I have a Itouch 5th generation. I only have a cigarette lighter in my car, but no USB or AV jack. Would that be okay?

Yes. You would plug the attached AV Jack to the headphone jack of the IPOD.

yes, it plugs into your iphone with a aux jack. then you just program it to the same radio station as your car radio. find a weak one so that it can get a clear signal.

I used it in my car, but the unit that it is connect to has another connection specific for iPods/iPhones. It works fine for storage devices so I think there should be a problem for what you may want to use it for

No. This is for your home. Or any where that a "cig lighter style outlet" is needed and not present. So lets say u have a car charger for ur cell phone. U could plug the cell charger into this device if it was plugged in say at home in the house.I use it for my portable xm radio that plugs into my boat/ car. Using this I can plug it in at home or anywhere else I travel for parties ect and dont have to find a car outlet.

The iPod touch 5th Gen has lightning connector you will NOT need an additional connector

No, it plugs into a USB port, so if you have one in your car or have a USB cigarette lighter adapter you can use it.

There are several options to charging a USB device other than a computer. Many stores carry car adapters that plug into your car's power point and converts it to 5V USB. There are also home devices that do the same.

I had to update my car stereo with one that has a MP3 jack. Without that MP3 jack my stereo couldn't play podcasts from my iPhone or music from my MP3 player (not necessarily iPod).

I really can't say for sure, I have a 2011. Things you would need would be the MB Media Interface (The iPod connector in the glove box) and the most updated software for your Entertainment system. This thing is not intuitive to set up so if you aren't a Techie it might be a challenge. There are some other simple BlueTooth streaming options that work well that use your AUX jack. These don't display on your Entertainment system though. Hope that helps. Feel free to contact me again if you have other questions.

You would need a USB cable with an iPod phone end. The output is 5volt 2 amp Check yo the power required by the iPod.

If you use a USB charger, then this will probably work for you. It has worked for my iPhone 4, and my friend used it for her phone (not sure what she has) without any problem. It just provides a jack in the front of the unit so that you don't need more than one cigarette lighter to provide a charger. (I'm lucky and have 3 cigarette lighter ports in my truck.)

Yes, the plastic insert they ship in the jack is useless for earlier Ipod, Itouch devices...took awhile to figure it out..also, the jack doesn't quite hold the Itouch steady so u might have to place a piece of stiff paper behind to keep it upright. After awhile it isn't needed as it works out finally.

I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to use a car charger that fits into your lighter. Amazon sells them. I've even see one at DollarTree. The cable that comes with the speaker has a usb connector.

If you have internet access and whatever else you need to play the music then yes. You can play music through the headphone jack on this though, the USB doesn't play the audio. Also, as long as your car has a radio and one of those cigarette lighter things you should be able to use it.

Yes. What's even better is you can get a $10 power converter that will convert that cigarette lighter into a usb power station, and you can now use this device in your car.

Yes. I was experiencing the same problem. This cable splits the USB (power and control) and RCA mini (audio), and runs them through a chip. You end up with fine audio through your vehicle, control over your iPod through the iDrive controls, and save $$ by not purchasing it through BMW. This product works great!

I don't think so. We bought this for an iPhone 4 and older itouch and my ipad2. Why they didn't have a standard 30 pin to USB is beyond me. This takes a 30 pin and splits it in to a USB and a subminiature stereo 3.5mm plug and its offset ay that you have to angle the plug. Really poor design by Kia.. I can find one for my iPhone 5

You may want to check with your local bmw dealer. Since it has the new plug style on the 5. It may not work. But since you have idrive, you may want to look under your passenger glove box, and see if there is a USB port, and if there is, you can actually download your ipod through that, and no need for it. . And as for your phone, you can Bluetooth your music through the system
