Does the Apple Remote Control work with IPOD TOUCH (1st Gen)

Hi there !

I have an old ipod touch (8GB, 1st gen.) and put it on a JBL On Stage 200ID (which creates the best sound for a good price, by the way) to have a nice radio and mp3 player for at home.

Now I would like to have a remote control and was wondering if the Apple Remote
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC377Z/A might work as the ipod is a really old one.

Thank you for telling me.

And have a good weekend.

Christine.

Per their product page:

"The Apple Remote requires the iPod Universal Dock and any iPod with a dock connector or any iPhone."

So you would have to have the iPod on the Apple iPod Universal Dock for it to work. It wouldn't work directly through the iPod.

I have a iMac, which comes with a remote.
Would the computer's remote control the iPod too, or are the remotes for iMac and iPod incompatible ?
