Maxell P-21 Portable iPod Remote Control Review

I got this for $13 shipped. It is very plasticy (if thats a word) in its feel. The clip on covers give it a bit of color, but are really unnecessary. The remote itself also unclips from it handle, where the lanyard is stored. It comes with various straps that I haven't tried yet. The CR2032 battery is NOT included.
Most important, it actually works! The reciever plugs into the bottom of my nano 3rd gen, and I can plug in accessories through the resiever because it has a passthrough design. So I can charge it or just power it as well. The reciever has a headphone jack in the side. The dock connector is a little loose in the ipod slot. I plugged it into my sound system, and I can control the I-Pod from another room, or even outside in my florida room. Because of the way the volumn works, I can turn up the stereo and use the Ipod volumn to control the sound level. The farthest away I have gotten is approx 30FT, but my battery is also old as well.
My main reason for the purchase was to control my Ipod from outside my pop up camper. Stereo on the inside and speakers on the outside. It is perfect for this purpose, but also works good for my home with a similar situation.
My wife has a nano 1st gen, and my son has a nano 2nd gen. It controls both with no issues.
Over all, I am very very pleased with this unit and would recommend it as long as the price was low.

Belkin TuneStage Bluetooth-Enabled Transmitter for iPod Review

Belkin TuneStage Bluetooth-Enabled Transmitter for iPod
Average Reviews:

This transmitter and receiver is perfect for getting your ipod music onto your stereo system without wires or expensive components. The bluetooth signal works well for short range ( the 33 feet seems accurate as outside limit) and in my case transmits clearly through walls to another room. The only reservation is that the transmitter only works with the two pin headsets for ipods. That is, it works with my older Ipod photo but doesnt fit the newer Ipod video.

The Belkin F8Z901 TuneStage for iPods delivers the pristine, high-quality sound that iPod users desire, through a high-end, home stereo environment. Using advanced Bluetooth v1.2 wireless technology, the TuneStage can transmit from a range of up to 33 feet to your stereo, free of the barriers that limit traditional remotes--such as walls, ceilings or windows. This great new innovation from Belkin lets you roam and play your tunes, from virtually anywhere in your home.
Connected through Belkin's TuneStage, your iPod becomes a premier wireless remote, putting absolute control at your fingertips. The TuneStage transmitter plugs directly into your iPod's remote/headphone connector, and requires no batteries, automatically powering on or off with your iPod. You may manually power the TuneStage receiver on or off, which runs via an AC power adapter, while the entire system requires no software installation, and is ready to use right out of the box. This unit features an LED that indicates proper connection and activity, and includes a Gold Series 3.5-millimeter-to-2 RCA stereo cable for easy plug-and-play connection to your home stereo system.

Compatible with any iPod or MP3 player with a headphone/remote connector, the Belkin TuneStage is backed by a manufacturer's 3-year warranty. The receiver can easily fit out of the way, measuring only 6.5 x 1.2 x 4.5 inches (W x H x D), and the transmitter is barely noticeable at 1.65 x 0.5 x 1.5 inches (W x H x D).
