iPod Nano 5th Generation compatible? Does anyone know if this JBL Speaker Dock is compatible with the newest model of the Apple iPod Nano, the 5th Generation?

According to the Apple experts NONE of the new iPods (the ones with the USB connections rather than the firewire connections) will charge with current JBL docked speaker systems. They will play, but not charge. (as of June 2010)

Both of these work with the newest iPods for a similar price - will both play AND charge:http://store.apple.com/us/product/H0680VC/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY (iHome iA% app-Enhanced Alarm Clock)http://store.apple.com/us/product/TX391ZM/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY (Philips SBD7500 Portable Speaker Dock)Hope that helps. ;)

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.

Hi Corinna, I was asked by Amazon to help try to answer your question. First let me tell you that this speaker ROCKS. I love it. I was thinking about getting another one just incase something happens to the one I have now. I am not sure with the IPOD or IPAD but I have the Iphone 5S and I bought the adapter on Ebay to take it from the 4th generation to the 5th and it works perfect. You will not be disappointed in the speaker PLUS it is bluetooth so in all honesty you should not even need an adapter

The Pyle PIDOCK1 will charge any iPod that doesn't have the "Lightning" interface. your 5th gen iPod Nano will charge perfectly. I have a 5th gen Nano on my dock as I write this. Charges great ! Hope this helps.. thanks.

Yes, it is possible to play your 7th generation Nano through this speaker system, but you won't be able to use the docking feature in the front since it is designed to only accommodate the older style iPods & iPhones with the 30-pin connection. However, you can play your newer iPod, iPhone along with other MP3 players and Android phones using a 3.5 mm male-to-male connector, which connects to the unit via the 3.5 mm jack in the back of the unit. The only downside to this is that your device won't be able to charge while playing like it would if it could be docked with the unit. However, in the case of my 7th generation iPod Nano, it seems to hold a charge for considerably longer than my older iPod Nano, so that isn't really a major drawback...

Hi Jeff, the short answer is no, this will not be compatible with an iPod touch 5th generation. The 5th gen uses a lightning connector rather than a classic 30 pin connector featured on this dock. However, you could play your ipod through the auxiliary line and charge it with a lightning cable into the usb port, but you wouldn't be able to use the alarm feature etc.

the dock is not compatible with iPod5 (old connector) but there is an AUX IN that you could use to hook up.

It is compatible with generation 5 per its specifications. It is designed exclusively for the iPod and works with multiple generations. It works with my iPad and other devices, too, using a standard 3.5 mm audio cord.

Yes! I own the 5th generation iPod and it is compatible with the speakers (I have two sets of iCrystal speakers). The speakers unfortunately don't always work if the batteries are fully charged though. I recommend using the power adapter, or slightly drained batteries.

Yes is compatible with iPod touch first generation. But mine speaker stoped working after 6 months.

The users manual states that this system is compatible with the iPod touch 1st & 2nd gen models. I tried it with my 4 gen model and it does not work. Too bad because the system sounds wonderful. Anybody else have this issue?

Hi Sam. You can connect the iPod nano (6th generation) since it is using the same 30-pin dock connector.

Hello Emily Scott, this Sony Portable Speaker Dock uses Lightning connector (8 pins) and are compatible with iPhone 5, iPod touch (5th generation) and iPod nano (7th generation). Your 1st gen iPod is not compatible with this device (uses 30 pin connector). -Ely

No. The 5th generation iPod uses the small "Lightning" connector. This dock uses the old 30-pin connector. It might work with an adapter, but I haven't tried that.

Hello,No way..it must be either dock connection or Bluetooth or headphone cable connection.... your ipod should have 30 pin connection..just place it onto the sliding iPhone/iPod dock of the JBL that's it... but if you wish to use it with Bluetooth you can buy a small Bluetooth adapter for your iPod and than it works perfectly..Take care..

I didn't have the best answer for this when asked a few weeks ago. Now I have a new iPod Touch Gen5 and can answer it better. As the stereo unit is, the iPod is not compatable. It has a totally new connection, HOWEVER...you can get an adapter that will let the Gen 5 iPods and phones work with the earlier version connections. There are a lot out there...some are junk though. (do your homework before buying one) It's a simple plug in.

I believe that this dock is compatible with most iPods. I have a fourth generation iPod and it works great on this dock. Definitely worth the money.
