Will the 2nd generation Zune's work with this? ? I have pre-ordered the Zune 2nd gen. Just wondering if the accessories from the old gen will work?

ya from what i've read they should work with all old equipment, and old zunes will work with new accessories.

It works, you just have to remove the base (Took 5 minutes, no tools required, just push in the tab where the remote is stored and pull up). But considering the V2 version of the dock is only a few bucks more, go with that one instead for the 80GB version

mackryl- You are incorrect my friend. The gen 1 A/V kit WILL work with 80 gig gen 2 players. There is one exception. You will NOT get component video out of the base but rather composite. The base plate is removed for V2 players and the fit is right on. I have one in my hand and use it. My purpose with the kit is audio not video- 720 X 480 is not would I consider quality on the big screen . Since I received this a gift and it works- all is good.

Hi - I bought this recently with the 80GB Zune- and it does not work with it - does not fit in the dock - the connector is way far back in the Zune slot. I wonder how you remove the base plate as S. Kisamore mentions?

I have the same problem, pre-ordered new Zune 80, and interested in this pack. I see that there is a new a/v pack. Is this 100% certain? Are there any official sources of info on this?

I was told that in fact the old Home A/V pack is compatible with the new Zune. However, I've returned it anyway since the new Home A/V Pack (v2) also has a component video output that is important to take advantage of the 720 pixels x 480 pixels signal of the Zune 80's video out. I cancelled the 2006 Home A/V pack and have ordered for 15$ more the v2... :)

Yep, it suppose to. Check with the seller to make sure it has one, cause zune stuff is getting harder and harder to find. Its AMAZING no else even tried to compete with Apple except mircosoft.

Have you been able to find any more suggestions on a frozen zune? I have tried your ideas, but it's still frozen. I would appreciate any more info you might have to offer.Thanks!

Ipod and Zune's have two different docks. If it was a usb connection then you could but they wouldn't call it an ipod dock.

Actually, in response to my other question, nevermind. I found through Yahoo! Answers the "secret" to making YouTube videos Zune compatible. I've followed it with zero problems, and now I've got some kickass music videos on my Zune. :)For anybody interested in the tutorial, you have to visit:http://www.zunescene.com/forums/index.php?topic=4946.0I swear, this is the absolute most helpful little thing I've found related to the Zune to date. :)

Kevin, u got it wrong..It comes with a USB cable which will charge your player the moment you connect it to your PC :) Same goes for iPod..The charger that you see on the marketplace is IF you want to plug in the Zune to power socket.. :) While you are syncing your player, it will do the charging for you..isnt that just fine?

i installed it in a first gen, 30gb player and it worked like a charm. It is a little bit thicker than what should fit in the zune, so it will bulge a little bit. I cannot confirm or deny if it works with other generations of zune players.

As long as it has the same connector as the regular zune, you should be fine. Id attach a photo of mine but I'm not sure how lol Sorry

Thankyou for posting this info regarding the radio and remote will not work correctly with the HD Zune.I'll have to pass.Thanks again

I got a Zune for Christmas and have already sent it back. I loved the look, the feel, the bigger screen, and the radio. The only problem I found was the software and it lagged(like a PC). Until a new version of the Zune comes out I would go with something else.

I use an iPod Classic (older model 20gb) and it works fine. I do not have an iPhone but play my Zune through the aux input. I also have a Google phone (Nexus 5) and play it through the aux input with good fidelity. The sound is very good and I don't play my Bose 901's in the living room anymore because the dock is so convenient and so good. I like th price/value factor of the Altec Lansing docks. I still have my first one playing in the basement...Nice!

Hi there,i'd like to buy a new 8GB mp3, but, i'm confused between the new ipod nano and zune. people say that the 3rd gen nano has a great battery life now, but, i'm discouraged from transferring my music files to itunes and changing the format (i've been using windows media. so, they're mostly in .wma)Is it true that Zune's software is crippled?being an experienced useer, would you recommend zune or nano? =)thanks a bunch!!

Eric - check the Reviews. One other buyer has evaluated the item on a Zune 120GB.

The Zune Insider says that they will continue to use the same charger port so you can still use any of your Zune accessories that you currently have with the Zune HD

The audio will work since it uses a standard headphone jack. If the Zune charges with a USB cable, then you can charge as well
