Works with Zune FM Tuner? Can anyone verify whether I can use the FM tuner on the Zune when it is docked in this system?

there is no way you can keep the headphones plugged into the Zune and connect it to the Kicker. the headphone jack is on the bottom of the Zune where it has to connect to the Kicker male post.

Jessica, unfortunately the Zune uses your headphones as the FM antenna, so if you are plugged into a dock, it's useless for FM. As soon as you plug a headphone in, you probably won't have sound from your kicker dock anymore. I found this out when I used my Zune alarm clock dock. My Zune would play through the alarm fine, but as soon as I plugged headphones in to make the FM Antenna, the sound ported through the headphones after that. Without anything plugged in to the headphone jack, it's like there is no FM antenna. Does your Zune have the headphone jack on top or bottom?Andy

Someone please help. I just bought my Zune 500 Kicker today. Sound quality is awesome. However, I can not get the radio (FM tuner) to play through the speakers. What am I doing wrong? I have even tried setting it to the FM tuner before docking it on the kicker and it still won't play the radio.

It depends on the zune model you have. My zune 120 has the headphone jack on top, so I could actually leave them in while it was plugged into a dock. Seems silly to me though to have to leave my headphones plugged in if I want to listen to FM radio. But it is true that Zune uses the headphone jack to get FM reception.

Yes, the FM tuner on the Zune works through the Kicker speakers. For good reception you must keep the headphones plugged into the Zune because it works as an antenna.

I do not have the Zune HD player but do have a 120GB player and use an AV HD dock connected to the Audi0/Video IN RCA ports on my sound system (home theater receiver). The dock is the newer HD dock but works fine on my older 120GM player. I simply select VIDEO 1 on my receiver and make sure to set the ZUNE Settings Display to be for TV.

No, the Zune is only compatible with Zune Software, which they are phasing out and now call X-Box Music. If I were you I wouldn't buy a Zune. If you have a smart phone, I would suggest using a music app and your phone as the MP3 player.

tune your car stereo to one of the stations you pick on the zune keypad, it broadcasts an fm signal directly to your car much like a radio station

Kevin, u got it wrong..It comes with a USB cable which will charge your player the moment you connect it to your PC :) Same goes for iPod..The charger that you see on the marketplace is IF you want to plug in the Zune to power socket.. :) While you are syncing your player, it will do the charging for you..isnt that just fine?

In my opinion the best thing about the Zune is the marketplace. You can subscribe and download a bunch of music for just the flat rate. Other than that they are pretty much the same. You can download stuff from limewire and add it to the Zune no problem just by linking where that program saves the files. The other problem with the zune is there are not alot of accessories for the product. That might change but if you go to the store the amount of products for Ipods especially if you want a radio that will be instantly compatible you have to go Ipod. I hate saying it because I'm now Zune all the way, I've even converted my wife to zune, but damn, every time I walk into the store I wish mine would be compatible with some of the boom boxes that are sold there. If you need any other info just let me know, I own a 80g Zune, an 8g and an old 30g. I know zunes.

I am not positive it will work with a Zune, but it seems like it would work with any device that has an earphone jack as that is what you plug it into. If Powerbeats are a Bluetooth, it is not the Powerbeats that are in question. It is whether or not the Zune has the earphone jack. The Zclever device comes with good/simple instructions. It worked great with my IPod Classic and Bluetooth headphones.

I could no say definitively. For my particular iPod, i have to use the aux input because the dock does not recognize my iPod. You may have to use the aux input without any reading on the display. IF your connections are solid, there should be no hum. Raise the volume level near to max on your Zune to get the best gain on the Yamaha when it is connected.

Hi D. Clemens... I didn't see a response to this, so I just wanted to give some assistance. The instruction manual on page 45 states that you can run pictures and music from any USB device. I did see some comment that the Zune MP3 player wasn't supported. Thanks,

If you have a newer iPod with built in bluetooth, yes. If you don't, you can buy a bluetooth module that plugs into the audio jack and pair with that (what I do for my Zune).

David,I've tried Handbrake and did get it to work but the Zune software had to reformat the Handbrake file. Do you have Handbrake working where you don't have to reformat the file with Zune? If yes, how did you set up Handbrake?Thanks

Unfortunately, the Zune HD is not 100% compatible with the speaker dock because it's not an Android phone. You may be able to hear the music play, but the buttons, remote, and charger won't work. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Keep in mind it has a universal 3.5mm audio cable port so with adapters it can be used with zune or ipod BUT you will need to buy these adapters it order to get it to work.

Thankyou for posting this info regarding the radio and remote will not work correctly with the HD Zune.I'll have to pass.Thanks again

Yes, it works. I have a 32GB HD that works on the ZK500. The skip forward/back buttons work on the remote, as do the volume up/down and the mute/power buttons. The menu button does not. This thing is awesome and definitely worth getting for your Zune.
