I want to use with my Iphone 5 to monitor a room in the house. Is there a way to maintain the unit and the Iphone always charging?

Good question, the unit itself can charge non stop via the usb cable. However the iPhone cannot be charged during usage docked into the unit.

You should be able to, but of course certain phones may act differently. I haven't had any issues connecting my iPhone to the receiver while being in various rooms.

I have mine attached to the back of a stereo system in my home. The power for it is plugged into a switch that comes on when the stereo is turned on. As soon as I am in range and turn it on, my iPhone automatically attaches to it.

You use your lightning cable that comes with your iphone. The cable that comes with it is used for charging the battery. I am very satisfied with it. It will charge my iphone zone complete charge.

You have to reverse the USB cord and plug it into the opposite end of the battery pack. I then attached it to the plug that came with my Iphone and used a regular electrical outlet. You can also use your computer to recharge the unit. One note: it will not work with the Iphone 5. Apple changed the charging port.

This unit can control an iphone via the iphone you just have to give the iphone control in the units properties. It is either one or the other. This head unit does charge the iphone but will prompt you to place it in airplane mode. You just click No and it works and charges. I own this unit and love it.

It would appear that there is a constant power connection. My iPhone is able to charge when my car is off.

Negative. It works via synching, via your ComPilot & The ComPilot can only synch with one device.Not to drag out the reply. But I will be watching TV, listineing to the show via my ComPilot, and if I put my iPhone in the charger, the iPhone Bluetooth will override the TV bluetooth connection. So I have to turn off the iPhone, to continue the charging, in order to listen to my TV show. With this example, I hope I provided a better undestanding of my answer to your great question. Terry

I bought it for my 2003 Victory to charge my iPhone 5. It worked for about a month, but now I get the "charging is not supported with this accessory" message. I do not get that message using the same charging cable in my car or in my home, so it has to be this outlet. Perhaps because there is no voltage regulator? I don't know what the solution is, but my phone clearly doesn't like it. Any other iPhone 5 users having trouble with this outlet?

I use mine for quick charges during the day. I let my iphone get to 40% and then charge it. I usually can do this twice a day and then I recharge it when I get home.

Worked for me. Also works with iPhone 5 with the 30-pin to Lightning adaptor. Now waiting for a Lightning clock radio. As an aside, the display is too bright for a bedroom for my taste, and the usual Sony and other manufacturers kludgy button arrangement.

I'm not sure. I'm just trying to convert an iHome clock radio from the iPhone to Samsung and it will not stay connected to charge and open the alarm function through the radio and the phone the way it will with an iPhone.

Not sure what you mean by "charge" in this case. This receiver supports "Air Play" which will allow you to use your iPhone to play music through the receiver. I believe that the iPhone 5 is supported. I have a 4S and iTunes seems to support this as well. I suspect if you have the latest version of iTunes (which you need for your iPhone 5 IIRC) you should get what you want.Ignoring all of the above, if you are asking about using the USB port to charge your iPhone I have no idea.

If u use Iphone charger, then just change the USB connection only. Unplug the Iphone original charger USB connection, instead of that, use the one the unit comes with.
