Will this device connect directly via bluetooth to your iphone, or do you need to have a separate nike+ device as a middleman?

I believe the heart rate monitor only syncs with the Nike+ watch and the Nike+ GPS watch requires a USB cord to hook up to a PC. By the way this is by far the best HR monitor I've owned & the GPS does a great job keeping track of pace and elevation for even 6+ hour cross country runs and bike rides. The Google maps of the workouts on Nike website has allowed me to find nearby trails I would have otherwise missed.

You need a regular auxiliary cord like you would use to plug your ipod into a stereo system or car radio. Both ends have identical input/output plugs. Put one end in the headphone plug of your ipod, the other in the aux. hole in the top of the treadmill console beside the slot for the nike device.

Okay, sorry for the delay, but I wanted to wait to see my iPhone6-carrying friend so I could pair his iP6 to my X3. What I did was, I went into Settings on his iP6, and selected Bluetooth. That makes the phone actively look for devices. Then, on my X3, I pressed the "Talk" button (NOT the PLAY button!) and held it until the device flashed "Talk" and "End" repeatedly. "Talk" is the BLUE PHONE button. When flashing, that means the device is attempting to pair with a specific phone. That took maybe five seconds. Once the phone showed "Connected", I pressed "play" and the music started. If this does not work, please email me back and we'll get it to work. iPhone6 may be a really cool phone, but at the end of the day, it's still just a phone like every other phone and should still pair with devices. BTW, once it's been successfully paired once, from then on, it should automatically pair whenever you turn on the device.

No, you can use any shoe you want -- but you need a way to secure the device to your shoe -- there are several third party pouches that attach to your shoelaces that will hold this device securely. And by the way, if you have an iPhone with iOS 6 or 7, you don't need the footpod devices in/on your shoe anymore! So don't buy this if you're using an iPhone with iOS 6 or 7: there's no need for it anymore. If you're using an iPod, then yes, you still need this device.

Keep trying LOL. Seriously, I had difficulty getting them to pair with my I pad and my I phone. They do have their peccadillos. Check the net for any variation for Windows 8. You do have to have the unit fully charged. Would not work for me otherwise. Once charged and connected, reconnects straight away. Mine absolutely will not connect if their is another bluetootlh device at hand which has been previously recognized by the unit. For example, they will not connect to my i pad if my i phone is at hand and the bluetooth is on. Let me know your experience as I am curious. When it flashes rapidly, it is trying to connect. Hold it a bit longer and see. Keep trying LOL. Seriously, I had difficulty getting them to pair with my I pad and my I phone. They do have their peccadillos.

It is not working with Nike+ App, but it works with Runtastic, Runkeeper, Endomondo, Sporttracker, Strave, MapMyFitness, Wahoo and so on.

It connects through the Bluetooth app on the ipad. Should only have to pair it once.

It works great with my iPhone 4S if that helps... Bluetooth or direct connect.

Yes, I have a iphone and ipod and they both work with this case and the Nike+ Sensor. Just put the sensor in the case and put in on your shoe laces and use the Nike+ app on iphone.

You can pair with multiple sources except everytime you want to connect one of your devices you have to open up your bluetooth setting and re-pair your devices. Its pretty annoying. We have 2 iphones connected to it and if my wife uses it in the shower it works great with her phone but when its my turn to take a shower and use my phone with the speaker i need to open up the bluetooth setting and select the speaker then press the bluetooth listen button on the speaker for my phone to work.

The one I received can only be connected to an iDevice or threw a device with Bluetooth.

Hello Bruce, I had the Nike+ Sportswatch GPS and needed a HRM to go with it. I just checked the Product Description here on Amazon and found the following:"Polar WearLink+ transmitter Nike+ picks up your heart's signals and transfers that data into the Nike+ system. The soft fabric chest strap seamlessly adapts to your body shape, bringing full freedom of movement to your training. With its hook mechanism, transmitter is just as quick to put on as it is to take off.Transfers heart rate information while swimming with products which support 5kHz transmission** FT1, FT2, FT4, FT7, FT40, FT60, FT80, RS100, RS300X, RS400, RCX5, CS100, CS200, CS300"so I guess it does work with the CS300 Hello Bruce, I had the Nike+ Sportswatch GPS and needed a HRM to go with it.

The JBL OnBeat Xtreme works well with all Bluetooth enabled devices; The iPone 5s is. Only problem that may arise is the compatibility of the connection system. For instance, I own an iPad Air, I can connect the two devices though bluetooth, but the physical connection of the two devices is impossible. JBL should propose an adapter.Innocent Gabriel DassanouKinshasa. DRC

I am on iOS devices but I simply turn it on, it shows up, and then from within the settings, bluetooth, menu of the device I select it and pair it. I will say a cople times I have turned it on and had a hard time pairing it, only to realize it was paired to a different device. Simply turning off the different device fixes it.

Yes. Of course it has no phone so the usual Bluetooth feature doesn't exist. But it does use Bluetooth for cordless headphones and a sensor that works with the Nike+ workout features.

I can't get mine to reliably remain paired with either my iPad nor my iPhone 5S. You need to do the pairing dance every time you use it. Also the microphone isn't on a long enough wire to prove useful. Sorry.

Yes. Bluetooth does not rely on specific platforms. You just need to turn on Bluetooth on your iPod, and have the speaker discover it's signal (just push power button down until you here a time). Very simple. Only problem w the speaker, I've found, is it's Bluetooth range seems short. My iPhone often needs to be in direct line and nearby, otherwise the signal gets lost.
