Work with the Ipod Touch? Has anybody had success getting the video from the ipod touch to play through this device?

I USED to be able to do that but it no longer is working. I was wondering if it were my iPod but nothing seems wrong with it. Using my iPod to play music through this unit is still working fine but I bought it for the precise purpose of using it as a larger screen for watching videos from my iPod. Anyone have suggestions? I loved it when it was working properly.

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.

Glad to know that purchased videos work on the X-Fi. They did *not* work on the X-Fi Style that I bought, so I returned that one. Has anyone tried hooking the X-Fi to an external video screen? Any comments on how best to do that? If it's easy and inexpensive enough, I might try the X-Fi.Thanks, - Ted

So far there is an adapter that u can convert ur 30 pin iPod cable to lightning but it does not support video. U can use an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S and it will play video as well as iPod touches or classics. It's a 6.95 screen

Can only use airplay. Video is hit or miss (device shows up as audio only most of the time) using iOS 7. Works fine with iOS 6 or android

I had the same problem and I tried everything I could think of and was never able to get my Ipod to work on this box. I ended up sending it back and I believe that the Apple Ipod was not compatible with this system. Good luck!

I know I'm not helping here, but I wanted to commiserate. I bought this because TONS of reviews blatantly say that this works with Netflix, etc., but it doesn't for me. Except the Video app and the old YouTube app on my iPod Touch 3rdGen. I feel like I must be missing something, but now that I see YouTube plays fine, I'm more confused than ever. Disappointing! Anyone have any ideas what we're doing wrong here? Grrr.... Thanks!

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...

It can work with the ipod touch 4th generation. The bluetooth connection is a little shaky on it however, though whenever you move with one of them. (Either the ipod or speaker)

yes..... i love mine. this is the third one ive bought, both of my previous players were lost and stolen. The only feature that i find has any hinderances, is to configure a video to play on the player. The movie or video must be a certain format to play. a plus is tha fm radio, which a ipod does not have.

It works perfectly with my iPad. I have an iPod touch and would need to try out and let you know. I will try to check this evening.

Hello, mine is working with my ipad. But, to answer your question, should work with your iPod touch with no problem through bluetooth connection. Great piece, recommended. It´s in another league.

No, it will not work with the iPhone nor the iPod Touch. It only supports 3rd and 4th generation iPods, hence the low price. Rather, you need an older iPod in order to make them work.

I works beautifully with the Ipod Touch 4th Generation. I did write a review after purchasing this unit and it is really nice, so glad I own it...you will be, too!!!

After much trial and error, discovered that it only works through the TV with the iPod and iPhone 4 series. The Netflix app does not support 3GS, etc. - only 4 series. What a bummer! Streams audio but no picture. :(
