I have a 60 gig ipod. I'm not sure what Gen it is, but it is before the touch. Will it charge from this deck and can I still control it from the ipod?

Yes this deck when in usb mode it will charge your iPod and let you have full control

There is a USB from the back so you should be able to plug your IPOD cable into it and control it with the IPOD. Read the instructions on the Alpine web site the see how to switch it from head unit control to IPOD. Should work fine.

I have no idea what generation my Ipod is. It is about 5 years old. It works fine with mine. Sorry I can't help with this question.

If you have an iPod on the dock (as shown in the images), it will charge the device. If you wish to play music without charging, you can use the aux-in at the back of the dock.

I see this is now shipping. Would appreciate if someone who has this would confirm whether it does charge the iPod Touch Gen 2.

I have charged a 4s,5,iPod touch&iPad4th; gen successfully. Problem is that they don't last very long,tend to get hot and cease working after 5 or 6 chargings ( charger not iPods)!

Yes, you will have to take the iPod out in order to charge as the connector will not be able to fit for charge.

I didn't get it to work on my Shuffle which is was a 2nd gen. It only lit up when it was first plugged it but it didn't charge at all. I'm not sure if it would sync on the computer but I mainly bought it for wall charging purposes so I shipped it back and ended up going to the Apple store and forking over $30

Not sure. I have an iPod 1st gen, it won't charge it but it plays it. It does have an awesome sound.

Can anyone verify that the 4G iPod Touch not only plays but actually CHARGES the iPod as well? Some of these docking stations do not charge the newest iPods.

I guess it depends on what generation of iPod Nano you have. If you have an older model that uses the "30-pin connector" you are good to go. If you have the new model that uses the "lightning connector" then this does not not have that connector included. That being said, as long as your iPod charger cable has a standard USB on one end (the end you plug into a computer) and the lightning connector on the other, you should be able to use that cord to charge from this devices USB output!

I have 70Gb on a 160Gb iPod, and all the CDs to match. The problem I have is that iTunes is the only practical way for the touch, so unless they allow Winamp to be used with the touch I will have to stick with my old style iPod. I hope the 4.0 operating system allows 3rd party software to work, if it does then there's a 128Gb iPod touch in my future, if it doesn't then there isn't. The touch actually has two memory devices, so a 128Gb chip allows a 256Gb touch or a 128Gb iPhone. The 64Gb parts are currently going in to mass production, which allows 128Gb touch and 64Gb phones.

If you go by others' reviews of this product on Amazon, even though it claims to be compatible with all ipods, it will not, in fact, charge the 2nd gen Touch or the 4th gen Nano. So it will still play the music but it won't charge it. A dealbreaker in my opinion but it still might be worth it for some.

I have the 3rd generation (new one) 32 GB IPOD Touch. Works great with this unit. Only problem. The IPOD played perfectly with the default dock adapter, but is a little jiggly. I took that adapter out and replaced it with the one that came with my IPOD. I could not get enough clearance. The IPOD wouldn't make the connection - wouldn't play. I replaced it with the adapter it came with. No one else has this complaint. Plays great music. Also, it's my understanding that the 2nd and 3rd gen IPOD Touch are identical physically, so it shouldn't be a problem. To be safe, this is available in store at Target for $79. 90 day return policy.

If you get the new one without the ipod mount in it....then yes ....maybe..for one reason the new one would ...would be because it only takes one usb drive to load on both decks...The old model with the ipod mount would take a usb for both decks inorder to mix ....

Unfortunately it won't work if your iPod has the lightning connector. The docking station has a 30 pin connector. But you could get an adapter. I am going to get an adapter so that I can use the docking station with my iphone 5S, which also has the lightning connector. The docking station is great, and I want to keep using it!

I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation and it plays music on my but doesn't charge it. My guess is it wouldn't charge your IPhone, but it might play music.

I have Ipod touches and it doesn't charge them. Very annoying. Have to pre-charge Ipod touches first or use mp3 cable.
