I bought this, and I have a 2008 scio xb, ipod touch and ipone 4 does not work on it. Old style hard drive ipod works perfectly? WHY?

We just discovered this problem yesterday, as we bought this unit and the new 80GB Classic. Unfortunately Phyllips has printing NOTHING on the box or in the packaging to indicated that it only works with 5th generation I-Pods. Nice Christmas suprise for my daughter!!! We are planning to return the unit - do you know if anyone makes a unit like this for the 6th generation Classic?

Make sure that your iPod has the latest software update via iTunes. Then this will most likely work (99% sure - never 100% sure w Apple). More important though is for you to get a better pair of earphones. Be careful - some brands are extremely bass heavy, designed mainly for rap music. Also these earphone controllers are.a little fragile. I have owned 3 or 4 of them. Only one broke. But usually I never break anything. Overall I LOVE this device and recommend it highly.

The only iPod that has a hard drive any more is the Classic. All others use flash memory. That's why they can make them so small.

I does not work with anything newer than the ipod nano 3rd generation. I bought an ipod nano 4th gen but it did not work in the iGroove. I still use the 3rd generation keep it in the iGroove which is in my garage for when I work on projects love the player it sounds awesome.

It works fine with mine, but I do not have the latest ipod connections. My wife bought a new one the plug is different.

I'm afraid I had the same problem, a 5th generation iPod that fits into the adapter that wasn't recognized. I never got it to work. I ended up having to get a refurbished 6th generation iPod, which does work.

Nope. Found that out AFTER I bought the player. :( I put my ipod on it and it says on the screen "This device is not supported by the current something or other...." something like that.

You have to compare de part where you connect the HardDrive to the Ipod. Is in the upper part of the photo the black part in the center. Hope It helps.

I had same problem, IPod touch gen 4. Tried almost a month but worked only twice...most of the time it just sits there reminding me to shut off wifi. Fixed problem by sending it back to Amazon for a full quick refund and then ordering the Bad Elf 1000 unit instead. Now I have reliable GPS on my gen 4. Problem solved.

It's kinda like the difference between buying a 2009 Mustang GT and a 2010 Mustang GT. Yea the new body lines and refined interior are nice but it's a performance car. They are bought to perform well. So, if you plan to use your Ipod to play music or watch videos, good news. The first generation Ipod touch is going to do it with plenty of style. If you absolutely have to have built in speakers, a couple other bells and whisles, and like to be the guy or gal who has the newest and best of everything then the second or third generation are for you. :)

i have a large Classic that lives out of site in the car.I also have an iPhone and touch that I use for calls/games and development (respectively)iTunes 8.x makes managing multiple iPods much easier than the old versions.

Who knows. Compatibility with this is shady at best. I still have never been able to get my iPod Classic to work!The extension might be a problem, because the unit closes, encasing the iPod.Try and return, that is my advise.

I drive a 2011 Honda CR-V and so far haven't been able to find a model that will work in it. I have the 5th generation Shuffle and when I tried to plug it in was told that my vehicle didn't support the format. I know this hasn't been much help as I'm not sure what year model car you drive. I'm assuming that my car would need a much older model iPod since none of the three MP3 players I've tried have worked. I hope you find something that works for you!

Unfortunately not, my Ipod had the same problem, I have bought a MK1634GAL disk drive, but it didn't work due to the conectors are not the same, the conector of the MK1634GAL doesn't fit .

I have not seen nor heard of your situation before, however, making sure you have the right size does matter. Also be aware that there is a CHANCE that video playback will NOT be an option. I don't know what all you know, but I got a good amount of reliable information from IFIXIT, here's the link: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod+5th+Generation+%28Video%29+Hard+Drive+Replacement/607
