Does anyone here know how to get the iPod Touch to utilize the Radio Remote.

You can't. The iPod touch's firmware blocks the use of the remote. So even if there was an app that claimed it would work with the remote, nothing would work. Think of it this way: you purchase a new mouse and plug it into your computer but nothing happens. Why? Windows/Mac OS X has to install the necessary drivers to use the mouse. You can sit there screaming, holding your breath until you turn blue, moving the mouse around, and throwing it around. The mouse won't work without the necessary drivers. Well, the iPod touch doesn't have the necessary "drivers" to work with the remote.
