Does an iPhone 5s connect, play and charge thru the usb port? Or must you get the 30 pin to lighting adapter? Thank you!

gave this as gift. i would assume that you need the adapter since it was made before the iphone 5 came out.

Yes, that is correct.. If you own a new iPhone 5C or 5S, you'll need a 30-pin to lightening connector / adaspter available online from a variety of sources

Not really. I have a 5s and an old 3s. I use the 3s because it will charge and the controls work. The plug in is the 30 pin style not the lightning charger. A 5s can be used with the headphone MP3 plug in, but it won't charge, the controls don't work and it barely fits. I would recommend upgrading to the SSV stereo with the bluetooth to use with the 5s. I wish I would have ordered that one.

It has the 30 pin adapter connection. You might need to buy the 30 pin to lightning adapter.

It doesn't come with an adapter, and I'm not sure if third party 30 pin adapters will work, but you can always plug your iPhone 4 in via your USB cable and use it. It'll charge and play!

No, the 5 and 5S use the lightning port connection, this tip is for the 32-pin connection on the iPhone models previously made

I don't have an iPhone but as long as you have the correct adapter, it can charge it. I charge my iPad with it and my android phone and it works just fine.none of those are iPhone 5s though.

this does not have the lightning adapter, it has 30 pin adapter. BUT if you purchase a 30 pin to lightning adapter, it works perfectly. we use it with our iPhone 5s.

Should be with the lightening port. I use the 5S. Great unit for the money. Be hire noise every night to help us sleep.

It has a 30-pin connector so the only way to use an iPhone 5 would be to have a 30-pin to lighting adapter or use the aux input (like plugging earphones)

I use it with my 5s- you just have to supply the USB lightning cord. Acts like plugging it into a computer USB.

I have a iPhone 5 and it works perfectly. I would think it would work wit the 5s they both use the 8pin lightning conector???

My wife has an iPod 5 and we use a 30 pin to lightning adaptor on the cradle (which you can get here for $25). It's just like using an older pre-lightening iDevice. No issues whatsoever....

If you buy an adapter, you can put an iPhone 5 on the dock. The dock comes with the wider/older connection for the iPhone 4S and before. WITH THAT SAID, my light has NOT been working ever since I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7. The new iOS and the light do not communicate with each other and so the alarm doesn't go off and the light doesn't light up. It is extremely frustrating. So if you have an iPhone 5 and the older iOS, go for it!

I does not have a 30 pin or lightning port. It has three USB type A ports. The one on the front is the only data port. The 2 on top are charge only ports. The data port seems to work with most USB flash drives and unencrypted .mp3 files. But it didn't connect with my Iphone 4s. I connected it to the tower with a USB to 30 Pin original apple cable. The top ports do charge Iphones as well as Ipads, Kindles, etc. as it has 2.1 amps. The only way I could get my Iphones, Kindles, or Ipads to connect digitally with this device was thru the Bluetooth connection. This works to play music that is on your IPad etc. or for playing internet music, etc. You can also connect most any audio device to the stereo mini jack on the front or the L and R RCA jacks on the back using an audio cable.

I had a similar situation, I was connecting my iPhone 5s to a 2008 G37 which came with an iPod cable. I got the Lightning adapter from Apple, but it wouldn't charge bc the cable was built for an iPod. Got the Scosche passport and it worked. It is made specifically for that purpose, to convert iPod cables to charge you're iphone. It worked for me, should work on what you are trying to do.

Yes, you need the 30 Pin to Lightning adapter. It works great. I have an iPhone 5.
