The wired remote is specified as CS-205. This is just a stereo mini jack to a 2 way switch. 1 for focus, 1 for shutter. I made my own for about $7.00. ... [Remote Control F] BTW: The wireless remote ONLY does the shutter, you have to pre-focus.
On the DS, there's an option to tell the AF system to activate with the IR remote. I don't know whether this exists on the D.
I use the Remote Control F for snapping pictures of myself and/or friends in a scene where I need/want a record shot. I keep it in the camera bag all the time. I use the CS205 Cable Switch when I'm working with the camera on a copy stand or a tripod, only carry it when I have the tripod with me too. It's easy to make one, but I was lazy and just bought it.
I believe that's the intended usage scenario.
