Is this unit compatible with older iPods -- i.e., 5th generation?

It depends on how old you're talking. 5th Gen for sure. And definitely any device with bluetooth.

As an add on to my previous response, the connector works with the older iPods, iPhones and iPads. When I read your question, I was thinking iPhone instead of iPod so the connector will work with the older iPods, which is the same as the iPhone 4 or prior. Bluetooth on the iPhone 5 and after. Hope this clarifies and helps.

You can also get an adaptor to dock a new iPhone. Converts the phones lightning to a 30 pin.

Work with older ipods and if you buy the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter work with the 5th generation too.

It is through Bluetooth but not via the connector. I'm not sure about an adapter.

Will work easily with any Apple iPod or itouch that has the 30 pin connector. Our old I touch works via blue tooth as well, just like my iPhone 5 works. Best/fullest sound is with docking, but blue tooth is not bad and is so convenient!

It has the old style adapter (pre-lightning) so works with any of those style directly. It works with lightning based devices using either an adapter or via bluetooth.

This product did not work for my iPod5 th generation is their anything else compatible to it?

I'll give that a shot. I've noticed that they only claim to support the 5th gen and newer Nano, as well as the iPhone/iTouch. I was using a 4th gen Nano and an old classic (at that time just called the iPod). Now I have a 5th gen Nano, and it seems to work? I'll report back after more testing.

No- ipod 5th generation uses the lightning pin charger (the really tiny one)- this is the big fat older adaptor which would work for 4th gen and below...

Well the one I have isn't compatible with the ipod touch 4 ( if by compatible you mean charge it otherwise it played music for me but I think the 5th has a different charging port than the older models)

this unit only works with iPod 4th Generation! U can research about it a little more by going to Harman Kardon

Yes! Our son has a 5th generation iPod & we got an adapter from Target. The iPod docks on top of the 1"-high adapter instead of resting directly in the slot, but it does work.

It doesn't work with my 4th generation ipod Touch, but according to others it does work with older models, 2nd and 3rd generation at least.

It won't plug in directly since iPod 5th gen uses the new "Lightning" dock connector whereas this radio has the older-style 30-pin dock connector. Apple sells a "Lightning to 30-pin Adapter" for $30 which will probably fit OK in this radio but the iPod will lean back, supported only by the plug on the bottom. Maybe not the best combination.

it worked with my iPhone 4 and ipad 3 so it should work with your ipod 5th gen if in doubt look up compatibility on this product.

My iPod is old, not sure of the generation, but really old and it works with it. This speaker has the old pin size. Good luck!

No, it is compatible with old iphone and ipod models ( those having a 30pin connection dock )

Not sure. I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch and it works with that. I would think it should be no problem with newer models.

It says on their website that they're compatible with all generations of ipod. I emailed them to make sure.

I don't know - this unit stopped working last year. It was my son's and we found the volume was just automatically go from whatever setting to zero after about 30 seconds of playing. And you couldn't get the volume to change unless you powered it off & on again. BTW, he just got a iPod Touch 5th gen - and he loves it.

"It's compatible with any audio source that uses a 3.5-mm headphone jack, including iPod, Sansa, Zune, portable CD players, and more" from the product description :-) I almost missed it, too. I have a 5th gen and just bought this one, we shall see!
