I've got OLD iPod classic (1st gen?) and nice speaker dock I want to keep using. Will it work? How far back does the "30 pin" go?

The iPod Classic has the original 30-pin/dock-connector. The new iPods have the smaller Lightning connector.

If it does not have the 30 pin then I'm guessing you could get the adapter but will it sit properly in the dock.if not that would defeat the convenience of using the dock as a charger and stand together.other than that great sound and price.

Would say "no" --- first off, it does not work very well --- but the one I have only has the old 30-pin dock connector (older ipods)

This product will work with any of the older iPod products that have the "30 pin" connector, such as can be found on the iPod Classics series.

Thank you for considering Geneva. The older models with the iPod dock have a 30-pin dock. A lightening to 30 pin adaptor can be purchased separately to make this model Bluetooth compatible. The adapters can be found on Amazon or be purchased directly through Apple.

My iPod is old, not sure of the generation, but really old and it works with it. This speaker has the old pin size. Good luck!

The 30 pins refers to the connector where you normally attach the ipod to charge it. It will work on all the iPods with the 30 pin that is about an inch wide. I absolutely am amazed at the sound quality of this Pyle unit. You will not be disappointed.

Unfortunately it won't work if your iPod has the lightning connector. The docking station has a 30 pin connector. But you could get an adapter. I am going to get an adapter so that I can use the docking station with my iphone 5S, which also has the lightning connector. The docking station is great, and I want to keep using it!

Is your I pod a thirty pin docking. If not they also make adapters of different configuration that should make it compatible . I use these extensions so I can leave my I pod in its case. My son has this dock and he loves it. Carries it to locker room , and his hockey team listens to it before games.

You should be fine with the 30-pin adapter they are now selling. The 30-pin on the HK has enough movement to allow you to dock the iPod with the adapter connected...

You can't quote me on this but I've plugged a classic into the ipad cord from apple and it charged. So.... I think this would work. The connector size is the same. The only issue is the USB connector on the other end. Is the power supply the same? I think it should be the same voltage. The wattage wouldn't matter. The old Ipod classic didn't have a usb connector on the other end. The wire was permanently connected to the power brick. You could connect the USB end into a usb port on a computer for sure. Physically, the back brace seems to move back far enough for the thickness of a classic to fit into. Anyway, good luck with this. It's worth a try as Amazon has a great return policy. No questions asked except why are you returning it?

This speaker dock used the now-dated 30-pin connector. The newest iPods (all but the shuffle) have the new lightning connector. There is an adapter, but it would be awkward to use in a speaker dock.

If you're iPod 5 has a lightning connector it will not work. This has the old-style 30 pin connector. Thanks, Kent

With an Apple adaptar I guess so, because the iPod classic is a 30 pin, and the speaker is lighting

Don't know. I have a 3rd gen I Pod. The 30 pin works great as a hand held extension from my I Home dock.
