30 Pin pass through docking station???

Is there such a thing as a docking station that accepts a 30pin connector on the back and simply passes through the entire 30 pins to base where the iPod plugs in?
I have an iPod car kit in my Jeep and it simple comes with a 30 pin cord that you plug in, then have to find a place to lay the iPod on my console.
I would much rather just hard mount a docking station someone on the car so I can just dock the iPod as I come and go.
However the problem with most docking stations is they don't pass all 30 pins of the connection through ... they only use a handful of the connections(power, audio out). So when I plug my car kit into most of docking stations, then dock the iPod ... they don't work.
I need all 30 pins as my stereo takes complete control of the iPod when plugged in; all control is routed through the stereo and the ipod controls are locked out.
Any suggestions would be great ... I've bought and returned a number of models already ... even dissected a few to see if I could mod them myself.

If "wiggling" the headphones plug in the iPod's jack makes it work, there is probably a hardware problem with the iPod's headphones jack.
Which iPod shuffle model do you have? This document shows the four types

Except for the 1st gen model, the shuffle's headphones jack is used for both docking and playing, so how are you able to use a docking station to play audio from the shuffle (if it's not a 1st gen model)?

How do i get my iphone to play music through docking station speakers?

When I place my iPhone in my Bose docking station, it plays music through the iPhone's speakers. How do I get my iPhone to route music playing through the Bose's speakers? My Nano plays just fine in my docking station.

Did you check to see that shuffle is is turned off? To do this, while playing a song tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls if they are not already visible (see photo below). Then tap the shuffle button (bottom right) until it turns white (white is off).

IPod touch has stopped playing through docking station, please help

Please help, my ipod touch has stopped playing through my docking station, what should I do?

Undock the Touch, get a flashlight and inspect the docking connector. Clear any dust/debris you find. Do the same on your docking station.

Looking for competent docking station for iPhone 3GS

I'm having a terrible time finding a good docking station for my new iPhone 3GS. Before I bought it I used a 5th generation iPod 60GB. I have a belkin usb hub/dock for it that works great. When my computer is off it charges the iPod, and it's a powered usb hub as well. Occasionally I would plug in an AV cable to watch content I purchased from iTunes on my TV.
I'm now trying to find a dock with equivalent or better abilities for the iPhone 3GS, and I'm coming up empty. Here's what I need in order of importance:
1. *Plug into AC and charge iPhone when Mac is off, while still being connected via USB so that it will sync automatically when Mac is on.*
2. Pass through dock connector to another dock connector on back so that I can connect Apple composite cables to TV, via the dock.
3. Powered USB hub with 2 or more usb ports.
4. A media card reader would be a really nice plus and make it perfect.
The closest I've found is the Griffin Simplifi, however the FAQ for it on their website states this:
"Will the Simplifi charge my iPod or iPhone while my computer's powered off or asleep?
Even though the Simplifi has its own power supply, your iPod or iPhone requires an active USB connection to charge. This means that the Simplifi will not charge your device if your computer is powered off or asleep."
I'm pretty sure their explanation is technically inaccurate, and simply a way of trying to shift the blame for their stupidity on to Apple. Nevertheless it makes this dock utterly useless (see item 1 above).
Is there any way to accomplish what I need, or is it hopeless?

Costco was, and may still be selling, the iHome Model iD95.... I think this model is only carried by Costco. Other retailers such as Amazon.com sell the iHome iD83 App-Enhanced 30-pin iPod/iPhone/iPad Alarm Clock Speaker Dock. See the description of this model at Amazon.com. Both my model and the one on Amazon.com are described as a HOME SYSTEM for your iPad. It has a dock on the top of the AM-FM Radio which will accommodate either an iPad, iPod or iPhone (up to model 4s). If you have an iPhone5 or newest iPad, you can get a "30 pin to lightning" adapter to accommodate. I just got an iPhone 5, and ordered the "30 pin to Lightning" adapter, so that I can once again use my iPhone on the dock. It has 2 alarms, and numerous other features, including a battery backup, digital display, it charges your iPad/iPod/iPhone, and it has pretty darn good stereo speakers. It's easy to adjust the base and treble. Price when I bought it in September, was $79.95 and there was a $20 coupon. It is easy to program music or Pandora from an iPhone/iPod/iPad, and can even program for music or Pandora before going to sleep and shuts itself off at a specified time, and then can turn on the radio or an alarm, or music or Pandora at a specified time in the morning. I'm happy with it.

My ipod nano this morning has started to tell me the accessory (lightening to 30-pin adaptor) I use for playing it through my docking station is not supported. It worked fine up until last night. Does anyone know why this might be?

Clean any debris from the adapter, docking station connector and the connector on the Nano.

My ipod touch has stopped playing through my Sony docking station, It only plays through i pod. It's not the docking station as my daughter's ipod works fine on it. It can synch when connected to computer. Any ideas what is wrong?

My ipod touch wont play through my docking station

hiya i have an ipod touch. aout a week ago it stopped working with my docking station. it wont play through the docking station speakers. ive tried two other ipods on the station and they work fine so its clearly a problem with my ipod. the ipod registers that its plugged into a charging source and starts playing music when its plugged in but through its own speakers rather then the docking station. i've tried doing a full factory reset and that didnt work. does anybody have any suggestions?

- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

What adapter do I need for my ipod Nano 7th Generation to connect to a Sony home docking station (30 pin). I purchased the one recommended (Lightning to 30 pin adapter), but it says 'this accessory is not supported by this device)?

Could someone please tell me the correct lead I need for an Applie Ipod 7th Generation 16GB for a Sony docking station. I bought a Lightning to 30 pin adaptor that fits the dock but not the ipod (this was recommended to me by someone from the Apple shop believe it or not). I need one that will fit the ipod and then slot into the 30 pin dock. The dock pulls out and my old ipod (5th Generation) just slotted straight in, but this slot obviously doesn't fit. It would really help if someone can recommend what I need to use or even if there is one that just slots in or whether I need some sort of cable and can't use the docking station. I've had a lock at the Apple store but just keep getting confused about what does what and can't seem to see anything unless I need an additional cable to slot into the 30 pin adapter I already have?
HELP - CONFUSED.COM!

If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

Why is my ipod not playing music through a docking station?

Why is my ipod touch not playing music through a docking station?

Did it work before with this iPod?
Did you do something to the iPod since it last worked?
Does the manufacture way it will work with your model iPod and its iOS?

Looking for an docking station for DV9205us that has power pass-thru

I have an HP DV9205us and am looking for a docking station that has a power pass-thru. The power plug on my latop doen't always power up the laptop and this has gotten on my nerves. Is the ES631AA#ABA the only docking station that works with the DV9205us

Thanks for the link.
Hadn't seen that review, but it matches what I conclude about that particular model - there's still lots of connecting & disconnecting to do. It has only one USB port docked, and another one sitting up top. I have many items I'll be attaching via USB, such as Wacom, backup drive, external drive for photos, mouse. And would prefer a Powered version so I don't have to connect the power cord each time either. And if you notice that video, he shpws his desktop consisting on nothing but a keyboard & a monitor. So with the lid closed on the MBA, how's he move the cursor around? Missing a mouse there. (Yes - he could have a wirelesss mouse, but personally, I find a wired mouse much better - but he has NONE.
Hoping to find someone who has actually used one.
From my research, it seems the Landing Zone MAY do what I want, but I can't get answers from them to questions. They have units for 2012 - 2013 MBA's, but I don't see anything on their site about the 2014 model I have.
And there's a few other brands out there - but seeking real life experiences.

What model iPod and iOS works and which does not?
Sometimes a 4G iPod will not fully sead in the dock because its case configuration is different that previous models.
Also, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility.
Have you checked the dock manufactuer's support stie for compatibility?
Sometimes this works:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Lightning to 30 pin adaptor giving no sound when connected to docking station

lightning to 30 pin adaptor giving no sound when connected to docking station

I am always amazed in these forums by the number of people who think they are helping by asking obvious questions about the problem with no clue what the real issue is or how to help.
That being said:
I had the same problem after upgrading.
Could boot your tablet, should fix the problem.
1. power off the unit.
2. Power on by holding the power button and volume up button at the same time.
3. using the volume up and down button as a right and left curser, selectt the Android icon and press the power button.
4. this will cold boot the system and the various dock functions should return.
Warning: Selecting anything else but the android icon will reset the device to factory defaults and wipeout all your info.
