Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of iLuv i169 HD Radio with Dual Alarm Clock and iPod Dock (Black)
Customer Review: I really wanted to like this radio dock.
Summary: 2 Stars
I found some major problems with this radio dock that if I had known, I would not have bought it.
- Does not charge ipod while in radio mode. The ipod charger only works in ipod mode. I found this out when a coworker wanted to charge her ipod while I was listening to the radio.
- Reception is not that great unless you have a lot of windows and a thin roof. It does not matter how I position the wires by the window, it will not hold an HD signal for more than a few seconds.
- There is no HD/analog switch. So when you have a radio station that is not in sync, and you barely have a signal, it will switch back and forth every few seconds, skipping ahead and skipping back. I listen to NPR and it makes it so I have to turn it off. It would have been fine for me to listen in non-HD mode if it had this function.
- Parts are cheap, flimsy. The connection to the ipod no longer works right. It only plays through one speaker unless I dock/undock it several times. Then it plays in stereo but no longer charges the ipod.
Honestly, for the price of this radio, I expected way more.
The only reason I didn't give this radio dock a 1 star is because it does function despite all it's problems and the sound is decent for small speakers.
