I have a bicycle dock with a wireless remote that attaches to the 
handlebars. I do NOT have an ipod. Ipods are kind of pricey. The 
knockoffs are 1/4 the price and have the same 30-pin connectors. Will 
the knockoff work in the docking station?

The docking station locks the ipod inside, leaving the controls 
unaccessible. The remote is the only way to control the ipod with this 
docking station. What are the chances the remote will work with a 
knockoff ipod?

Does your knockoff have Bluetooth capability?  If it does, you might look 
for an iPod bluetooth adapter - Sprint used to sell a device like that.
