Does this work with the Ipod 5th generation without needing an adaptor?

No. And you're better off getting a bluetooth speaker now. The batteries die quick, and it won't charge iPods when they're playing.

iPod and iPhone 5th gen will NOT work. This unit only accepts the connector type that is used for the iPod and iPhone 4th gen and earlier models.

It works fine with mine, but I do not have the latest ipod connections. My wife bought a new one the plug is different.

No it doesn't. All you need to do is remove the little piece to attach for the iPod and plug it into itself and use a USB plug

If you are using the ear pods that come with the iPhone an adapter is not needed.

Since the iPhone 5 has a completely different connector from previous iPhone and iPods, you would need to purchase an adapter for this to work with the iPhone 5. It works with iPhones up through the 4s without an extra adapter. Also note that if you have the iPhone in a case, it would not fit in the dock anyway

I'm technologically challenged so please bear with me. Most of these answers sound like yes, it works with an iphone 5 without requiring any other equipment, but Teresa says you need a 30-pin to lightning adapter. Do I?

This cable will not work, since the ipod touch 5th generation requires a Lightning connector instead of the original iPod/iPad connector... You would have to find an A/V cable that supports the new connector.

Yes, works great with my iPod classic as well. It also works with the 5th gen.

No it can not be used with the iPhone 5 without a special adaptor. Not sure about the iPad.

It won't plug in directly since iPod 5th gen uses the new "Lightning" dock connector whereas this radio has the older-style 30-pin dock connector. Apple sells a "Lightning to 30-pin Adapter" for $30 which will probably fit OK in this radio but the iPod will lean back, supported only by the plug on the bottom. Maybe not the best combination.

Yes - it may come out of the box with an adapter over the plug that would appear to be for a stereo hookup, but this screws right off to allow for the standard headphone plug. Works with the iPod just fine

Your Ipod will work without buying additional equipment. The unit was designed to interface with Apple products.

Not sure about an iPhone, but it works with my daughters iPod. And yes, you need an adaptor, but found one on Amazon for cheep! It is a little awkward and leans a little, but it works.

Yes, you can with an adapter. Just plug the adapter cord into the ipod hole. The 5th generation ipod doesn't fit only the 4th generation, so use same cord as you would for that.

Yes - it's the adapter that matters, and this works with the same 30-pin adapter that has been used from the original iPod Touch all the way through the 4S. And as Mitchell commented, you could even use the iPod/iPhone 5 with it, but the connection would be precarious (and goofy looking).Hope this helps!

I'm afraid I had the same problem, a 5th generation iPod that fits into the adapter that wasn't recognized. I never got it to work. I ended up having to get a refurbished 6th generation iPod, which does work.

No. It comes with clear adaptor base "plates" to accomodate previous generations and ipods, but not for the iphone 5 ..... sorry. I prefer having a seperate ipod and keeping my iphone 5 free to use at any moment ..... even with the added ipod $249 expense.
