Your Source Of iPod Docks Information
My boyfriend’s ipod has broken, and he also needs a new mobile. He plays his music from his ipod on the docks on our hi-fi’s.
If I buy him an iphone he could also use it as an ipod aswell, but I wondered if the iphone is compatible with the ipod docks on hi-fi’s. Does anyone know if they are compatible? If so which models?
Thanks
you know how in a normal iPod or iPhone dock it has the place where you plug in your iPod. is there like a Bluetooth part that plugs onto the same place as that so i can play my iPod from my dock without it having to have it plugged in?
I ask because I got one the other day and will be getting an iPhone 4S for Christmas. The packaging didn’t mention anything about the iPhone 4S as far as compatibility goes, but I assume that’s just because the dock is older. It isn’t that much older, though, because it’ll work with the iPhone 4. So, what do you think?
I really don’t listen to the radio while I am driving, I listen to my Ipod. My car stereo has an Aux jack in the front where I plug the Ipod double-ended male jack cable into. The other end, of course goes in the headphone jack of the ipod.
The problem lies whenever I want to charge the ipod from the dock connector AND LISTEN to music at the same time. It DOES NOT MATTER if the engine is running or not, but there is line noise coming from somewhere and heard over the car speakers, and I can’t pinpoint it.
The noise sometimes varies in pitch and sometimes it just stays at one static hiss level.
The car stereo is not the problem because when it is playing a CD or on a radio station, there is no interference. I have tried other ipods in the car with the same resulting hiss. The only two causes it could be is the cigarette lighter USB charger (I have tried another cigarette lighter USB charger and I STILL GET A HISS!) AND/OR the USB Charging cord which connects to the docking port of the IPOD to charge the IPOD. But I can rule this out because I HAVE tried other USB charge/sync cables and I STILL GET A HISS.
Remember, I get a hiss regardless if the engine is on or off and the key is in ACC (Accessories).
The only thing I think it may be is that something is not sheilded, like the audio cable which connects from the ipod to the aux jack in the front face of the car stereo.
…Or maybe I am wrong…………I dunno……….
Is it possible to find a SHIELDED 3.5mm double-ended male cable to fit between the ipod and the car stereo aux jack? Think this would help??
Is it possible to find a USB car charger that filters out RF interference??? Think THIS would help??
………Just a note………its NOT only an Ipod problem either. My cellphone ALSO hisses out of the speakers when connectd to the aux jack of the stereo while charging from its OWN charger…
…….Any help would be appreciated………..
Thanks……..

I have a Macbook Pro, and an iPhone 4 with a dock. Is there any way to, while my iPhone is in the dock, type from my computer and have it go to the iPhone? For example, if I get a text while it’s in the dock attached to my computer, can I type the response to a text or something on my laptops keyboard and have it appear on my iPhone?
