We just ordered this unit but don't have an iPod -- and there seem to be many choices. What model of iPod do we need to get (the less $$, the better).

If you can afford it buy the latest model iPod Touch. If not get the iPod Touch 4th generation (Please note that manufacture of this model has been discontinued by Apple) You can also use an Apple iPhone from the 4 or 4S up to the latest model to play music via 'Air Play'.

The unit works better with an older iPods with the wide multi-pin connectors than with the new narrow connectors. With the new iPods you have to get a converter (~$25) and some features will not work properly.

The Panasonic is equipped with a 30 pin connector for IPod, so if you get an older version ipod, it will work (not sure about shuffle). Avoid the new generation iPods that have the 8 pin lightening connector because if you connect the adapter, the Panasonic sliding door will not work. I have used a few different iPods, nano and classic and they work great. I also used my old iphone 4 and it worked great too.

iPod Classic? I'm afraid that won't work. The Classic line has no video out or other computing capabilities. It is just a media player.

I had the same problem and I tried everything I could think of and was never able to get my Ipod to work on this box. I ended up sending it back and I believe that the Apple Ipod was not compatible with this system. Good luck!

I do not have ipod. This model is very simple and old. I looked all around but could not see any output entry, only one for head phone. I do not think you can hook up an ipod to this machine.

Honestly we returned this only after having it installed for a day or two. It did not provide iPod features that we were looking for. I am really sorry I could not be more helpful =(

Try downloading the associated HDRadio app from the App Store, and see whether the software can be used with your iPod..

I bought the Zune 80 because I made the mistake of listening to the geek at best buy. I had the same problem with no tv or movies. I took it back the next day and exchanged it for the IPOD 80 after a little research.

Connect it to your computer. iTunes will come up and tell you what to do. If you don't have iTunes, you can download it for free. I always set my iPods up through iTunes and have never had a problem. When I come across things I don't know how to do, I just google it.

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

i'd go with the ipod classic if only music. even though it is very bulky you can get it for like 250 dollars and like 60+ gb which is more than enough

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

As soon as Amazon runs out of stock of the OS 2.xx iPod Touch, they should start stocking those with 3.0. Might be a while. I got mine long after OS 2.2.1 was released, and it came with OS 1.1 in it! By long, I mean many months.

Fussy About Clock Radios, If you are looking for an iPod that does not need headphones then I suggest looking out for an iPod Touch. As far as I know they are the only type of iPod that headphones are not a needed item, but the sound quality drops to only okay. iPod docks do have speakers. They also charge your iPod (depending on what type of dock). Some docks can even function as an alarm clock. I hope this helped. Godspeed! ~SWWPD

I think this is only for the iphone. You can check say Griffen.com and see if they have something for an iPod.

There is an audio input on the rear of this device. It looks to be about the size of a 3.5 mm plug, so I'm thinking you could input an ipod. Don't know what the quality of the sound would be, but it should be OK.
