The dock has a digital AM/FM tuner for stereo playback and if you’ve ever used digital tuning before you’ll know that it is far superior to analog tuning, allowing you to easily find the station you’re looking for. But the really great feature is ability to set a wake-up playlist on your iPod and have the dock wake you up each morning to your favorite tracks. Don’t feel like listening to that song? Simply use the iMode’s wireless remote to switch between tracks. While all this is taking place you can be assured that your iPod is being recharged through the dock. Of course you can also wake to the radio or the buzzer, with the option of snoozing. The dock also sports several in/out jacks, including auxiliary in and out, as well as video out.
The only drawback for the iMode iPod Docking Station is the brightness of the display, which is most apparent at night. Fortunately, iMode built in a brightness toggle that allows you to switch between two levels of light. The dock’s circular design has a diameter of 7”, making it ideal for a desktop or dresser.
Accessorize your music players with affordable iPod Docks and your iPod will love you for it.
My daughter got this IMODE iPOD Docking station/Alarm Clock Radio for chirstmas, she really likes it, but by accident the Ipod docking part broke and I am wondering where I can get it fixed?

NEED HELP WITH SETTING THE ALARM
Responses to JAN
make sure its turned off first, then hold down the alarm set,
still holding the alarm set, press the hour and min buttons to adjust to the time
hey i just got mi imode but it wont play mi ipod it just plays the radio!wat the heck
Responses to sarah
press the power button and make sure the switch on the side is set to ipod.
The iMode sounds like a really cool gadget but it seem to have a lot of kinks that needs to be ironed out.
Apple, like microshit end to put stuff out there, and let the customer sort out the bugs by doing the beta testing for them….. that’s why i never by the first generation of a new gadget… let someone else do the bug fixes lol..
There are some people who must have these gadgets once they are released, I have such a co-worker, after a few weeks or months he sells it and buys something else. So there are more than enough beta testers out there. I am of the same opinion as you.
Exactly Liza, the gadget freaks (more freaky than me i meant)will buy any old tat the moment it is released, and soon find they need to upgrade to a bug free model.
how do you set the alarm and time!!!!!
My husband would like this gadget, but I will not buy something that has so many complaints.
Jake, doesn’t it come with a book of instructions??? I don’tsee how anyone here can help unless they have one…
Same problem here. No sound on IPod or radio
how do you charge the ipod. i put my ipod in but it wont charge and i dont know what the white inserts are for as the dont attach
according to the article above Aaron, it is charging while it is docked to the gadget.
u set the time by clicking the alarm buton then hold it down after letting go from clicking it once before and then the number will flash and use the search buttons (FF and RW) to go up and down in numbers then click the alarm button again to set the minutes then again to chose between radio or ipod to listen when u wake up then once more and itll be set
tht was from memory and i forgot how to set the time since i lost my booklet does anyone know?
All of the features on this thing seem to work find except that it won’t charge the new nano. It docks fine and plays as well as could be expected but warns that ”charging is not supported with this accessory”. If this only applies to certain ipods, the box should note the exceptions. Is there a solution?
Does not charge the iPod Nano as advertised. Wrote the company to complainand they blamed me for buying it! Said it was Apple’s fault!
Responses to jb
I got this thing also, without knowing my Ipod nano does not WORK in it. Sadly i can not take it back and im pissed that the box says It is compatible with the ipod NANO!
To set the time. is stupid.turn the light down or off or what ever then press the mem/clk adj button on my modle any ways I have a square one.
How do i set the time?

what are teh battery spaces for
my LCD display wont turn blue, i added batteries and everything too, and i have it plugged in, but its still plain, not blue, what do i do?
Responses to viola
Turn off the screen backlight for a while (the light is burnt out). turn it on after a month or so and it should work.
I have had mine for two years now. The speakers recently started giving problems, and I have to either shake the radio or shift the iPod on the dock for it to play. Luckily I have external speakers that I plug into the AUX port at the back of the radio, which works quite fine without me having to adjust the radio or the iPod. It would be good if persons purchase external speakers with this radio, since the speakers are always proving to be problematic.
Another problem that I just started having is with the controls on the radio. I am unable to use the remote because the radio and iPod are not recognizing each other. If I want to change songs or turn off the iPod, I have to use the iPod control.
I have had it for two years, and it has served me quite well, until recently. However I would recommend this buy to anyone who is looking for an iPod dock. It can be used with most -if not all- home theater systems and it is lightweight and can easily be transported in a knapsack or travel bag. It is an easy to use- and for persons who may not fully understand it- it is an easy to learn equipment. It is a nice item to give as a gift to anyone who owns an iPod.
Good luck to all users.
Radio works just fine but it won’t play my Ipod. Works fine for a charger. Has anyone got theirs fixed?
needs help to find another ac/dc adaptor for ip205 docking speaker (dc12v)
Sweet! My husband would love of these. This would make a great gift.
is it supposed to go without a plug in on the batteries i mean come on there are spots for batteries but when i put them in it did not work and im pissed
I recently bought the stores last Imode so directions for how to operate were not there. Can you tell me how to set the clock?
It seems that its not charging the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Is there a way to bypass this?
I got my iMode a while back a while back with my iPod Nano (idk which gen it was… it was either the square one or the one before it) but then last year at thanksgiving I bought myself the 2gen iPod Touch… and guess what?!? It wont charge! I have delt with this for almost a year, but now it is annoying me.. HELP!
I couldn’t get my ipod 4th gen to charge while docked. I’ve looked at other sites and apparently there are a number of ipods that will not charge in this device. Don’t waste your money. The box says that it will charge all ipods and generations and even gives you attachments so that they will fit, but it does not work. Plus, the manual is a joke in both english and french. Do not waste your money on this and certainly don’t condemn a loved one to try and figure it out on their by giving it to them as a gift.
this dock is an ok product, my remote never worked from day 1 and i hate the slots you have to put in for each different model ipod, because there were so many i lost some and now i cant find them !!! not a good dock
I just bought this thing yesterday. It worked fine when I got it out of the box and played/charged my iPod. Today I tried to turn it on, and guess what…….IT DOESN’T WORK ANYMORE!!!!! What the hell?!?! Can anyone tell me if they’ve had a similar issue??
It won’t play anything. Maybe the remote hit mute and since the remote is lost somehow it won’t become unmuted??? It charges my Ipod but it was a waiste of money as a gift…
it doesn’t charge my Ipod.
took me 3 days to figure out how to use the thing…. Maybe an instruction book… *sigh*….
I put my ipod in the docking station, at first it started to charge my i-pod, when i took it out to play with, it was fine, but when i put the i-pod back into the docking station, it doesnt charge my i-pod.
What can i o to fix this?
I was excited about this product, however, like the other reviews, it malfunctions and/or does not work properly. This article was from 2008 and although I do not know how recent some of these comments are, it is now currently January 17, 2010, almost 2 years later. One would think that after two (2) years of supposed beta testing and fixing out the glitches in the later-produced models of the product, they would have taken the time and effort and spent just a little bit of money ironing out these near two year old glitches that obviously need work. The whole point of this product is to play music from and charge your i-pod, which I can not do, and apparently, am not the only one with this problem, for the other reviews claim faulty products. I did recieve an instruction booklet, however it is so slim and had only basic information like the parts of the product, type of batteries required, and their laughable warranty, which should have been required to have in there anyways. The only other useful thing in their was how to set the alarm, which I suppose was a good thing since many people did not get a manual and therefore did not have the knowledge required to set it. My radio works, I believe it charges, however the sound does NOT come out of my i-pod, and I did try to turn the power on and turn the switch to ipo/aux, not FM or AM radio. PLEASE do not waste your money on supporting this greedy company and their pathetic product, if you buy an official i-dock or even some third-party off-brand name radio/cd player product that plays i-pods and other mp3 players not specifically designed for apple products, you will be getting a MUCH better deal.
I got my daughter the iMODE to use with her iPOD classic. It worked very well – however – she upgraded to the new NANO 5th generation and the iMODE will not charge the new generation NANO. Why??
it doesn’t charge my Ipod.
Does it work with an ipod shuffle?
I really liked this model when I got it. It stopped working after a year. Everything works but the sound. I will try external speakers to the AUX part in the back. I hope it works.
