iPod remote control

[rickyboy]

Hey do you listen to an ipod while you're on the Nomad?
I do. I don't have a mount for it and I am always leery of it getting wet if I happened to hit some of that stuff while riding. I like to keep it in my breast pocket of my jacket. This makes it pretty hard to control the volume, selection, pause, stop and start, etc while riding. I use to hate pulling to a stop with a friend and have to either pull out the "buds", or fumble with the ipod to turn it off or down so I could hear and speak to my riding companion. But now I found a remote control from Maxell that let's me do all the above mentioned. There's an antenna that plugs into the iPod, and a controller that mounts on your handle bars. I shortened the strap to fit. Now I can stop, start, skip, adjust the volume all from the handle bar without ever fumbling with the ipod. You do lose a bit on the volume but it's still just fine.
Here are some photo's of the unit. I bought it up here at a place called "Princess Auto". You could probably find the unit on the web.
Again, it's from MAXELL... model # P-21/item # 191221
