RCA Universal Dock for iPod Clock Radio (RP5512i)

 (21 customer reviews)

I read reviews that other people have written about this item saying that it stopped working for them, and don't understand why mine works great.
I travel with the Phantom of the Opera as a crew member, and I pack this thing all around the country with me in my carry on bag. Yeah its kind of big, but it charges my iPhone and is a great alarm clock. There is a sliding switch at the bottom for you to choose your US time zone, and a button for DST (I ran into areas that don't do DST in Canada allot). The alarm will also go off without being plugged in for those times you accidentally plug into those pesky switched outlets in hotel rooms. Another great feature is if you adjust an alarm time, it will automatically turn on activate that alarm so you don't have to remember to turn it on after setting it. It also has a NAP button. Opposite of a SLEEP button (which it also has), it will do increments of 10, 15, 20 etc min. without having to reset one of the two alarms you can store in...Read more

I have never reviewed a product in my life, so bear with me.
I wanted to wake up to my ipod music, rather than my annoying alarm clock, so I did some research and read many reviews about other ipod alarm clock products. I had certain features I wanted, such as being able to dim the light on the unit for nightime sleeping, and I wanted to be able to set the waking volume of the music and a few other features. This RCA fit the bill nicely, there is a switch on the right side to dim the blue light and the digital numbers on the clock, and there is also a volume knob on the right.
You can wake to alarm sound, radio or ipod music and what is great is that there is two alarm settings, if you have a spouse or want to wake at the different time on the weekend and I found that a great feature. The unit has buttons on the top to quickly turn Alarm 1 or 2 on and which feature you want to wake up to.
It has a sleep feature that allows you to fall asleep to music or a nice nature...Read more

The first one I ordered from Amazon didn't charge my ipod. I sent it back and the next one worked fine. This clock has many features and I really like it. It was a great buy for the money, much less than the iHome. I would recommend this eventhough the first didn't work.
