I don't think the G2 even has a remote port.
I have an update. There's a major problem with this dock. There is a god awful, loud buzzing sound when the USB is plugged in. Basically, it make the dock a useless paperweight. Looks like Amazon is getting a return!
Maybe you should check in with online chat slacker real quick. Maybe it is widespread, or they should at least know about it. Definitely use amazon though on a exchange/return.I have an update.

OK. The connection seems to be a bit touchy. I played around with the plug until I found a spot where the buzz went away. I still have some concerns.
My question is this: Does the G2 recognize that it's been plugged into the dock? If so, does it change any menu options?
Okay, I just got home with mine and set it up.
I am not hearing any buzzing from the AC Adapter.
The audio-output on the dock is fixed, so the volume setting on the G2 has no impact on it. So, you'll have to use the boombox, stereo or whatever devices you are plugging the audio out into to control the volume. The headphone output is variable, so the volume on the G2 does control it even if you have the audio-out plugged in too.
You can also run the G2 from just the battery power and the dock still works, so it doesn't require being plugged into power unless you are charging it and or using USB to refresh the device. This is good because it will allow you to cycle your battery occasionally.
Okay now trying the USB and I am not hearing any buzzing from there either.
I am well pleased with the G2 dock from my initial use of it.

I think what happened is the plug and/or G2 became slightly loose. It doesn't take much to loosen the G2 since it sits flush on the dock. My bad!

Also, is the fixed line out loud enough?
