I am looking for an iPod dock that:

-Charges
-Has a Remote
-Is compatible with the Ipod Classic.

But most importantly:

-Has an audio out from the device

Quality of the speakers does not matter; in fact, it doesn't technically even need speakers as I will be connecting this to a whole-house intercom system via a 3.5mm to RCA Stereo splitter. I would simply like to be able to have it charging and be able to control it via remote while it is running through the intercom system.

I have had trouble finding something that meets this criteria without spending the extra money on a "nicer" unit with better speakers that I won't even be using. I either find stuff like the Belkin Power Dock which charges and has RCA AV-out but no remote or I find a dock with with a remote and no audio output capabilities.

If you know of any units that fit this criteria, let me know; Any help is appreciated.

awesome, thanks! I will definitely check into that. That seems to be exactly the kind of thing I was looking for (all the features I want, without paying for the stuff I don't want) at a good price.
