Will an iPhone 5 dock with this unit without any problems or limitations in audio quality?

An iPhone 5 will not dock into this unit, but you can connect it using an aux cord without any issues and the audio sounds perfect.

using the aux input for iphone 5 sound quality is not the same, a little low. Sorry my English is not very good

No. The USB connection only seems to work with iPods/iPhones, etc. And the dock connection only works with the newer-model iPod/iPhones.

Yes you can. My wife uses this speaker for her Zumba classes and hooks up her iPhone to it. While it doesn;t have a dock, all you need is a 3.5mm cable (http://amzn.to/1gSwCBE) with a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter (http://amzn.to/1iaZ7yR). Insert the small plug into your device and the large end into the AUDIO IN jack on the speaker.

I love this player, but I use the speakers. It has great sound. Maybe you could plug you earphones into the iPhone or iPod directly, but I've never done this. The new iPhone 5 has it's ear plug connector on the bottom, so I don't think you could use ear phones when the 5 is docked.

We have a sound dock portable, that the Auris works really well with. My iphone 5, iPad and my wife's pc all connect with it easily. It doesn't work with our Panasonic home theatre system though (just FYI)

Using my 6+ with it, no problems other then most cases won't allow it to sit properly, but that's with most every dock. I bought a lightning to Lightning adapter so my iBlason case works with this dock. So far it's great. Aux cable input is "good", Bluetooth is "ok" because there are sometimes problems with audio skipping and/or volume randomly changing, lightning input is flawless so far.

not on the docking station portion (unless there is a lightning to 30 pin converter). it is only for the iPhone 5, unless you are using the audio in jack.

The dock the iphone or ipod sits in will only work with 30 pin connections, not the new "lightning" plug used for iPhone 5 and above. There is a MP3 setting that comes with a "earphone" type plug that will plug into the headphone jack on any phone and let the music play.

It will sound better than any dock as long as:1. Your music isn't overly compressed, which most people tend to do because the iPod headphone out is designed for garbage sound (portable ear buds basically) so no sense in wasting iPod storage space with larger files.2. You use the line out on your pod. Headphone connector will not sound good with this setup (or any setup really). Use the line out and the sound will be great though.

It has a plug in adapter you can use and it will play through the speaker...but it will not charge/dock the iphone 5

the dock is not compatible with iPod5 (old connector) but there is an AUX IN that you could use to hook up.

The Bluetooth connection works with an iPhone 5, but the dock connector does not -- that's the pre-5 30-pin connector. So, you can use it as an external speaker for a 5, but that's it.

You will not be able to put an Iphone 5 in to charging dock station as the charger for iphone5 has changed. The aux works ok with iphone 5 but i would not recommend.

I don't know the answer and best to direct that towards the vendor. I do know in my configuration, it does work (Sounddock 1 with iPhone 5). What you need to be aware of is they sell two types (one powered, on not). If you have an adaptor to convert lightning port to 30-pin female), you can test what you need by docking your iPhone 5. If it charges it, you only need the receiver. If it doesn't, then you probably need the powered version. Hope this helps, and again your best bet is to just ask the vendor with your specific setup.

The hookup in the dock is not the one for the iPhone 5. You can still hook it up with the auxiliary cord though.

I can tell you I love this unit. It has the connector for the iPhone 5. It also has on the back of the unit an input jack that uses the jack size as iPod headphone. Your iPod just won't charge off of that one. You'll be happy with it.

Absolutely can. That is what I have - the original Bose Sound Dock - Cable Jive fits onto the port instead of putting your IPod on there. You connect to your IPhone via bluetooth (at least that's how I connect to my IPad and/or Android phone. Very easy - sound is AWESOME. Cable Jive turned my old Bose Sound Dock into a way more versatile device for a very low cost! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
