Volkswagen iPod dock compatibility

I have a VW iPod dock in the armrest of my VW Golf, which works fine with an original iPod nano, and came with a variety of dock adapters.
Anyone know if this would be compatible with the iPhone - I can't find any info on the VW sites.
I see someone has one in their Jetta and it works:

10GB iPod - dock compatibility?

I have an old 10 gig iPod, and recently my charger plug broke and died. I just looked on the apple websites to discover these docks... I was wondering..will my old 10gig iPod (with the four buttons under the screen and the wheel below them) be compatible if I buy a dock from the apple store? Thanks.

Hi Zeefor!
Yor iPod (3rd Gen.) is compatibly with Apples iPod Dock! : )

IPod Classic 7th Gen Docking Compatability

I have a brand new iPod Classic 160GB with latest software version (2.0.5 PC) that is barely a week old. I have been trying unsuccessfully to get it to work properly on both the NAD VISO 1 speaker dock and the B&W Zeppelin Air (both also brand new - purchased for the iPod). The iPod docks OK with both, but the playback doesn't work properly with either one and it's frustrating the $@!^*!! out of me.
VISO 1: I have the latest firmware version on the unit and have been in contact with NAD. After confirming that I have latest firmware, they decided the unit was defective so I returned it for a brand new replacement. The replacement has the latest firmware as well and behaves the same way. The iPod will play back normally for awhile (length of normal playback is very variable) but eventually when it come to the end of a song, it just stops playing. The iPod screen still show's the unit in "play" mode, but there is no progress on the song time bar (stays at 0:00) as if it was paused. When this happens, the unit no longer responds to the remote. I can manually pause/play the iPod directly, but it does not progress. If I undock the iPod with it still showing "play" it immediately begins playing once disconnected from the NAD. Re-docking it causes it to freeze in place again. The only way to recover the NAD is to power cycle it. Once power cycled it will play normally for awhile before locking up again - as frequently as after every song. I have an older iPod Classic 80GB running firmware 1.1.2 (which is the latest for that unit) which behaves exactly the same way as the newer iPod on the VISO.
It seems highly unlikely that 2 separate brand new units would be defective in an identical fashion and seems more like a compatibility problem. I offered to communicate directly with the engineers so they could look at it and hopefully make a firmware fix, but according to NAD, the engineers tested a 160GB iPod there and were unable to reproduce the behavior. The NAD sounds great and I really want to make it work, but I can't accept it if this can't be fixed.
B&W Zeppelin Air: Decided to try the B&W since the NAD doesn't want to work right. First thing I did was upgrade it to latest firmware. Could not get it to play with the iPod at all. It connected (battery icon showed it as plugged in) but wouldn't play. I could start play manually on the iPod - and unlike the NAD it WOULD begin playing, but no sound came from the speaker. I tried with the older iPod, and it played perfectly - and sounds outrageously good too. I went back to the 160GB and still couldn't get it to play. After some trial and error, I finally discovered that if I skipped forward or backward a couple tracks, it would finally completely connect and begin playing - but the playback speed is slow. Being the holiday, I have yet to hear back from B&W.
I'm very frustrated. Both of the units sound amazing when they play, but if I can't get them to work right they are worthless.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sorry, not much expert here on SSD mods, you may get better response in the iPod Mod forum.
It has a lot of posts on successful SSD swaps and also some nasty experience on SSD which does not work on some iPod.
Read through the forum and learn together with them, and avoid frustration of getting an expensive SSD, which the iPod firmware can't recognise, and also there is not enough voltage to power up those old SSD using 5volt rails, iPod hardisk uses 3.3volts rails.
Good Luck!.

Old 15GB IPod & Apple Universal Dock Compatability

Hi,
I own the very old 15GB Ipod. I think its 3rd generation but I am not sure about that! I think this is it.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iPod-15GB-Generation-M9460B/dp/B0001AE42Y
I want to buy the apple universal dock (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MB1 25G/A) so that I can hook it up to my amplifier & charge it at the same time, but when I check to see if it is compatble, it says that the 5th gen ipod is compatable, with no mention of the 3rd gen ipod.
I went to the apple store in London & a sales person told me that it "SHOULD" be compatable. Please can you let me know before I buy it.
Thanks

You need this component.

Ipod Nano Compatibility with Ipod Universal Dock and Remote

I have an 8GB Black 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I want to connect it to my stereo. I was told that the Apple Ipod Universal Dock would be a good solution.
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=6C0 4E07A&nplm=MA045G/C
The website says that it is compatible with my nano, so no big deal right? I just wanted to make sure it would work fine with my iPod nano before I went and bought one. Does it come with the AV cable to connect the dock to my stereo / tv? DOes the dock have a graphical menu interface like some of the third party docks/remotes have?
Also, will the Apple Ipod Remote work with the universal dock?
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=BB5 E48CD&nplm=MA128G/A
The apple store website says that everything will be compatible, but I wanted confirmation from someone who has actually owned this or knows about this.
Can you offer any better docks/remotes ideas?

I was looking at the review CNET had for that Kensington dock.
http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-player-accessories/kensington-entertainment-dock-500 /4505-6519_7-31631868.html?tag=uolst
I had a question about part of the review though, I am not sure I am understanding it correctly.
"We were impressed by the remote's ability to take control of our iPod; most of the third-party iPod-dock remotes we've seen only pause the music or video, skip tracks, and adjust the volume, not browse the menus. That said, the Entertainment Dock still isn't perfect. When you navigate the menus, your TV screen will be blank, so you must rely on the iPod's screen for your visual cues. Our other gripe is that the remote seems cheaply designed: The buttons on our review model looked misaligned (if usable), while the battery cover was annoyingly difficult to pry open. We got about 30 feet of range from the remote, which is more than adequate for most living rooms."
So this means that even though the remote can navigate the menus on the iPod, you wont be able to see what you are doing unless you go to the screen of your iPod?

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

Hi, Just wondering whether the iPod Classic 3rd generation is compatible with current iPod docks. Thanks

Sony TDM-IP1 iPod dock and iPod Classic

I'm interested in getting the Sony TDM-IP1 iPod dock to go with my sony AV receiver, but I need to know if it'll be compatible with my 80GB iPod classic. I checked the manual on Sony's site, and it says it's compatible with the 5G iPod video, but I think the manual was written before the classic came out. I also contacted Sony customer support, and they said that they haven't done testing on it's compatibility with the iPod classic. So does anyone know if this will work or not (both video and audio)?

I found the following comments on Amazon:
+iSeries Rules says:+
+Ok, so I took the time to talk to Sony (2 hours on the phone) and Apple (1 hour on the phone) about this.+
+Sony tell me that the iPod classic has the same specifications for the connection port as the iPod 5th gen Video. So, they believe that the problem is in the iPod classic's firmware. They did say that they were going to get their engineer's to look at connecting a classic up to see why it is not working.+
+So, the Apple story. Apple looked at this and said that the classic's video out was slightly different than the 5th gen. But, after looking at it a little more closely, and looking at some of the products that Apple sell for similar functionality (video out to TV/Receiver), they then started to feel that there may be an issue with the hardware/firmware. They also indicated that they had received reports of the classic working with similar products, and then failing to work after a recent firmware upgrade.+
+Apple also indicated that they would contact their engineers regarding the connection to the Sony Digital Media port, and give reasons as to why it is not working, and whether there is some way to make it work.+
+I should hear back within the next few days (given that tomorrow is friday, it may be early next week).+
+Hopefully this matter will be resolved by a firmware update.+
+What was really dissapointing was I plugged in my friends 5th gen, and it worked a charm. So it can work...+

S-video output does not work with iOS5.1.1 via ipod dock

Anyone else experience same problem?

I have the same issue with my iHome iW1 AirPlay. After updating both my iPhone 3gs and ipad 3, it cannot use my iW1 with airplay. Also when I plug one of my iOs device to the iW1 I get the infamous "Charging is not supported with this accesory"....
Anyone got a workaround?

My iPod touch 3rd generation won't play on my iPod dock when the alarm I set goes off. It plays normally and charges, but it won't work with the alarm. Could it be the iPod dock or my iPod?

My iPod touch just recently started doing this: I plug it in to my Sony iPod dock/alarm clock/radio. It charges fine and plays music fine, but when I set the alarm for it to go off, it doesn't go off. I can see that the dock is indicating that the alarm is going off, but the iPod isn't playing music. Could it be my iPod or the dock?
Also, there were 2 times when I plugged in my iPod to charge (once with a wall charger and once with the dock) and it said that it was fully charged. But it wasn't fully charged. I bought one of those iPod wall chargers from Target. It's not an Apple charger, but it is for iPods. Could it be that?
I'm going to try to reset my iPod and see if that helps any.

I have contacted apple support and Bose support. When I have heard back will post for everyone. I do encourage everyone to contact both companies until we get an answer to hopefully solve this issue. The more people who contact them about the issue, maybe the better chance they will help fix the issue.

ITunes 7.1 and iPod dock problems

Apparently there are cases of iTunes 7.1 doing some widespread and different things, not all entirely related. In many cases the problems can be fixed if you disconnect your iPod dock, if you have one. I had my Shuffle dock (and iPod) plugged in and iTunes just wouldn't start. I was working wirelessly tonight and just thought I would try again and it opened really fast. Then I found several threads here about this sort of thing. So if you are having problems with this upgrade as I have try unplugging your iPod first then launch iTunes.

You have to restore back (or uninstall/resinstall) to a prior version of iTunes. 7.0.2 works fine.

3rg gen ipod dock connector not working with new imac on leopard 10.5.1

Recently found that my 3rd gen ipod is not working properly when i connect it using its dock. itunes just freezes and comes out with some "disk insertion error". however, when i don't use the dock and connect the ipod to the imac directly using its own firewire cable, everything is ok and working properly.
it seems to be the ipod dock that is the problem. but am wondering why wouldn't it work? any ideas? I'd still like to be able to use the ipod dock...
thanks.

ipodaid.page.tl go there, he got my iPod fixed.

IPod (dock connector) stuck in disk mode

i just replaced the HD on my iPod(dock connector)and now it stuck on disk mode. i tried to reset but it showed a folder with an exclaimation point and went back to disk mode flashing the "do not" symbol and "do not disconnect". it don't show up on my PC or my iTunes. HELP!

That's super odd. It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Is there a way to hookup shuffle to standard iPod dock connector?

I just got a brand new shuffle, looks real sharp and easy to use, it's my first one since I sold my 1st gen iPod Touch years ago. At that time, I hooked up an adapter (using standard dock connector) to my car's stereo system, through the back of it (not through an option for the car's stereo). So I have a cable (standard iPod dock connector) in my car to hook up to an iPod; I had to control the songs from the iPod itself and usually just kept it on shuffle, and set the stereo to a certain mode for it to be played through the speakers. I wasn't aware until my shuffle came that the dock connector just uses the same 3.5mm jack as the headphones. Is there an adapter to use a standard dock connector for hooking the shuffle to the various iPod accessories (boom boxes/stereos) and therefore, my car's stereo?

Are you sure the three-way power switch is set to shuffle? The middle position is play-in-order, so the shuffle plays the list in the same playlist order (or alphabetical order if using the All Songs list).
If the power switch is in the shuffle position, to re-shuffle the list, move it to the middle position and them move it back to the shuffle position.

Ipod nano updated with latest software will not play or charge on ipod dock

My ipod nano generation 4 is updated with the latest software version 1.0.4
It was playing and charging fine on my ipod docking station until the update.
Now however the ipod is unresponsive on the dock. neither charging or playing. I have tried it charging on the cord and playing on my headphones no issues.
any thoughts?

Hi tj.coventry,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPod nano. If it continues to be unresponsive, you may find the steps outlined in the following Troubleshooting Assistant helpful:
