I bought this HT-6370W in early 2012. The receiver has a cradle for ipods. Hoever, I realized that this cradle will not work for newer IPODS.. is there a way to enable bluetooth on this or to buy a cradle that will work for newer IPODS/IPHONES ?

My wife has an iPod 5 and we use a 30 pin to lightning adaptor on the cradle (which you can get here for $25). It's just like using an older pre-lightening iDevice. No issues whatsoever....

This is only a bluetooth receiver, you need to purchase a bluetooth transmitter to allow your I pod to communicate with your speaker. (WRONG PRODUCT)

I'd like to know the answer to this too. Has anyone tried it? I'm afraid to upgrade to the ipod touch 4g unless/until I know if it will work with my iGroove SXT speaker system. Please advise. Thanks in advance. :)

I use the Bluetooth feature all the time. It works seamlessly with my iPhone. Just pair your phone with the receiver once, then whenever you want to listen to audio from your iPhone change the source to Bluetooth. Works for any audio your iPhone plays: music, audio books, audio from videos. Also it works pretty well for phone calls.

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 have been using iPhone with BT to access the phone. It will likely do any phone I also have an android phone for work but did not hook it up. I have tried to play music via USB which is not in Andoid per my research. That is also gone in new Apple software. I use an old iPad or classic to go through usb to Kenwood. Use a device for music, classic with 160 GB is impossible to fill even with non compressed music. then access phone with bluetooth. When I get a call i push volume button and I'm talkin" hands free.

If you purchase a 3.5mm mini jack cord it can work with anything that can connect to head phones. That includes all ipod products. I even use my shuffle with it. The Bluetooth has worked with everything Bluetooth I own.

I have an older receiver than the one you have and the only problem I had was that there was a plastic tab on the docking base that is for receivers slide down on when you plug your receiver into the dock. my receiver did not have that slot for the tab to slip into so I had to break the tab off the docking cradle in order for it to let my receiver slide down on the pegs that connect the power and antenna to the receiver. yours might have the slot in the back of your receiver and if not just break the tab off the docking station. I hope this helped

I would be leery of the compatibility. It should work fine with the aux input. I have had no real support from Onkyo on this device, I used an I Phone 4 s on my TX-SR507. Having said that I was worried it wouldn't work with the newer I Phones. If your receiver has the universal doc. tho. I seen no reason why it shouldn't work with the earlier I devices.

You obviously didn't read the reviews. There were two 5 star reviews of people specifically mentioning the 4G Touch working. And there were more reviews of the Iphone 4 working. I know there is ONE 1 star review saying it didn't work, but thats probably because Onkyo doesn't specifically say it will work with the new Ipods, so that reviewer probably never even bought the thing.

Good question. This is the reason I bought the product. However, it will not work with all factory bluetooth stereo systems. It seems there is a compatibility issue. I tried everything and I was able to get the transmitter to connect to my ford sync system. It connected and even allowed me to control my iPod using the car stereo controls BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND... No matter how hard I tried there was no sound coming from anywhere. It was rather disappointing. I would say take your chance for the price (cause it is low) and if anything, this TX and RX system works amazing with my iPod dock and my bluetooth home stereo system. When you find something that it does work with, the audio is indistinguishable from my being picky at downloads of 320 kbps.

Actually, this nifty little box is a Bluetooth RECEIVER, not a transmitter. The only audio connector on it is LINE OUT, which you would plug into your stereo system amplifier. That would permit you, for example, to play music on your smartphone (via Bluetooth) through your audio system. What you're looking for is a Bluetooth TRANSMITTER, which has a LINE IN connector, and broadcasts to your speakers, which contain Bluetooth receivers. Although I haven't tried it, the GadgetZone DBPower Portable Stereo Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter/Adapter Dongle here on Amazon looks like it might be a good choice. This is a little black box that plugs into a minijack (such as a headphone jack) and broadcasts to Bluetooth devices. It could be used for your application, but you might have to get an adapter to plug it into your old stereo system. Note that most devices (probably all) like this don't connect to speaker terminals -- they have to receive "line level" signals like those from an "audio out" jack or some headphone jacks. What you want to do is really very easy in principle, but your "old stereo" might not let you just plug and play without a little more fiddling. It depends on what kind of connections are available on the stereo.

The lightening cradle is designed for the new iPod, iPhone 5 or above, but you can purchase an adapter that will plug directly to unit. If you mean can you use the Bluetooth feature, you would have to buy a transmitter adapter for your iPod classic. which is exactly what i did, cause I also own a classic iPod. I originally purchased the Sony speaker for my iPhone 5 and wanted to use my classic iPod. you can buy both the adapters at amazon

All bluetooth headphones should be compatible with the adapter. I used this with my jaybirds and my 30 gb ipod classic. The problem may be if the ipod is too new. I tried using the transmitter on newer gen ipod nano and it didnt work. I would look up the manual of this online to know the ipod compatibility if i were you.

No. Only up to 4s. They have newer models that are designed for newer iPhones. You can purchase a Bluetooth receiver that fits a iPhone 4 cradle and use Bluetooth or save the money and get a newer i5 one. Most are Bluetooth only now days and the Phillips line is primarily Bluetooth only.

The Eton speaker (like this one...but mine is about 10 years old, I think) I bought works great with my old U-2 special edition iPod...but not with my iPod Touch...the little adapters that came with it didn't help either. I tried buying some other apparatus after getting some so-called expert advice and ended up having to send the stuff back because that didn't work either. You might want to try those little single speakers...they're really small and usually spherical in shape. I have not found any small speaker system that I can play my iPod Touch on. Hope this was helpful.
