I have been dealing with the same problem but times two . I have two fp 1 im trying to control . It works great some times . and really spotty other times. It really doesn't like to be moved arounded either if I walk to another room there a 10 second span where it will stop working. I've spend three full days tinker with it. if u take the ipod out and use internet radio don't have to many issues. Plus it i would not try it with an i-phone it really didn't work at all. I'm going to try the command “ESCX7003” .
