Does the dock connector give a signal OUT

I'm thinking of buying a CD head unit for my car, that plays MP3s/WMA and has a USB and Aux in. I understand that the headphone jack gives an inferior signal (it's slightly affected by circuitry or something). The seller has told me that the dock connector to USB will not only carry the music, but will charge the ipod.
So, this post title says it all, can the dock connector send the music to the USB?

There are a number if you look on ebay. The one I'm looking at is from Virtual Reality Soundlabs - the VRCD300. About £75 in the Uk or $100 in the US. The manufacturers tell me that the USB will plays Mp3s (nut not wma or aac) from the ipod.

Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audio output of the docking connector, or is it in fact the same signal ?

Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audiooutput of the docking connector of the iphone 4, or is it in fact the same signal ?

One basic difference is that the LTE frequencies each is able to operate on are different. After that, it is pretty much the same phone. Others might be able to add to this.

TS5150 Does the optical digital audio port send out a Dolby Digital signal

Does the optical digital audio port send out a Dolby Digital signal

Yes if the media has such an audio track available it can do so.
There is a setting for audio and video allowing DD output to be set for Auto (on/off if connected HDMI device can decode DD), On or Off.

How do you get sound through the dock connector to a PC or Mac?

Where I work they have blocked the Pandora website. (Along with just about every other online radio site.) They don't mind if we listen to music, as long as it's not streamed online through their network.
I have both a PC & a Mac on my desk.
What I would like to do is listen to my Pandora app from my iPhone by plugging the dock connector into a Mac or PC. This would keep the battery drain to a minimum & allow for better quality.
When I plug in the dock connector the phone starts charging & iTunes want's to sync. I can run the Pandora app, but no sound comes through the computer.
Does anyone know how to get the audio to come from the dock connector & play through the computers sound card?

You have several choices:
1. Composite AV Cable: has a dock connector on one end and USB, RCA line out and RCA composite video on the other. It also comes with an AC Adaptor.
2. Component AV Cable: same as the Composite AV Cable but with RCA component video.
3. Universal Dock: has a dock connector socket on it and a line out socket.
4. iPhone 3G Dock or the (original iPhone Dock): same as the Universal Dock but designed just for the iPhone.
All you need is somewhere to plug the line out into.

HT204291 my ipad2 thinks it is airplaying to the Dock Connector

my ipad2 thinks it is airplaying to the Dock Connector any fix? I shut off bluetooth, reset all settings, blew out the dock connector with a can of air and held down the top switch and round button, already.

turn the volme bar down no you can see the orange bit, then lock the screen. Leav eyour phone/ipad/ipod for a few minutes then turn the volume bar up and go into your iphone/ipad and it should work, otherwise all youll have todo is give the charging point a good hard blow/compressed air which should also work.
if not book in and see the apple genuis'

Opamp gives a signal out even there is no VCC+-

Hi,
how is it possoble that some opamps work properly that means in terms of VCC+ and VCC-, for example when VCC+ is 10V and VCC- is -10 V the possible maximum Output is +-10V. And this works for some. But for a lot of op amp types like for example the opamp LF356N, the opamp amplifies and gives a signal out even if VCC+ and VCC- is 0. How is this possible, I used Mulitisim 10 for this, is this an error in the program? And the offset inputs have also no effects on the output voltage. Does anyone else have the same problem?
Thanks

Orange crusty stuff in the dock connector!

Hi,
Earlier today my iPhone 4's home button decided to play up until it decided to stop completely. A few minutes after this, my phone kept on saying 'This Accesory is not compatable with iPhone' or something like this. SO... I connected the phone to my Mac to do a restore and just as iTunes was about to restore the phone, it said the phone wasn't connected. I unplugged the phone and now there is some orange cursty stuff in the dock connector and on the cable and the phone is extremely hot even after disconnecting it. Does anyone know what this could be? And also my warranty ran out on the 25th July

Sounds like corrosion. I suppose it's possible the battery could be leaking. You may want to take it in. If you're really nice to the genius, they may replace it for you. An out of Warranty replacement is $199.
It could just be corrosion. Clean it out good with a dry toothbrush. If something is shorting the dock connector, it might explain the heat. Also, check all of your cables and docking accessories for signs of rust.

In Multisim, components can have more that one SPICE model assigned to it.
My guess would be that you have selected model "Motorola/LF356" for the LF356N, which is a the 3-pin model (only inputs +/- and output) and therefore doesn't simulate VCC+- .
Try to place the LF356N with the model "National/LF356_4". This is a 5-pin model (* nodes: 3=+ 2=- 1=out 5=V+ 4=V-) that will simulate VCC+-.
There are two ways you can change the model for a component
Select the model in the component browser dialog when placing it
Select "Edit component in DB" from the value tab of the component's property dialog

Hairline In the Dock Connector

Hi ,
I have just bought an Ipod nano 5th gen [brand new]and as soon as i was going to connect it to my pc for syncing i noticed a line in the middle of the dock connector of the ipod , the line starts from the inside and continues to the outside and returning back inside [looks like a mountain has been drawn]. This line or watever its called is on the silver plated surface of the D. Connector . My other 8gb version doesn't have any such thing.
Also it works fine and everything but that line...........
So what do u think i should and if u were in my place what would u do ?
Thanks alot

Apple does not read these forums. These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post questions and offer answers to each other. You need to call Apple Support.
Did you even bother to read the links I posted? Through a Google search I found the following:

Trouble with the dock connector??

I have no clue why my Ipod is doing this or if its the cord. Ill plug my Ipod into the computer, and nothing happens. If I lift the cord up right where it plugs into my ipod it'll start charging. So unless i use the case to wrap the cord up over the screen and hook the cord to the belt clip to keep a constant pull on it, it won't connect or charge. Though i have used another cord and i still had to do this to charge it.
Can anyone tell me why it's doing this? and how I would fix it?

Have you tried cleaning the dock connector slot on the iPod? You may have a problem with the dock connector and it needs replacement. If you have an Apple store nearby you might want to make an appointment at their Genius Bar.

Output level of the dock connector

Hi, when I plug a remote control or if a use a dock station using the dock connector, the output level of my Ipod are very low. I put the volume level at 100% but it sound like the volume was at 50%. I'm not using the max volume setting.
Someone else have this problem?

I had the same problem and found the following solution:
1)In Itunes I chose all my song (CTRL+A)
2)Under the file tab choose show info (or simply press CTRL+I)
3)Chosse the settings tab folder
4) Adjust the volume
Your computer will then update all your song - in my case 3000 wich took 15 minutes. Then I connected the Ipod who basically transferred all the songs again which took about 40 minutes.
When i plugged it in to the docking station the volume is much higher, and the amplifier in the Ipod will not distort the music. (If this does not work - check that sound control is turned off on your Ipod settings.)

Does the dock from a fourth generation ipod shuffle work with a second generation ipod shuffle?

No, they are different. If you look at the replacement part for the 4th gen shuffle's USB cable

it says it's only for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.

Does the Ipod connectors work with ZEN Visio

Does the MBA have an optical audio out (toslink)?

Does the MBA have an optical audio out (toslink)?

The MacBook Pro and iMacs have digital audio out routed through the headphone jack. A physical converter (costing a few cents) must be used to connect a regular TOSLINK cable.
The MacBook Air apparently does not have this feature.
As to true Thunderbolt 'adaptors' I have yet to see any hit the market. I would suggest not holding your breath while waiting for useful Thunderbolt technology to appear--one day perhaps, but not now. I would love to be proven wrong about this--I could really use the Thunderbolt<->FW800 adapter

HT201270 Apple please fix this the dock connector in my car effects the airplay on my phone no matter what I try to fix it it always goes to play music on the dock connector in my car even when I do not ask it to! The iPhone selection is no choice.

Apple is not here.
Clean the dock connector on your device with a soft, dry brush.
