The Altec Moondance Glow iM402 iPhone clock radio has original features such as entertaining light settings, a snooze remote and fantastic sound quality and settings. Practically every feature is customizable including sleep and snooze times, light, brightness settings and sound settings. However, because there are so many customizable features, the setup process can be long and tedious with this iPod clock radio.
One of the most striking differences of this iPod clock radio is the design of the product. It is thin and has a terrific look. There is an assortment of lighting features and options that can be turned on and off to help make the iPhone clock radio even more pleasing to look at. The iPhone clock radio is aesthetically very pleasing. However, the iPod dock is somewhat difficult to use.
The screen of the iPhone clock radio is tiny, only a few inches across and for those who are looking for a clock they will be able to read from across the room will want to avoid this product. This also makes navigation through the other various settings somewhat difficult because every feature is customizable.
You’ll want to spend some time going over the user manual and familiarizing yourself with the interface before you attempt to begin using the iPod clock radio. You can customize the interface to make the time display largest, or music information predominately displayed on the screen. The iPod dock has brightness settings and mood lighting. Although the light does not bounce or change with the music, the different settings can be entertaining. The alarm settings can be set to go off every day, only weekdays or only weekends. There are also customizable sound options to increase bass, treble and balance.

Another innovative feature is the small snooze alarm remote. While most of us keep the entire alarm clock near the bed for convenience, this iPod dock has a small remote that will turn off the alarm. This could help you better design your room and not limit the placement of your clock radio.
The sound quality of this iPod dock is nearly unmatched by the other similar iPod docks with alarms. The bass is the strongest of all the different devices we reviewed and there was no audio playback or static coming from the speakers, even at the loudest volume settings.
