Can I use my own micro-USB charging cable (hard-wired via A-pillar) to power the dock itself? Or is the dock's charging feed permanently attached?

The dock has an input for a mini USB on the back ,,then the cable that goes to the phone comes out of the dock

Yes, I think? Not sure what A-pillar means. There's a standard micro-usb port on the back of the dock. the dock-to-phone part is micro 3.0.

Only if you use a separate charging cable for one of the two. It can't dock two at once.

I haven't used the dock with it connected physically to a speaker, only with my phone connected to a speaker or headphone by bluetooth. There's no problem using it while charging under those conditions.

I don't see how it could, that said. Your pc will charge it, so you shouldn't need the dock when it's connected to the pc.

No, it does not. You have to connect one USB cable to use the dock, if you want to charge the laptop you have to connect the charger separately.

No. Furthermore, both the dock and the tablet itself are VERY finicky regarding the power supply. Lenovo products are anyway, in general, but these in particular. The only charging option is the charger and cord that came with the tablet itself. Nothing else works, including chargers / cords from other Lenovo tablets (I have a Lenovo Android tablet as well). Take care of that tablet power cord, cuz you're out of luck if it goes south on you.

No, and Yes. No because it won't fit on dock directly having a micro USB port on the side. Yes, if you want to use cable to connect dock with BB.

Yes a cable for each section of the dock and that cable needs to plug into a charger (1 each or 1 charger with 2 USB ports).

NO, most of the USED docks do NOT come with a power adapter. I purchased used and had to buy it separately. The NEW docks however do come with the adapter.

The power cable runs to the dock. The dock has a small wire that connects to phone.

NO, which is crap and greed from iRobot. You have to purchase an $80 item that is all but required to get the thing dry. The dock is a simple piece of plastic with two charging points on it. It is crap that this is not included and is $80. I would guess it costs the Mfg. about $10 to produce.

Hi - No dock. A chip is embedded in the case. The chip works with my Powermat (and other such devices). The Powermat is NOT included.

Yes, you can still charge the phone while in the dock since the phone is held horizontally.

The port on the dock itself is a Lightning port (there's also a headphone jack). You'll need a USB A to Lightning cable (not included).

Unfortunately, no... the dock is designed to securely hold the device's exact dimensions only. Any case the phone is in must be removed before you can place it in the dock. This is especially important because even if you could successfully force the device into the dock, while in a protective case, the permanently-mounted connector which provides power (for charging), can optionally deliver audio to an external device (your car stereo) and, most importantly, activates the vehicle dock home screen and it's associated features, will no longer line up, and so would not connect.

Hi Jeffrey! The dock come with a USB cord that plugs in the back of the dock and that has a plug that goes into a wall outlet. It's not pictured here, obviously. I hope I have answered your question :) Thanks for asking!

Hey there... Yes, you can use it while it's connected to the power outlet. It doesn't have a dock station.-
