Sony clock-radio docking station not compitable after 2.2.1 upgarde

After upgrading both my iPhones to 2.2.1, my Sony clock-radio docking station (icf-c1ipmk2)does not work with the iPhone anymore. The unit is made for iPhone and worked without any issues until the 2.2.1 upgrade.
Now every time I place the iPhone in the docking station, I get the following message on the iPhone:
"This accessory is not made to work with iPhone."
With the option to start in Airplane mode.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there any solution to this?

Just FYI i have the next generation of Sony clock Radio ICF-CD3i(the round one with the pop out dock) and guess what "This accessorie not campatible with iPhone" though i can quite past the warning message then it works fine. The interesting part is i tried it out on another one at the shop at time of purchase and it worked fine. So long and short going to return it get another one see if that works. Just seems like Sony (Love there products not bagging them)need to put more work into working out the compatibility from their end

IPod touch not working with Sony clock radio.

iPod 4th gen won't play music through new Sony clock radio. It charges but won't play or control music. Works with 2 iPhones tested but not touch. Yes I am using the correct adapters, universal for iPod and the different ones for phones.

Does Sony say it will work with yur model iPod and iOS?
Do the phones have the same iOS?
Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
Does the iPod sync and charge OK?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
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.
Other uses have reported problems with Sony docks. Use the communities search feature in the upper right and search for Sony. Use the advance search to restrict search to the iPod touch forum

Iphone not charging with iHome or Sony clock radio

OK, a little off topic. My iphone charges fine with a wall outlet or USB port connected to my computer. I bought a Sony clock radio (iphone compatible) and the phone won't charge in the dock. I took it back and got an iHome model (again iphone compatible) and it won't change there either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Before you take it back, give iHome's service department a call and see if they have any suggestions.

My Sony icf-cs15ip docking station won't play music ,

My Sony ICF-CS15iP docking station won't play music from my iPhone 4s which is on iOS 7 but it will play my music from my old iPod touch, can anyone help me with a fix or let me know if I'll just have to get a new docking station, thanks in advance!

@Gscott1979, I had the same problem with both my ICF-CS15iP docking stations I have and was ready to throw them out the window.
Finally after almost 2 years using them just as a charging station I found the solution that worked for me.
And the solution could not be any simpler........ use the reset button on the bottom of the docking station. It is a small hole between the battery latch and the screw next to it. Just a paperclip will do.

Are any iphone 5 fm radio docking stations that let you leave the protective case on phone

Are any I phone 5 fm radio docking stations available that I can leave my protective case on phone while charging

Hey braswell4AU: I have a similar issue. I purchased 2 iPhone 5's the first day they came out. Black 64gb for myself and white 32gb for my wife. She is having somewhat the same issues as you have. Wifi is weak and keeps dropping the signal, and also her phone almost never has LTE. And we are in a very strong Verizon LTE area in north Los Angeles county. My phone has never had any signal issues, wifi or LTE. I have been researching the issue to no avail. I though maybe the white with the brushed alluminum may cause signal issues, but haven't found anything on that and posts about the black one haven't problems blew that theory up.
    I have also changed the SIM card and the phone itself and still the same problem. I saw a post about someone getting their phone swapped out and the apple rep told him not to restore the phone, but to just set it up as new. I have yet to try it, gonna try this weekend.. But it makes sense! I, like you have 6 apple devices (2 iPhone 5's, 2 iPhone 4's apple tv3, and the ipad3) and have no issues running all my devices via router.
     So I am thinking about the history of the restores and backups and my wife is the only one that went from the 4 to the 5.. Every other device was setup as new. So my theory is that he iphone 5 has issues when you restore from previous backups.. Maybe something a little different from the backups of the previous models create issues in the iPhone 5's?
     Like I said, I'm going to give it a shot this weekend and see what happens. If you get a chance to try this before, please let me know if it works and if I try before you I will update you.
    Good luck and hopefully we can get these wonderful phones working like they should!

Radio Fm in not functioning after upgarding firm w...

Hi,
radio Fm in not functioning after upgarding firm ware 410.21.010
please help to solve it

I am not aware of any "on-device" or native OS FM radio functions. Perhaps it has yet to be implemented, or awaiting a third party to develop an app to use it?
I'd love to have it functional also!

Phone Adapter for Sony Clock Radio

I recently purchased a Sony model ICF-C8WM clock radio along with a walkman player. Since both docking connectors are exposed when I am using the Walkman device, I would also like to take advantage of the phone dock. I would switch my phone to a Sony Ericsson except for the fact that your brand of phone is not produced for the Verizon Wireless network. Is there some type of adapter device available that would allow me to couple my LG phone with the phone dock? I know this is a tough one but I just wondered if you know of such a device. Thanks. A. Sirull

Thank you for your post.
Unfortunately, there is no optional adapter that will connect a none Sony Ericsson Phones to the Speaker Dock Clock.

ICF-C05iP Fm clock radio/dock

I received this item as a gift for Christmas and it worked great until 2 weeks ago. For some reason it will charge but it won't play the music from my iPhone 4S thru the speakers anymore. I usually would listen to an audiobook at night while falling asleep. I tried turning both off and trying again but still the same issue. The dock doesn't appear to be broken when looking at it plus it still lets me charge it. How can I fix it? I'm also thinking of upgrading my phone soon, will there be an adapter for the iPhone 5?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Check if there is a new update (software/firmware) available for the iPhone device.
Try doing the following steps and check if it helps:
On the Sony docking system:
Unplug the power cord.
Wait approximately 10 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the AC power outlet.
On the iPhone:
Hold down both the Home and the Lock button at the same time.
Wait approximately 10 seconds until the power on the unit turns off.
Turn the power back on by holding down either the Home or the Lock button.
Also, try playing music from a different compatible iPod/iPhone (https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/33615/c/65%2C66/kw/33615) to verify if the issue is with your iPhone 4S.
Sony has not yet tested iPhone5 with the Clock Radios as it has only been released recently. Moreover, the connector of the iPhone5 is different from that of the previous versions of iPhone. Therefore, you need to contact Apple support to check for availability of an adaptor. The name of the connector on iPhone5 is Lightning port.

Docking Station NOT Protecting Droid From Heat On Road Trips

I use my Droid as GPS on road trips and always use my docking station. On a recent 5 hour road trip in Florida my Droid lost GPS function because of the heat. The holding unit on the Docking station exposes the Droid to the heat coming through the windshield. Any news on a redesign of the docking station to address heat concerns for thee DROID.

Not sure if you want to spend more money, but there is a really nice "dock" that actually connects to the air Vent - thereby keeping the DROID X very very cool while running GPS. It is called the "GOMADIC" and can be found on Amazon.com ...After much consideration and looking at various DOCKS, I chose that one - and recently drove 9 hours with GPS on the entire time, navaigation, email, pandora ... not 1 single reboot due to heat.
Let me know if you can't find the product.

X201 with Docking station not able to connect to Samsung Monitor

When the Samsung (SyncMaster 2053BW) VGA connect directly to X201, the monitor works fine. When the Samsung VGA connect thru docking, Monitor is blank. Why?

hey alin0902,
hard to say why. have you tested the Samsung with another laptop that has a docking station ? does it work? or does it work only if the Samsung is connected directly into the other laptop ?
if it does not work with a different laptop that is docked, we suggest contacting Samsung for assistance.
if it does work, while being docked.. what you could do is to uninstall the current video driver of your X201. let windows install its own generic driver.
once done, dock the unit and try again.

Compatibility with clock radio dock

The clock radio I want (iHome iH8) says "Not compatible with 3rd generation or earlier iPods". My 8GB iPod nano is only 6 months old - How do I know if it is "3rd Generation." If it is, do you have any advise on finding products that ARE compatible?

Oh my gods! Now I understand. I am just so new to and ignorant of iPods that I didn't realize that 3rd Generation iPod is not the same as 3rd Generation Nano iPod. It makes so much more sense now! Furthermore, it means I will soon have exactly the product I want. Thank you so, so much for the quick reply on understanding where my confusion lie.

T400 Docking station not a secure lock down.

There is a rash of theft currently where I work. It seems that the docking station will release a laptop even though it is locked down. I am wondering if the cable lock should attach to the laptop instead of the docking station. That will be a pain to do with as many meetings that we go to.
Has anyone else seen this problem or know of a better solution? Is there a known problem with a mechanical issue with the dock station? Other then the obvious of installing cameras.

If security is a concern, I would lock the laptop instead of the docking station. From what I understand, when you lock a docking station, it prevents the mechanical arms on the pad from allowing the laptop to be removed; however, these mechanical arms (plus the docking station locking mechanism) provide nowhere near the security that a Kensington-style lock does. For maximum protection, I would recommend locking BOTH the docking station and the laptop with a flat key or combination computer lock (dual/twin-headed locks are available). A final note - a thief will probably be much more reluctant to rip out the lock from the computer than the docking station.

Gojo docking station not supported anymore

I owned a goji docking stations for 4 months with no problems, but the other day every time i plug in my iphone5 or my wife it keep saying that is not supported and he won't work or charge.

Try cleaning out the charging port of your iPhone.

Problems playing music on Sony ICF-C1iP docking station

Had this docking station a couple of years and it's great, but since i downloaded the latest i-tunes on Friday I can't play music through it with my i-phone (but my phone still charges and an old old i-pod still works) - has anyone else had problems, is it anything to do with the update or not, any ideas?

Downloaded i-phone 4.1 at it seems to have resolved the issue.
