    No, its not.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, buddy, but apparently its only an IR-receiver as far as the iPod (there is nothing inside it to transmit the IR signals down the Dock cable, they go straight into the Dock, then the iPod - very simply said)

    You can buy a Keyspan remote, that works - they even offer the supported software/firmware themselves. Maybe you could look into buying the Keyspan remote and receiver, then using the Apple remote with it :confused:

    Sorry..
