I bought the RDPXF300iPN by mistake. My technology wasn't advanced enough, so I ended up buying the RDPXF200iP. It is a 30 pin &amp; is supposed to be compatible with my iPod 4 touch. It sounds fantastic, but it doesn't charge it like it is supposed to....

I had a similar problem, but it was temporary. Someone had turned off the power to the outlet where my Sony RDPXF300iPN was connected.

Seems it doesn't charge, although it will play songs/videos on the iTouch. The only part that may be bad for your iTouch in using this transmitter, is that the battery would drain while you play your songs/videos. More bad for you than the itouch device. So you'd have to recharge it with an alternate charger or though the usb cord on the computer. Suggestions for alternate product: FM Transmitter & Car Charger with LCD Screen - for Apple iPod / Iphone 3G / Itouch 2nd Generation / Nano 4th Generation - High Quality digital Sound - Automatically powers and recharges battery with car adapter. --I like this so far. Just wish it had buttons to preset stations so you don't have to scan each time to find a clear station. When you get a good station, songs play clearly. You would have to figure out what to do with the iTouch as it dangles from a cord. Put it in the cupholder? Find some sort of bean-bag thing like people use for their gps to sit on the dash?

My friend gave me one for free. It works great with my 3rd gen Nano. It adds the "radio" function to the ipod menu. I have used it simply for the remote option (not in radio mode) and didn't notice the extra drain on the battery that others complain about.

I wanted to know this as well, and as I was going through the reviews one person said:"I purchased two of these, and the LCD display did not work on one. They do not charge an iPod touch (fourth-generation), so if you were planning to listen to your tunes for hours while driving down the road; you had better make a different plan. Hours later, your battery will be dead. On the other hand, the FM transmitter seems to work okay without the plug-in attachment. "

I ended up returning this dock and purchased an Altec Lansing that I am much happier with. I was using an iPhone 3GS at the time and I would think any iPod Touch should work. It might come with an adapter but you shouldn't need to download anything.

Yes, you can. You need to use an audio cable in order to connect the iPod to Sony RDPXF300IPN. I did it with my iPod Nano and it was perfect. Good lucky!

I know this is a common concern but I just got this speaker and it CAN charge an ipod touch 2nd generation...if you have the time to deal with it.I tried playing around with it and figured out that if you have the speaker turned on (with the ipod turned on (or in sleep mode) and inserted on the dock) and unplug and replug the speaker, it begins charging each time. The speaker MUST be turned on when you unplug it or else it doesn't work. The ipod doesn't have to be on the dock when its unplugged but it has to be on the dock once you plug it in for this to work. This is the only way I can get it to charge 100% of the time. Tedious but it works. Let me know if this helps. Good luck everyone!

Hi. I have this speaker and wanted to use it with my iPod. You can't. It only has a USB port. I dumped a bunch of songs on a thumb drive and used that instead. But don't use a large drive. I think it accepted an 4 gig. Not the 32 gig I bought for it.

Is your I pod a thirty pin docking. If not they also make adapters of different configuration that should make it compatible . I use these extensions so I can leave my I pod in its case. My son has this dock and he loves it. Carries it to locker room , and his hockey team listens to it before games.

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. :)

This speaker is compatible with all ipod's that have the 30 pin connector. (Except the ipod shuffle, which it doesn't sound like is your concern anyway...) If you were get a newer ipod that has the lightning dock, you're going to have to connect it through the aux (auxiliary) port which won't charge your ipod like the 30 pin connector will. This is actually a pretty good sounding speaker. It runs on plug in AND battery power which is good. It's a pretty nice consideration if you're looking for an inexpensive ipod dock and if you're able to find one on the Amazon Warehouse Deals, you can usually save yourself a few bucks. (That's how I got mine.)

When I first plugged it into the On Stage my iPod said it couldn't charge with this device, but it wouldn't play either. I've tried plugging it back in after finding these posts, and there's no message as before; On Stage (or iPod) doesn't acknowledge at all. It's as seated in the port as it possibly can be without worrying I'll wobble the iPod and break it. My mini-iPod still works just fine on it as always. Any suggestions? Thanks!

It works fine with mine, but I do not have the latest ipod connections. My wife bought a new one the plug is different.

I have a 30 pin ipod that I keep on the Yamaha for my night time listening but I have used my iphone 5 successfully on the Yamaha using Apple's lightning to 30 pin adapter with no issues. I must be clear that it HAS to be the adapter made by Apple or it will probably not work. I have ordered 2 of these through Amazon for our various 30 pin players and they work perfectly. Only problem is that it raises your player a good inch higher off the Yamaha and could stress the jack over time. Apple also makes a corded version of the adapter (male lightning to 30 pin female) but the cord is only 6 inches long. Very happy with the Yamaha. Excellent quality and features for my use.

The rdp-xf300ip probably doesn't change from radio to ipod to aux function to turning itself off at random like the rdp-xf100ip does when plugged in.

I don't have an Ipod 4, nor am I familiar with its connection. I use it for an Iphone 4s. SORRY!
