Okay, I recently received a Logitech Pure-Fi Dream I-Pod/I-Phone dock system. I also received some wireless speakers for my deck. Here’s the problem: The Pure-Fi is a great little system, but it doesn’t have an audio out to allow me to play the I-Phone (3G) both inside and outside. My google-fu is weak and I’m frankly confused by all of the options available. Does anyone know of a good docking system that has the following features:

1. I-Phone 3G compatible (with charging).
2. A decent remote control for handling the I-Pod functions.
3. Audio input and output.
4. An AM/FM radio built-in

I realize I’m asking for a lot, but surely somebody has made something like this, right?

I believe the [Apple Universal Dock](http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB125G/B?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjE0NjMxOQ) will do what you’re looking for.

ETA: D’oh, I missed the Am/FM requirement.

I just came across this. The [Eklipse CD Clock Radio with iPod Dock](http://www.unicahome.com/p49131/sonoro/eklipse-cd-clock-radio-w-ipod-dock-by-sonoro.html) meets all of your criteria—and more—for the low, low price of $550.
