My original sounddock charges my original ipod, and I don't want that to change. Is this the right product for me?

It does not work with my original Bose sounddock (sadly) and this is one of the reason I purchased it. It does work quite nicely with up-to-date docking products, including my son's tower speaker from Brookstone. If your speaker is compatible with an iPhone 4, it will work.

Yes, it uses the charging pins in the dock to charge its internal battery. Apple changed which pins supply power to its iPods several years ago, however, so docks built for the early generations of iPods will not charge this. It will play audio, but not charge, in older docks.

Haven't tried it on a Bose 30 pin sounddock. I may be able to try it on saturday but for now on a Sony ICF-C1iP it doesn't, as the Old Ipod touch model worked perfect.

just for the record, i owned one of these docks and a 2g ipod touch. It would play music just fine. It would not charge the ipod, so that made it just about useless for me.

Yes, I dock mine on this 24/7! It has been an awesome player with fantastic sound quality (and I am very particular about sound quality). Never needed to charge it via my computer. I also love the portability. I can move it from room to room with no cords. One thing though: I have an older iPod, but I'm not sure the connector is compatible with a newer iPod, so you might want to check that out, too.

Nope. This requires power from the SoundDock to work, so you would have to also buy another device, looks similiar to this one, that will supply power to the bluetooth receiver. Even then, the reception was sketchy and sound goes in and out. This does work for other devices that can supply power to it, but definetly not the 1st Gen SoundDock. My 3rd, and last, attempt to get the 1st Gen to go bluetooth is the Invebo innexis BC6 board.

The one I have is a couple of years old and does not include an adapter that allows me to play anything with the new smaller cord...like the Iphone 5. (Not sure if the 5 was out yet.) I did just purchase an adapter that should allow me to play these things but I have not yet tested it. If your Ipod uses the new cord and has the smaller docking port, be sure you confirm if Pyle has upgraded their technology.

Something is not right, I also have the IPod Touch, 4th generation...and I can play music from it through my Logitech S715i and charge as well.

If you are asking if the Music-to-Go package will include the new SoundDock that is compatible with the new 6-pin iPod Lighting Charge capability the answer it NO. This package includes the the SoundDock Portable System.

Help please! I want to buy this - today it is $252 - the older version. Will it play and charge my 80 GB iPod? Thanks

I plug my ipod classic into the rear USB, and the head unit controls it. It also keeps it charged. The front USB does not keep it charged.

probably no,t unless you use a 30 pin to lightning adapter. this thing came out back when apple was using the 30 pin connector. the adapter should let you charge. but if you want to play music you don't need the dock, just download the sonos app and enjoy

I say yes because they have changed but the ipods still have that same connection type at the bottom. Also if it does not fit in the dock it has an aux port so you can plug into the headphone jack

The speaker can natively handle the new connector only, but there is an AUX line in that could be used with any device. You could get an adapter for the dock portion, but it may not stay well, and no guarantee that it will be controllable by the native controls.

No... and yes. No, the dock is for the older style pre iPhone 5 connector. However, this dock broke on mine about a month after having it anyway. Oh, and the Phillips software is a joke. The good news is that if you find a refurbished one for $50 it's a good powered speaker. You just have to connect it to the headphone jack of your device.

Yes, I have an older Model Bose Dock that would only charge my old ipod or ipod nano pre iphone 4 connector. My Iphone 4s would plug in but not charge. This adapter works great with that version of my dock without any issues. love this device.
