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.

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.

Yes. That will work. If the the iPod can talk to your receiver with a cable, it will work through the dock the same way. It only works with the older 30 pin iPods. Not the new lightning connector

It has the 30 pin so you may have to have an adapter.....I have my I-pad in a case and had to get a 30 pin extender for the dock to work without taking the shell off of my I-pad....extends about 3/4" and works great. Hope this helps...oh, and sounds pretty good to these old ears

You can use any ipod that has a 30pin connector. that would be Ipod Classics (all), Ipod Touch 1st gen-4th gen, Ipod Nano 1st gen-6th gen. The latest models (Touch 5th gen, Nano 7th gen) have Lightning connectors and would not work. You'd have to get an adaptor.

I am using it on an older 30 pin on a couple iHome speakers systems and it works well. I have an older generation JBL and Logitech speakers and I could not get it to work.

I was curious if this would work with the 3rd Gen iPod Touch myself, since I was looking for a good speaker dock that could go along with that. I've owned Logitech speakers in the past for my PC and HDTV, and wanted to see how well they would do with the newer iPod Touch units. I'm just as hopeful as you are that these will indeed be compatible and not let anyone down.

It should play and charge any model of iPod (or iPhone!) that features the 30-pin dock connector on the bottom of the device. The dock connector, if you're not sure, is a flat slot on the bottom panel of many iOS devices that measures about 20mm long and about 4mm wide. You know, the thing you plug your sync cable into. If your sync cable has a standard USB plug and a wider plug on the other, your iPod should work fine with this dock. If not, it's still a pretty good dock with nice sound quality and volume, and you can still use a simple auxiliary audio cable plugged into the iPod's headphone jack to play your music through this dock's speakers--you just won't be able to sit the device in the dock itself.

I bought this unit, based on the responses that the Ipod connector is the older 30-pin type. ITS NOT ! Its the new Lightning connector. So if you have an older Ipod (like I do) better find a different unit, or find an adpater. Because this one is absolutely the Lighting-type plug.

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!

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

its compatible with the older ipod and iPhone models. If you have a newer version of ipod touch or iPhone 5 and you want it to plug it directly into the dock you will need to get a 30 pin adapter.

Hi, S. Kessler. Maybe you can solve a problem for me. I received a ipod classic today, but I can't get it to set down on the dock. Tried adapter, but it won't fit either. Is there a trick to this or what?

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...

No, it is compatible with old iphone and ipod models ( those having a 30pin connection dock )

The docking is for the wider 32 pin config. If you have the newer thin 10 pin "lightning", you will need an adapter. If you do, some of the bargain one piece units work only for data and not audio. Also, if you use bumpers on your iPod, you will have to remove it in order to seat properly. I would suggest going with the apple cable adapter to avoid this issue. Hope this helps.

Who knows. Compatibility with this is shady at best. I still have never been able to get my iPod Classic to work!The extension might be a problem, because the unit closes, encasing the iPod.Try and return, that is my advise.
