 gig video iPod. I can not get reception on my ipod radio at my health club. Due to the frequencies being limited to .1, .3, .5, .7, .9. My health club sends out signal in odd and even tenth numbers example 88.8. I can not tune into the even tenth numbered signals. 88.7 and 88.9 do not work. Other radios that I use get the signal perfectly. But they are not digital. Any suggestions? Could iPods be programed to include the even numbered tenth signals, or am I not doing something correctly. Help!!!!!!!!!!! I love my new ipod radio I want to use it.
Hp several models Windows XP media center

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try changing the radio's region setting to a different region. With the iPod radio remote connected, go to settings-->radio region-->and change it to Europe. Now you should be able to tune by .1

IPod radio connect to stereo

How can I connect iPod-radio and iPod via docking station to my stereo (Bose) or is this not possible?
Siemens-Fujitsu Windows XP

I don't know why you would want to connect an iPod radio to a stereo when the stereo itself should pick up a radio station. But If you are talking about connecting a iPod radio remote and iPod to a stereo, you will have to leave the docking station out of the mix. you will connect the remote radio to the ipod, then connect a RCA wire (Yellow Side) to the remote radio, the the other end to the bose stereo
