Does the lightning to 30 pin adaptor work in speaker docks?

My old 3rd Generation iPod stopped working (the round scrolling dial won't work), so I bought a new 7th generation iPod last week.  I realized I couldn't play it on my fairly low-end Memorex speaker dock, so I got one of those $30 lightning-to-30-pin adaptors.  The new iPod charges, but it won't play music in my speakers.  Is this a problem with my particular adaptor, or do those not work to play music?  I am hoping there is some kind of setting adjustment I can make...  Thanks!

There are reports that 30-pin adapter does not work in all types of speaker docks. If it should, there should not have any trouble interfacing it with the ipod. If you are planning to get a new dock, check with the store first if it is compatible before you purchase it. Cheers!

  • Just bought a Bluetooth headset second hand it comes with a transmitter that plugs into the iPhone but as my phone is a 5 will the Lightning to 30 pin adaptor work?

    II've just bought a second hand Bluetooth headset which comes with a separate transmitter that plugs into the base of the phone. However it has a 30 pin connection and as my iphone is 5 I need an adaptor,
    MY question is, will the Lightning to 30 pin Apple adaptor (£25.00), do the trick?

    Hi biggles83,
    Your iPhone 5 has Bluetooth available without using an external transmitter - see its specifications page -
    iPhone 5 - Technical Specifications

    So you can set up the headset using the methods described on this page -

  • Will the lightning to 30 pin adapter work with the irig midi interface?

    will the lightning to 30 pin adapter work with the irig midi interface?  Want to record guitar with garage band on ipad mini. need quick/easy way to connect USB to ipad mini

    From both? Interesting. I like that though. I am looking for the controls to be on the iPhone rather than the stereo as it ***** finding songs this way. And yeah, $39.00 is a lot for this, and it is only roughly 8" long. Oh well, I will need it, so I will have to buy it. Thanks for the message back!

  • Will the lightning to 30-pin adapter work with my 2008 Volkswagen Jetta?

    I have a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta that came with an iPod Adapter in the center console. Has anyone recently tried using the lightning to 30-pin adapter with one if they have one? Even if it isn't a VW Jetta? Maybe something older or 2009? I want this and I am getting the iPhone 5 soon, but I don't exactly want to spend the $39.00 to see if this would work. Anyone have any experience or at least know if it would work?
    If it does, where are the controls used from; the iPhone or the stereo system in the car still?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Does the lightning to 30 pin adapter support audio?

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation and can't listen to it in the car because the wire from the cars FM transmitter has a 30 pin connection. I was just wondering if the lightning to 30 pin adapter would support the audio.

    Hey treshz98,
    Thanks for the information, I believe the following article addresses your question:
    Lightning to 30-pin Adapter: Using video adapters or other 30-pin accessories
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5498
    When you connect an iPod or iPhone with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, the iPod or iPhone will be treated like an iPod that does not support iPod Out. You should still be able to navigate through and play your music using the vehicle's built-in user interface.

  • Will the lightning to 30 pin adapter work with ihome

    I was wondering if, while using an iPoud Touch 5th Gen, a lightnight to 30pin adapter, and an iHome, would it charge and be able to play music? I saw something saying you won't but i wasn't sure if that was credible. Is there a way to make the iHome work with it if not?

    The overview for the adopter says:
    This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Support for analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
    Thus it supports audio, charging and some other functions but not video

  • Will the lightning to 30-pin adapter work with 2009 VW Jetta built-in iPod dock?

    I have a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta that has an iPod dock in the center console and I'm trying to listen to music from an iPhone 5S.
    Theoretically the Apple adapter should work with the VW iPod dock and my iPhone 5s. Can anybody confirm it? Also, will the adapter be able to charge my phone while connected?
    The ultimate goal is to get music from my phone play through the car's sound system. So another related questoin: is there a way to connect a bluetooth/wireless adapter to the iPod dock and stream music via iPhone 5S's bluetooth feature without modifying the car?
    What do you guys do and what are my options? Thank you in advance!

    No idea about a VW but my 07 BMW Z4 with BMW fitted iPod connector works fine with the Genuine Apple adapter using an iPod 7 with lightning socket play and charge

  • Can you use an iPhone 5 and the lightning to 30 pin adapter with the Scosche IPNRFCS wireless Car RF remote?

    I'd like to use this remote for my iphone 5 in my car to listen to music. The iphone will be plugged  into the stereo and be stowed away but I want a way to change the song because my stereo doesnt allow complete ipod control. Can i use the 30 pin adapter with this remote to hook the wireless adapter for the remote to the iphone? So i guess what im asking is does the lightning to 30 pin adapter support whatever kind of data is going between the iphone and wireless remote adapter?If not are there any good alternatives out there? Thanks!

    I am pretty sure that will not work.  Does your TV have HDMI?  You will need this:

    The adapter your purchased has this note :

    I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
    THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
    Help!

    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.

  • Can iPod touch 5g connect to an audio amplifier via lightning to 30 pin adaptor and through a 30 pin to RCA cable adaptor

    Can the iPod touch 5g connect to an audio amplifier via lightning to 30 pin adaptor and through a 30 pin to RCA cable adaptor? It works on the latest iPod nano but it doesn't on iPhone 6. I have spoken to the apple reseller sales personnel but he has no clue.

    If it works on the 7G Nano and does not on the iPhone 6 I would not expect it to work on the 5G iPod..
    Just what adopter are you talking about? Can you provide a link?

  • Logitech speaker S715i won't recharge my "ipad mini" using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter. Has anyone solved this problem?

    Everytime I connect my mini to the Logitech S715i or Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus speaker a pop-up appears telling me the iPad doesn't recognize the device and the battery symbol shows that it isn't loading. I am using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter.
    Is there a way to correct this so my speaker will act as a dock and load the iPad?
    Would love the help if you have the know how. Thanks!

    Since the last update I have noticed the percentage of battery power does increase when my iPad mini has been docked although the actually staus reported on the iPad screen while docked is 'not charging'. This is obviously an Apple recognization problem (not sure about third party as Apple is providing the software).
    Will not return my Logitech as it has excellent sound (speakers are higher watt then others in this price range), plus it has a built in battery which means I can take it on the terrace for tea in the afternoon.
    As pointed out it requires more power then the iPhone, it does take longer to charge, so in the future if I need a quicker charge I'll do it via a wall outlet.
    side note: This problem must also be why my iMac is shutting down all other USB devices when the iPad is plugged in.

  • Lightning to 30-pin Adapter works great with iPad Keyboard Dock

    In case anyone was wondering, the Lightnng to 30-pin Adapter works great with the original iPad Keyboard Dock and an iPhone 5. In fact it is better than the 4S was, as that tended to pop out. The Lightning adapter stays in place, and there is plenty of support in the back plastic to keep the iPhone in place, with any tiny stress happening at the Dock connector end: the Lightning connector itself seems very solid indeed. All the keys work, and charging is fine.
    (In answer to the implicit question: my employer blocks email at work on its systems, and it's convenient to have the keyboard hold the phone in place, and also charge it, which is the problem with the Bluetooth keyboard.)

    Might be a question better asked of the manufacturer of the iHome device.

  • My order stated my iphone 5 had the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m)

    When purchasing my iphone 5 I was told that the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) was included now the language on the site has been changed. Will apple honor it's original message when I purchased the phone?

    I am getting the same error. After a 30 minute drive each way to the Apple store, and not discovering the error until I got home, I am pretty upset. This is the reason we all buy genuine Apple accessories, so we don't have these kinds of warning messages and errors.
    Time to go back to the store and have a Genius actually plug the next adapter into the phone to be sure it works before I leave the store. Grrrr.
