iPod Nano 5th Generation compatible? Does anyone know if this JBL Speaker Dock is compatible with the newest model of the Apple iPod Nano, the 5th Generation?

According to the Apple experts NONE of the new iPods (the ones with the USB connections rather than the firewire connections) will charge with current JBL docked speaker systems. They will play, but not charge. (as of June 2010)

Both of these work with the newest iPods for a similar price - will both play AND charge:http://store.apple.com/us/product/H0680VC/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY (iHome iA% app-Enhanced Alarm Clock)http://store.apple.com/us/product/TX391ZM/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY (Philips SBD7500 Portable Speaker Dock)Hope that helps. ;)

According to Griffin's website, this is not compatible with iPod nano 4th generation. Mine just arrived and I've yet to open the packaging, but the box shows compatible iPods and the nano 4g is not listed.

Yes, I have a 3rd generation nano and it works fine. Look on the Vann's website (the supplier of this product) - they have more info. But it says there that this is compatible with all dockable ipod models. I recommend it!

No, this doesn't work on all generations. I had bought the new apple ipod nano slate 7th edition and it doesn't have dock compatibility. I know for a fact that it works on the older ipods like the 3rd generation. Just make sure your ipod has dock compatibility the newer ones don't seem to.

Manual states it is compatible with iPod Nano 3rd/4th/5th generations + 6th generation with some limitations on remote functions. I've only used it running output from a portable CD player thru the auxiliary input. So I suspect the basic speaker function could work with non-compatible models even if the charging function and remote did not. Sound quality is excellent for the price as others have noted.

This speaker is compatible with all ipod's that have the 30 pin connector. (Except the ipod shuffle, which it doesn't sound like is your concern anyway...) If you were get a newer ipod that has the lightning dock, you're going to have to connect it through the aux (auxiliary) port which won't charge your ipod like the 30 pin connector will. This is actually a pretty good sounding speaker. It runs on plug in AND battery power which is good. It's a pretty nice consideration if you're looking for an inexpensive ipod dock and if you're able to find one on the Amazon Warehouse Deals, you can usually save yourself a few bucks.

Any older dock will do fine with the ipod nano 16 gb. I have an ih4, which is really old, and it worked with my ipod nano 4th generation. If you upgrade to the ipod touch 2nd generation however, think about getting this model. Anyways, to make my point clear, ANY OLDER IPOD DOCK WILL WORK WITH THE IPOD NANO 4TH GENERATION. And to answer your primary question, yes, I would think that if an older ipod dock is compatible with my ipod nano 16 gb, yours would be fine with this dock. But check other sources before you get this model. I'm just guessing bassed on common sense and past experiences with ihome. Any older dock will do fine with the ipod nano 16 gb.

If you use a link cable from the speaker of the IPOD to the Speaker Dock, and insert it into the port of the docking station on the back, then push the input button on the Speaker Dock, that should work. (It is the same cable/wire you use to connect your IPOD to a car's stereo system.) There is a port on the docking station that allows you to hook up other devices to the docking station and use its' speakers. Otherwise, I don't know.

Tough one. If the nano works, the dock works. I'd suggest the issue is not with the dock, but with your ipods. Do you have anyone nearby that has one you could try? That would prove it one way or the other.

No it does not. It will not because the 5th generation iPod has a totally different charging port. However, if you get an adapter that will change the type of charging port, it will. I don't suggest doing that though because it seems like a pain to have to put that on the dock to use it. You can use it as only a speaker with an auxilery cord, but it won't charge the device. Hope that helps! :)

Hi Sam. You can connect the iPod nano (6th generation) since it is using the same 30-pin dock connector.

I went to the JBL website and looked up this dock. The info on it dated back to 2009 (product info/owners manual) before the iphone5 came out. So the question is whether the iPhone5 has the same gizmo at the bottom to dock with anything the earlier versions could dock with.

It should, as long as it uses the thirty pin connector like the iPads up thru 3. The supporting arms won't fit however, but a nano won't need the support. If a nano won't fit the dock connector, you can still feed the JBLs thru the headphone jack and the rear stereo connector ,,, 1/8 stereo, male both ends. That's how I run my iPad anyway cause I use a different IK stand.

The users manual states that this system is compatible with the iPod touch 1st & 2nd gen models. I tried it with my 4 gen model and it does not work. Too bad because the system sounds wonderful. Anybody else have this issue?
