I purchased this kit along with the IPOD Classic, Seventh Generation. The Bluetooth Speakerbox does not seem to connect wirelessly to the IPOD? What's up with that? Is there another Bluetooth Adapter that I need to buy?

No did you pair the speaker with your phone? I believe you put the speaker in pairing mode by holding down the power button. Check the manual. Be careful with the charging port when you charge it. After about a month mine came lose. It's lightly soldered.

I tried using a bluetooth adapter on the 30 pin ipod cable but didn't have any success....

Good question. This is the reason I bought the product. However, it will not work with all factory bluetooth stereo systems. It seems there is a compatibility issue. I tried everything and I was able to get the transmitter to connect to my ford sync system. It connected and even allowed me to control my iPod using the car stereo controls BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND... No matter how hard I tried there was no sound coming from anywhere. It was rather disappointing. I would say take your chance for the price (cause it is low) and if anything, this TX and RX system works amazing with my iPod dock and my bluetooth home stereo system. When you find something that it does work with, the audio is indistinguishable from my being picky at downloads of 320 kbps.

I tried to connect my iPod Classic 160GB via my KOKKIA i10s + aptX Tiny Bluetooth iPod Transmitter for iPod/iPhone/iPad/iTouch with true Apple authentication, delivers cleaner audio with reduced latency for aptX Bluetooth receivers to my Bose SoundLink portable Bluetooth speaker, but it would not connect after several tries. I went to the Bose SoundLink Mini page FAQ here: http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/bluetooth_speakers/soundlink_mini/index.jsp and it states: "What kind of audio sources can I use with the SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker?" "The speaker is designed specifically for use with today's most popular Bluetooth devices, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops. In addition, it includes an auxiliary input for a wired connection to an MP3 or similar portable player." The KOKKIA i10s + aptX is an add-on Bluetooth transmitter. If it were built-in, with different hardware, such as a tablet, computer, or headphones it would then connect. But instead, you will need to obtain a 3.5mm cable for your connection.

It worked with the classic model that I had, but when I purchased the 4th Generation ipod, I started having problems with it. It does not play the music through the speakers, it will however, charge the ipod.

Sounds like a connection problem if it works some times and not others. I only have a iPod CLASSIC and have never had any problems. Maybe a visit to the Apple Store. Sorry not much help. Regards,Barry

If you use a link cable from the speaker of the IPOD to the Speaker Dock, and insert it into the port of the docking station on the back, then push the input button on the Speaker Dock, that should work. (It is the same cable/wire you use to connect your IPOD to a car's stereo system.) There is a port on the docking station that allows you to hook up other devices to the docking station and use its' speakers. Otherwise, I don't know.

Ok, so I took the time to talk to Sony (2 hours on the phone) and Apple (1 hour on the phone) about this. Sony tell me that the iPod classic has the same specifications for the connection port as the iPod 5th gen Video. So, they believe that the problem is in the iPod classic's firmware. They did say that they were going to get their engineer's to look at connecting a classic up to see why it is not working. So, the Apple story. Apple looked at this and said that the classic's video out was slightly different than the 5th gen. But, after looking at it a little more closely, and looking at some of the products that Apple sell for similar functionality (video out to TV/Receiver), they then started to feel that there may be an issue with the hardware/firmware. They also indicated that they had received reports of the classic working with similar products, and then failing to work after a recent firmware upgrade. Apple also indicated that they would contact their engineers regarding the connection to the Sony Digital Media port, and give reasons as to why it is not working, and whether there is some way to make it work. I should hear back within the next few days (given that tomorrow is friday, it may be early next week). Hopefully this matter will be resolved by a firmware update. What was really dissapointing was I plugged in my friends 5th gen, and it worked a charm. So it can work...

I had good experience connecting IPod to Logitech Boom Box player (around 300$) You can play everything you have on the Pod. But......If you qould install wireless, or wired, eathernet connection, you have all the music you can handle with thousands radio stations available (the Boom Box has great speakers on board). Enjoy It!

Bluetooth runs in the same frequency bands as many other wireless items, such as home phones and wifi hubs etc, it might be that you have wireless interference causing this problem. I also agree with ntscdan, it could be batteries or age of iPod. I am sure you done this anyway, but try moving the speaker and iPod to a different room, you could also try deleting the relationship and pairing again. If none of that works, try pairing a different item such as mobile phone or laptop and check the results.

My ipod will not work on my samsung surround sound ,is this a common problem? and di I need to get a new ipod connecter,or is this internal?

No, if I am correct about Ipod Classic. This requires that your device is bluetooth capable, and as i recall, the Ipod Classic doesn't have bluetooth.

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.

Hey Floyd,As I am kinda tech challenged, it was really simple. I think all I did was turned it on and my iPod found it automatically. If you are still having problems then go to your settings tab on your iPod and make sure you have bluetooth turned on. If it is then go to bluetooth settings and make sure MW600 is connected, If not connected then touch it so it will discover it.If MW600 is not listed press and hold the on-off button on the MW600 unit for about 5 seconds, pairing indicator should appear on display. On your iPod search for and add new device. Enter 0000 if a passcode is required. Hey Floyd,As I am kinda tech challenged, it was really simple.

Looks like the classic don't have bluetooth. So you will need an adapter or another device. I use my phone for music. Only about 70 gb of storage on my phone but that's enough for me. Good luck

I don't much about technology, but I asked my husband to double check on the box and it didn't say anything about Bluetooth. One thing I know, I have an old Ipod and it's not compatible with this player. I still keep it, because I had purchased two other brands and they failed within 6 months. I have an old SONY 6-cd portable cd players for over 10 years and it's still playing well. I have to use the adopter to get my old ipod to work it. I trust SONY brand and price is right.

I've dealt with the same problem. My brother and I both share the speaker between the two of us. Sometimes my phone will not connect to it and gives me the same lame excuse that you received. You just have to make sure the previous device you used has Bluetooth turned off completely and it is entirely out of range. Then you go ahead and turn on the speaker, turn the Bluetooth on on the device you want to use, and then connect it when the device reads the signal from the speaker. That's how we took care of the problem. It's a little tedious and absurd, but it's the system we use to make it work.
