IPad remote control

[K9nny]

Hello everyone,

I have a Harmon Kardon iPod dock, it's great and only just missed out on 5 stars from What Hi-Fi because of the restricted view of the iPod Touch screen when installed. However, I have an idea to get around this. I now have an iPad, do you know if there is an app that will work as a wifi remote between the two, I need the iPad to control the iPod?

Thanks, Kenny.

I think Veency would be the only way...and you have to jailbreak to do that. I don't think there is an iOS to iOS remote tho.

If you were jailbroken, there is an app that will allow an iPod to control an iPad. I would assume that it might work the other way, iPad to iPod. The app appears to be for controlling the iPad when it is attached to a TV (display out), so you can control it from across the room. It's called "iPod Remote Controller" from BigBoss, $1.00

Check out Tango Remote on the app store...this will do exactly what you want.

Thanks everyone, Tango Remote is just what I was after.

Kenny,

Have you tried Tango Remote yet?

 

[Norm01]

Do you need to buy Tango remote on both devices?

Buy it once as long as they are both on the same iTunes account.

Installed it yesterday and it works a treat. It won't control the volume when the iPod is docked but I knew that anyway. Also, I think I am right in saying that it controls the music library only, it would be nice if I could also control the radio app that I have.
