Scosche IPNRFC Wireless Car RF Remote for iPod Review

This is the perfect iPod Touch accessory. It works great - controls volume, track forward/backward, shuffle, and playlist functions (I have not tried the playlist function). If you press and hold the track buttons, it fast forwards or reverses through the current track. Press and release changes tracks. You can remove the remote from the steering wheel holder and use it on your desk, a very nice feature. The iPod does not have to be unlocked for use. The iPod backlight comes on when a remote button is pressed, but goes out in about 8 seconds. It is truly a keep-eyes-on-the-road operation.
Contrary to another review, the unit functions with a charge cord connected and charging.
The receiver adapter gets its power from the iPod. The remote button unit is powered by two CR2025 coin cells. I opened it by sliding my fingernail between the two halves and and then going around the circumference, splitting it apart. It's quite tight, and can break your fingernail. There is no mention of batteries, neither in the manual nor on the Scosche website.
Pros:
Well thought out.
Intuitive operation.
Can be used anywhere.
Quality construction.

Cons:
Somewhat difficult to get remote holder really tight on the steering wheel.
After a prolonged idle (not playing), the iPod must be activated with its HOME button to 'wake up' remote operation. This is not the sleep delay mentioned in the manual, which requires you to hold the play/pause button.

No instructions on battery replacement.
Since I've only used these at most 3 feet apart, I cannot verify the 150 foot range spec.
Conclusion:
Highly recommended.
