How big is this clock? Is it compatible with the ipod nano 6G? Does it charge the ipod while playing music?

It is a small box. Not sure what compatible with. We use it with the iphone. Yes it charges while docked.

It's quite small. It has the old type (wide) Apple connector. Yes it does charge while playing.

ok, so allow me to edit my comments. it does charge the ipod touch 2g but for whatever reason you have to turn the unit on and off every time you connect it. slightly annoying, not a deal breaker. just remember to TURN DOWN the volume before you hit play. The default volume at first power on is obscenely high. i don't get buzz of any kind but my unit is not an iphone. also, the remote under regular (read : everyday) use eats through a battery in about 6 weeks. Luckily, the CR2025 battery that it takes can be found for under 50c a piece on the internet (google it). Overall, I think this is an ideal dock for an office as it does reasonably well with really low volumes which most docks don't do and it's an extremely small footprint.

Yes. I have an Ipod Nano 8 Gb and when I placed it in the Ipod Dock, it shows the charging battery signal on the Ipod upper right corner.

Yes, my IPod touch works. No problems, but if u don't care about the clock, I have a small Altec M102 from Amazon that provides better sound quality.

Hi Rodney. I'm afraid I can not definatively answer your question to the nano 6 gen, however, I can tell you that I'm using an iPod classic 30 pin and the BT device performs as advertised. If I may risk, I'd say that if your nano is a 30 pin Apple connector port you should be good. Let me know if you wouldn't mind. Thanks. Al

I just purchased this Cyber Acoustics Digital Docking Speaker for iPod for use with my 6th generation iPod nano. There were 3 docking inserts, but none of them was labeled for my iPod. I tried one of them and it was clearly incompatible. The enclosed instruction sheet told me to go to the Apple store to find the correct docking insert. They don't have one for the 6th generation nano. I was about to return the unit when I found this blog. As Margaret pointed out 14 months ago, the insert labeled "30G iPod with Video and 80G iPod classic" is perfect for the 6th generation nano, go figure. The nano also charges successfully. In case the paper label has fallen off the insert, it has the following embossed on it's bottom, "Classic(80G) video(30G)". Good sound and good product, just poor documentation.

Yes, it does work. I used to do that. One caveat is that this BT transmitter drains the battery of the 6th gen. iPod Nano quite fast. It seems that the battery of the 6G Nano isn't quite up to that high discharge rate (and high discharge rate deteriorates the battery). Eventually, my 6G Nano started to slow down while playing music (a sign that the battery isn't able to supply enough electricity) and so I had to give up the transmitter and switch to a wired earphone. Hope this helps.

Was able to solve my own question. Bought this and the Nano 6G, and they work prefectly together.

not that i recall on the earphone plug. that is an issue if you use a nano (square version). it has ust a usb mini input (not micro as found on most newer droids) for power. will also run off ipod battery if not plugged in to usb power. it works okay, you'll get static occasionally and driving from town to town it can get new interference as station freqs change. i swapped out for a direct interface for my car audio, sounds better and steering controls now work too. tschuss!

I just got this radio over the weekend and set it up in my office this morning. Its been charging my iphone 3GS all day without any issues. Works good for ipod playback also. The tagging feature also works pretty slick. The manual does say that if you turn the volume up to 25 or more (out of 30) that it will stop charging an ipod but I don't think I'm ever going to have it that loud here at work even with my door closed. Overall it is pretty finicky about antenna placement but once I got that right, the sound is great.

I want to get a FM transmitter/charger for my daughter's iPod nano 16gb. Am I reading correctly that this unit may not be compatible?

According to Griffin's website, this is not compatible with iPod nano 4th generation. Mine just arrived and I've yet to open the packaging, but the box shows compatible iPods and the nano 4g is not listed.

This depends entirely on the connection. The clock HAS an aux. input connection, however you will need a connecting cable and you will probably not have as many functions as when you mount an iPod into it's top connector. For example, it will not charge your android. I use it with my iPod and have not used it with my droid, so WHAT functions would work I can not say.

Hi, Im not sure. I have an apple ipod and it works great. If the spot where you would charge your nano is the same size as an iphone or ipod, then it may work. However, if its smaller, then I don't think so.

I used this exact product with my iPod Nano 6G for years. It worked great. I don't understand why other answer say otherwise. I now have a 7G Nano--only because I lost my 6G, and it's less expensive to get a 7G than the discontinued 6G--and I wish there was a comparable product for the 7G to be had.

You can use the headphone jack that conects the clock to the ipod, but it will not conect to the radio.
