Does anyone have experience with the L5 Remote for iPod touch and iPhone?

"The L5 Remote transforms the iPhone and iPod touch into a personal universal remote that controls televisions, DVD players, DVRs, cable boxes, audio equipment, and most other products that come with an infrared remote" stated on their homepage.

Is it possible to control Bang & Olufsen products with?

Are there any alternative devices on the market to control Bang&Olufsen equipment via my iPod touch?

Thank you very much for your help.

If you look at the fact sheet at the L5 Remote site, at the bottom you will find a question from a B&O owner who then proceeds to control his equipment with this universal remote for the iPod Touch and iPhone. He confirms that he has no trouble in IOS4.

As I understand it, they've added all the B&O codes to the device, controllable from the free app.

A similar device is the Re NK100 by NewKinetix. More info here:

According to an entry in their user forum the Re is not preprogrammed for B&O code but can learn and handle the special frequencies:

Hi Sounndproof.  I think you may have missunderstood.
I was the B&O owner who asked if they had B&O codes yet, and they answered that they had added them but not tested them yet.

The following response "Yes. It works with iPhone 4."  was directed to another question, non-B&O related.
I have downloaded their version of B&O remote but haven't bought the device yet.  $70 inc P&P is wasted money if it doesn't work!
I thought about making a deal with them. ie  Send me a freebie, and I'll post all over BeoWorld how fantastic it is. That would generate a few sales I bet!
