Vodafone/3 are clearing out these accessories for only $10 - just plugs into the dock port of your iOS device.

Deal should be good across Australia, and the couple of stores I've worked at all have 5-10 in stock, but you may have to ask for them as they might not be on the shelves (and the price tags wouldn't have been updated if they were).

I don't think I count as a store rep (and I definitely don't represent VHA with this post)- I just work in one of their retail stores and noticed that these were going cheap.

    Wondering what's the real use of this device?

    • get-innocuous on 24/06/2011 - 11:01

      It's an IR transmitter - you configure it to your TV/DVD player etc with the app which comes with the device, and it allows you to use your iPhone as a remote control. I don't know how good the app is, having never actually used it.

  • Vladdo on 24/06/2011 - 11:05

    Nice find… much better than the $30 they were ozbargained for yesterday.. might have to trawl around a few shops to find one… (or several hehe)

    Sounds like a very expensive remote. Hope the app does more then just changes channels, like more logitech haramony macro type

      $10 is an expensive remote?

        lol yes… This is Ozbargain !!!

      it's also about convenience… if you have an iphone, you wont' need to buy another universal remote…

      (also good for changing channels/volume in doctor's waiting rooms, pubs, cafes etc. etc….)

    ok i knew this is an IR transmitter and it works as an universal remote

    but why would i bother to 1.plug in the transmitter, 2. tap to open the app, 3. choose the device which I'd like to control, and 4. change channels/volume etc … while I might have already grabbed the real remote and done with what I want in no time?

    this is technology

    • uraha on 24/06/2011 - 11:57

      would you carry a remote outside your house?

      • hsct on 24/06/2011 - 12:03
        +2

        it depends why do i need a remote outside my house. i think you'll need to pre-program before it can be used on any TV/VCR/DVD players. So don't expect in a Pub you can change the live sport channel into ABC2 cartoon channel with this transmitter+app alone.

        • llama on 24/06/2011 - 12:32

          You could if you used the phone to get the TV codes for the app.

        • netsurfer on 24/06/2011 - 13:33

          If the pub is kind enough to lend you the original remote for a few minutes, you can use the learning feature and then start changing channel non-stop to annoy everyone in the pub (probably will get escorted out of the pub).

          If the pub is kind enough to lend you the original remote for a few minutes

          you can probably select the remote from the list if you know the brand/model of TV

        • theworks on 24/06/2011 - 15:52

          the problem is they would knows its you! you just borrowed a remote!!!

      you obviously havent used a receiver or home theater system before, a uni remote is heaps more handy then say the minimum three i need to turn all the gear on.

  • roughana on 24/06/2011 - 12:17

    I picked one up in North Sydney Greenwood store. They don't have any more in stock though.

    • llama on 24/06/2011 - 12:40

      Bugger, I was gunna duck down there at lunchtime.

  • bargainr on 24/06/2011 - 12:26

    $10. Great find.

  • sickburn on 24/06/2011 - 12:47

    Thanks! Bought the only one on display at the 3/Vodafone store at the QVB (Sydney)!

  • Gish on 24/06/2011 - 13:28

    EDIT: Got a store to hold some for me till tonight. (fingers crossed)
    Thanks Voda-dude! Or 3zian..

  • dan76n on 24/06/2011 - 14:00

    The one on Elizabeth, near Collins didn't have any…

  • superfunhappy on 24/06/2011 - 14:15

    I was interested in buying a few, but i downloaded the software and i'm not interested in it anymore.. lol.. i get the feeling that it was abandoned.. :(

  • FOX on 24/06/2011 - 14:56

    Just a side question for OP since you work at Voda/3: do you still sell all those heavily discounted bluetooth headsets and car stereos?

    • get-innocuous on 24/06/2011 - 16:32
      +1

      If your local stores still have them they'd still be $10 each, but all the ones I knew of went within the week they got discounted a few months ago.

  • Rocket on 24/06/2011 - 15:07

    Trid the 3 store in Prahran Central and the one in Chapel St South Yarra and neither had stock.

    • jv on 24/06/2011 - 15:10

      i wonder if the stores can see the stock levels of the other stores ????

  • ccrap on 24/06/2011 - 15:12

    None at all Parramatta NSW Westfield Voda/3 stores.

  • drewbles on 24/06/2011 - 15:16

    Vodafone South Melbourne are sold out as well (on Clarendon Street)

    NOTE, don't just take the staff's word for it, make sure they look… I went to 3 stores in Melb and none of the staff knew what i was looking for, but 2 of the stores actually had stock…

  • carpecrash on 24/06/2011 - 15:25

      that's the total amount i paid for 4 of them, lol…

      • aec on 24/06/2011 - 20:09

        then you sell them on ebay for $40 inc postage?

        • ccrap on 24/06/2011 - 21:59

          lol jv might be considered many things eg pr0n connoisseur, but jv != broden, at least I hope not :)

        • jv on 27/06/2011 - 12:43

          nope, got one for me one for the wife and two for gifts for a couple of relatives… not for sale…

          if i was doing a broden, i would've purchased the last one on Eliz St too…

    • Austin 316 on 24/06/2011 - 16:36

      how is $40 considered a deal for something you don't really need. We buy it off ozbargain because it is just a luxury we can afford at $10. If we had to spend $40, we probably won't be trolling here.

  • dan76n on 24/06/2011 - 17:13

    Anyone got it working with Tivo?

    • ccrap on 24/06/2011 - 18:15

  • strangeloops66 on 24/06/2011 - 18:48

    4 left at Garden City (Brisbane southside) as at mid-afternoon.

  • dishak on 25/06/2011 - 09:16

    Got the last one at miranda, staff said more coming monday morning.

  • m0nkeycheese on 25/06/2011 - 18:48

    Think I got the last one at Burleigh Heads..

  • ccrap on 25/06/2011 - 18:55

    None at Parramatta, Rhodes, Blacktown, Top Ryde, Penrith, Rouse Hill, Chatswood, Burwood or Hornsby. Few of the staff said no more coming in as they were clearing it out. Great deal for those that got the last remaining few. I searched high and low with my imaginary $2 kmart ladder but found none :(

    • strangeloops66 on 26/06/2011 - 02:03

      Did you really need your imaginary Kmart ladder to search low?

          Spare one - sold.

  • Aceboy884 on 20/07/2011 - 12:02

    Hi all

    if anyone still subscribed to this email,

    Would there be any interest at buying it for $20 delivered?

    We may strike a deal to order some

    $10 won't cover postage so it's a no go

    and we can't compete.
