I bought this, but I can't get any signal from it on my iPhone. What am I doing wrong? I can't find a plug for it either. Does it take batteries?

It's possible that you're somewhere that doesn't support 4G. Try moving out of the woods and closer to an urban area.

Hahaha this bag is a walking sleeping bag. You may be thinking of some thing else.

I had to upgrade to the latest OS. Worked fine after that. You probably have the solar powered option if you don't see a plug.

I think this verison is a windows version. But it is running on windows 7. You may need to downgrade your phone to communicate properly with the bag. I did and let me tell you, you can set it up to give a slight back and rump rub. Best bag on the market.

That was the most pertinent and funniest question asked. I'm surprised those are not built in.

A gas generator will likely plump it up fine. But, I want to know if the USB connections are male or female. This determine what kind of peripheral devices I will need to buy.

You need an Android phone. I can communicate with it just fine with my galaxy 3 phone. Plug is located on the right wrist unless you got the left handed model.

It does'nt work at all on iPhone 3G, then I threw it away. I lost my money and my time. And moreover, it empties the power left on the phone whenever I plug on wall to fulfill it.

I would say best option to narrow down the source of the issue is to try other iPhones, preferably iPhone 5's like yours, to see if it's not the lighting cable port on the phone. You know it works with your iPad air, so, maybe if you know some other people with iPhones, friends or family, you can test the unit with their iphones. Turn off Bluetooth on your phone and hook it up. Reset the phone, home button and sleep button held down together until the phone turns off and you see the apple appear on the screen, try connecting it again keeping the Bluetooth turned off. Reset network settings, try connecting it again. I have an iPhone 5s no issues here. If the dock works with you iPad than I would assume it has to do with the phone. Try those things see if it doesn't help. Do you have issues connecting it with other things to transfer data, like iTunes? Maybe try a restore on your phone with iTunes just make sure you back up your phone, but it does sound more like a hardware issue than a software issue. Still, doesn't hurt to try a few things. Backup your phone if you do a restore though, and know that any unpaid music will be lost with that restore so consider that to before you do it. Hope I could help if you didn't already try some or all of those things. You can also try this tech article from the apple website to troubleshoot it gives a link on how to restore the phone. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203284 and if anything call apple for tech support they might be able to help you. Update your support profile so if you call the rep can find your information fairly quickly. You can update your profile at https://supportprofile.apple.com/ last I would say if all else fails find your device manual and call for support their. But because your iPad Air 2 works with it, I'm leaning more towards the phone as the issue.

I have the same problem. I have also had it not connect with my iPhone until another device makes a connection first. I have not found an answer yet but will keep an eye out and report back here if I do.

I don't know - mine does not blink. However - have you tried unplugging and replugging in? Do you have the ipad plugged into the ipad and not iphone spot? Just thoughts. I had a previous charger like this one which would blink if I plugged my Ipad into the spot for the phone. Otherwise I would try a different outlet. And if none of that works, return it if you can.

I bought one and I would have been better off buy a piece of string and hooking it to a can hoping to get a signal through the string. It dont work... I waisted money buying it and due to im over seas hoping to get a better signal, and trying to return it is nearly impossible from here. It would cost me even more to try to return it..

Mine connected right up. Your iPhone may ask "find" the receiver, and ask you for a code (that would be 0000). If you're in the same room with the receiver and your iPhone is not "seeing" it (in settings, under Bluetooth), make sure that the dock you have the receiver plugged into has power going to it - is it lit up? Hope this helps.

In theory this product does that. You plug it into the cigarette lighter (as a power source) and it transmits an FM radio signal so that you can use your cars radio to tune into your iPhone, essentially. HOWEVER, as myself and countless others have said in response to questions about this product and in reviews of this product - it's not worth getting. Spend a little more money and get something that actually works. You're better off finding a similar product (ie. that does the same thing), but that isn't flawed. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Try a different iPhone cord. Also make sure the charger is on (press the power button) while your phone is plugged in. It could also be a problem with the phone itself.

I only use it installed on a PC. I have no idea if it would work on an iPad or IPhone, nor how to connect/hookup/install it. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

My unit may or may not work at any given distance. Experience with this device (and I have TWO of them) is similar to yours, though. I've always put it down to the Bluetooth capability of my iPhone being quite limited. I doubt that you have a defective device. Instead, I think that it's mostly just limitations of Bluetooth...AND the fact that this device just isn't quite as "quality" as we'd like for it to be. Put that down to "you get what you pay for"...and these were't very expensive.

You may need a new cord. I just plugged in the end into the speaker and the USB end into a wall plug like for your iPhone. The USB part also charges with computers and ps3/xboxes to. If it is not working it may be your coord I would email the company.

Once my iPhone is connected, it plays music well, but when I try to use voice commands using Siri, the commands aren't understood. I can see the audio is getting to the phone (watching the wiggly line when using Siri), but the pickup is not good. When I disconnect bluetooth, Siri input works okay. So I would say it is no longer using the phone mic or something else in the software is deficient.

Apple (Iphone etc) products have their own connectors. This item has micro usb which iphones dont use - they have proprietary connector. I'd check for an adapter or return this and get an apple brand charger. sorry!

Mine worked very intermittently. I was able to get music to come out of it, but not very reliably. Try moving it around. You could also check if there's an update for the firmware for your access point. I ended up sending mine back because the music was constantly pausing.

You will need a head unit. Their are many on the market that allow Iphones to plug in with a USB port on the front of the unit. Hope this helps & Good Luck!

No, there is no prongs, cables or wires for this device to plug into a wall socket. The only power it has is from the three 1.5 Energizer batteries. When all three batteries are inserted into the device, a blue light comes on........... and then there's a male jack that is supposed to plug into your IPhone. Well, after inserting the device in to the phone, nothing happens. The IPhone doesn't even recognize that anything is trying to deliver a charge to the phone. A great idea.... too bad it doesn't work. Both of them.Doug K
