iLive IC618B Clock Radio with Enhanced Sound and Docking Station for iPod (Black) Review

Pros: Stylish look. many dock inserts for all ipod types. plays my music at descent quality. remote is useful and there is a nice holding slot for it. charging feature works well.
cons: WARNING: this clock will get increasingly louder at a very rapid pace until it blows your ears off.i have had this clock for less than a year and the light that used to tell the time has slowly dimmed so that it is almost impossible to read what the clock says (and i am a teenager with perfect eyesight). The remote is nice but it is very confusing because there are way too many buttons on it. The instructions are extremely uninformative so if you buy this clock, i hope you are good at figuring out technology. i have noticed in the past couple of months that when the ipod touch is in the dock, it makes dim scratchy sounds, which is extremely annoying. Recently the alarm function stopped working (along with many other important features). The radio has a lot of static. I am currently shopping for an ihome!

Gpx Home Music System with DVD Review

Instructions are very simplistic and vague. Product doesn't work as remote speakers for TV, which was it's intent. If I wanted just a CD player and radio I would have purchased a much different item. Spend your money on a system that truly works as a surround/remote speaker FOR a TV... $$ poorly spent.

GPX WeatherX FR3807DP Instant Weatherband AM/FM Radio Review

I purchased this unit to include in my emergency kit. It packs a lot of good function into one unit.

There are a couple things that would have made it better.

One is a digital tuner for the radio. It's an old-style thumbwheel, so you'll need to twiddle a bit to tune into the signal.

The weather radio is missing one very important feature: emergency alert.

I'm not disappointed because it provides so much, but I do wish the radio was better.

iLive IS808B HD Radio with iPod Dock (Black) Review

The shipping was very fast, recieved item day after I purchased it. It is a little big, but the clarity of the radio is great. The sound is awesome and it is very easy to use. I like the fact that the light is not that bright on it. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for a ipod docking station.

iLive Home Music Station with Built-in Subwoofer and iPod Dock (Black) Review

I purchased this as a gift and upon setting it up, we found that the clock display on the front didn't work at all. Other reviewers mentioned this function going out a couple weeks after opening the box, but I doubt ours worked at any point. So, we've ordered a replacement and I'm hoping it works on second attempt. Otherwise, we'll be getting a refund for sure.

iLive Travel Speaker with iPod Dock (Black) Review

This company sells junk. I bought this ilive travel speaker and it did not work out of the box. Unfortunately i didn't check to see if it worked until I went on a trip which was past the time I could return it to A1 books. So i spent the $10 to send it back to iLive under there manufacturers warranty. Anyway they sent me a different speaker system than the one I ordered and it has one speaker that just produces static. Do yourself a favor and buy from a reputable company.

iLive 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker Bar with iPod Dock (Black) Review

I bought this a couple weeks ago and I really wished there were some reviews to help my decision. So, here's one to help yours. Ok, first of all on paper this thing is really cool. All in one surround sound system that plays DVDs, upscales to 1080i, and has a dock for your ipod so you can watch the ipod content on your TV and listen to the music on the speakers.

In theory this means I could get rid of my DVD player, my old speakers and receiver, and have way less clutter and cables to connect everything. Just one speaker bar, and a TV and you're done.

It does all that and that is all really cool. For me, in a small house, having a nice all in one device that I can connect my TV to is great. It also has several other audio inputs that work great for my record player. The sound is really good (though of course, not as good as a true surround sound system with speakers all of your room). For my small living room its more then loud enough and a VAST improvement over my TV's speakers. The iPod dock does what it says and extends out and charges and plays your iPods contents. Pretty sweet right?

Ok, there are several downsides to this product that haven't quite pushed me to returning it, but have gotten me close. Number one the remote is insane! There are so many oddly labeled buttons and so many features it is terribly confusing. This is for sure the kind of product your friend staying at your house will not be able to figure out how to use. Especially the iPod features. A lot of the bottoms simply do not do what they say they will do either. For instance, the "VIDEO" botton is supposed to show what resolution you are using (480i/ 1080i ect) but it doesn't. Or, actually if you press the bottom there is a flash during resolution change and for a half a mili second the label pops up in a blaze of static then disappears. Setting all that up was extremely confusing, but I finally figured out setting my TV to full screen and setting the player to 16:9 with the VIDEO button repeatedly pressed until it looked right was the way to go. Seriously, the remote is insane. SO hard to use.

Ipod playback is real good but unfortunately you have to connect the unit via component or S-video cables to work for the iPOD. I have the DVD Player connected via HDMI so its kind of a shame to complicate such a simple all in one unit by having to use 2 video out cables on it. Video playback was terrible until I figured out that the DVD player mounted on the far right of the machine was being vibrated by the bass and therefor glitching out. Once i mounted the bar to the wall everything was cool. It does come with both a stand and wall mounts. You will find HDMI cables very difficult to use on the unit if you use it on the stand because the cable comes straight out of the bottom and mine wouldn't bend enough to not be lifting the unit off the table on one end.

The mounts utilize a set of spacers that are made of some kind of really dense foam. They smell terrible! I'm serious, if you get one, you will see. They must be made of old burned down house because thats what they smell like. I washed the spacers and wall mounts carefully with soap and water, and anytime I go near my TV the smell is still overwhelming.

So overall, this is a really cool all in one product. No speaker wires to run, minimal cables to run to your TV and pretty much everything you need for an entertainment center minus a TV. The design is cool, the manufacturing is questionable (one of my speaker ports fell out (but was easily snapped into place and the ipod dock feels like it will break off), and the controls and printed manual are awful and not very helpful. If you can deal with the awkwardness of the unit's controls it really is a great and inexpensive all in one unit.

Door Lock/alram Interface Review

This product has been discontinued. If you're looking for the replacement Chrysler module, then you're looking for the DLPKCG2. The new version comes pre-flashed which is perfect for DIYers. If you're a dealer then save the dollars and go with this product. This module can be flashed with the same firmware as the new one yet is half the price. Good luck!

iLive 2.1-Channel DVD/CD Home Music System with iPod Dock (Black) Review

This sound system is a good system for the price. It provides good quality sound and a clear picture with DVD playback. The MP3 playback menus are very basic, and I wish you could play a whole MP3 CD on random instead of just individual folders, but I haven't figured out a way to do that yet.

Cons: the DVD tray seems very fragile. I don't know if it is as it hasn't broken or anything, but I wouldn't want my kids playing with it very much. The only other problem I have noted is that, while the remote works very well, the buttons on the base unit sometimes are quirky (at times when I push the skip ahead button it skips twice, and the volume knob has to be turned slowly or it doesn't respond)

Overall the system works well for the price, if you can get past its quirks.
