AV Cable for 30 Gig Video iPod: I have the 30 Gig video iPod and was wondering if these cables would still work for me?

What you've probably seen is that the cable is compatible with "5 G video iPod." 5 G stands for 5th Generation, which includes the 30 gig video iPod, so those cables should work with your iPod.

I've used my 30GB video ipod for 7 months and it works. I recieved an adapter for it.

I'm having the same issue. I have an Ipod 80GB classic. I tried to use it, and couldn't get it to work after following the directions. The audio plays, but not the video. I called Philips support and was told that Apple was blocking the video on the Classic. I called Apple and was told there was no issue of which they were aware, but I should try an Apple retail store. In short, everyone wanted to pass the buck. It's a shame because the unit is very nice, but if I can't use the Ipod feature with the Classic, it's not very practical.

I also workout with the 30GB ipod, and I never had any problem. I also use the eVo3, it has a clip and protect the ipod very well. Just bought the same combination as gift.

You are wrong about the larger ipods not being ale to play books from sources other than Apple. I get two or three books a month from audible and they work great on my 60g ipod. The bookmarks work and I have no trouble at all. I have 69 books (including Atlas Shrugged at 55 hrs and The Fountainhead) and every album my wife and I own and haven't hit 15 gig yet.

That's a good question and not an easy answer. The best I can do for you is to recommend you print the picture of the cables and then look at your iPod very closely and see if it has the recepticles suitable for the plugs on the cable or contact any apple store, I'm sure they'd know.

Yes...a little too late. Today, I talked with Apple Retail Store technician in person. I wanted to test something. If you plug the Ipod Classic directly into a TV using a component or composite cable, it works. It just isn't compatible with the Philips DCP 750/37 model. Unless there is a firmware fix from either Philips or Apple, it seems this device won't be working with the Classic models anytime soon. And...it seems neither company is doing anything...at least nothing that anyone with any authority is willing to say.

Apple says yes, a 30 pin cable will work. (I looked on Apple site to be sure) If you look at the Apple store's 30 pin cable your iPod is in the list of compatible products. You just save about $12 buying it here.

I bought this unit, based on the responses that the Ipod connector is the older 30-pin type. ITS NOT ! Its the new Lightning connector. So if you have an older Ipod (like I do) better find a different unit, or find an adpater. Because this one is absolutely the Lighting-type plug.

I don't think it works because this cable is USB not the iPod cable. I believe you will have to look for an iPod cable

The max I have used is a 32 gig. I also noticed that the instructions states it supports mp4, but that's incorrect. I can only get avi to play.

I just wanted to make a quick correction. iPods can certainly play 192kbs files (and higher) as well as Apple Losseless, unprotected mp4s and a few other things I've probably forgotten. The iTunes store, at this moment, only sells 128 kbps protected AAC files (though that should be changing soon) which may be the source of the confusion.

iPod Classic? I'm afraid that won't work. The Classic line has no video out or other computing capabilities. It is just a media player.

No it will not the cable is designed to go from auxin out on the iPod to 30 pin in on the stereo. The cable only works if the stereo doesn't interface and just passes sound through. What you are trying to do is the opposite which is take sound out through the 30 pin in through aux. This wouldn't work anyway as the 30 pond on the cable and iPod is a female connection you would need a Aux to 30 pin male

I have used the latest version of the iPod Classic (160 GB) with it and it works fine. The iPod doc is the type with multiple slot adapters to help hold your version of iPod (very much like the Bose iPod Speaker system as well as others).

The iPod USB Cable will work just fine but you'll also have to plug in the audio jack to the headphone port on your iPod. I have full control of my iPod with this method. At least it works for my KIV-BT901.

Kate-Check out Altec Lansing's website - according to them, the iM7 has a 'universal dock' that accommodates any 'dockable iPod' - including the new iPod video. I think the product literature was printed before the video iPod came out, therefore its not being mentioned there. I have a 30Gig iPod video, and this is the speaker system I'm ordering for it - can't be beat for the price! Good luck!
