It seems I must plug it into my computer with the cord, then it will update my iphone 5s.. Am I missing some setting?

You are correct if you wish to see the data on your laptop. If you wish to see it on your phone, download the app for iPhone (app is open), using your bluetooth connectivity from your phone stand close to your phone and hold down the small button (about 5-7 seconds) on your Polar Loop until you see the arrow on your Polar Loop which means syncing. You will see in about 10 mins on your phone app the pie chart of your activities. Hope this helps you. I have an Android and this is how it works for my phone, should be the same.

If your iphone has standard jack socket then plug in the supplied wire and away you go.I dont have an iphone, look up your specification for size of jack socket.

I have a iPhone 4s that is currently awaiting an ios 7.1 update. I just haven't done it yet. Sorry, I don't remember which system it had when I got it. But if you are concerned about being up-to-date, apple is pretty good about the updates on the software. Hope it helps.

No idea. However, one thing I'd like to point out is that the new add-on smart cord provides you with the ability to link with your iPhone and the app for integration. Might be worth looking into. A hardwire like you're talking about is a nice to have as well.

If you have a iPhone 4s or older then its ready out of the box. If you have a iPhone 5 or newer then you would need to use the cable that came with the iPhone.

when the battery is drain, it will need a couple minutes before you can turn it up by holding the power button (located at the top of your iphone) thie should work, another solution is to connected to your computer (itunes)

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR I-devices to ios 8.0+ I just updated mine a 2 days ago and it no longer recognized the device or "resolution" as it displays on the TV screen. I checked online and apparently it's Apple's way to force us to use their official products, so don't update or you're out of luck because they removed "down-grading" from now on.

Assuming Sony hasn't updated it since I bought this in December, then you will need to buy an adapter for the iPhone 5. I did and the iPhone 5 works fine with the adapter plugged into the speaker dock.

It only needs to be "hooked up" via blue tooth to your phone.I have to reboot my iPhone 4s prior to using it to get a valid result - this is due to the lack of "computing power" in the 4s. I also have an iPhone 5 which has no problems at all.

Same problem here. Recorded 3 songs, did an ISO upgrade, now nothing. Currently running Ipad 2 iOS 8.4.1. I do believe I have a 100$ paper weight. I'll stick this thing next to my other computer trash in hopes someone comes up with a clever fix someday.

Yes it will sync to iphone 5s i am currently using it now. Just try to reset your bluetooth in your iphone and go to pairing mode then pair the device. Good luck

You need a "Lightning to Micro USB adapter" to be able to plug the iPhone 5s to the car kit.

Mine connected no problem to the iphone I have. I just followed the instructions that came with it. I could not get the speaker to charge though so I sent it back. I have an iphone 4s though. Not sure if that would make a difference or not. Maybe the speaker does not recognize the 5 for some reason.

When I plug it, it says it's not "certified" and will not work reliably with my iPhone. It worked for maybe a week. .

i typically sync via the cloud. I just plugged it in through the port and itunes recognizes that it's plugged in - I don't know if you are planning to plug both devices at the same time to sync at the same time. The computer would recognize both but Itunes wouldn't be able to sync both at the same time.

If the pass-through charging doesn't work, make sure you hold the button on the back of the case and turn it on BEFORE you plug the micro-usb cable in. The iPhone 4s version automatically did the pass-through, as it did not have a switch and always charged. I was missing this key step, too and now all is working well!
