ok, so i hope this is the right section for this, it’s kind of a random question.
i’ve been working on my car’s audio system for a good while, subs, amp, speakers, etc.
i put in an aux. imput, that is for an ipod. i am trying to make this weird hole in my car into an ipod docking station. this wont be too hard, i have a good idea what to do for it.
the problem is i want to make it a telescopic cable, because i don’t want it to have to sit in the dock the whole time while changing music and everything. i’ve been looking, and am yet to find a telescopic ipod extender. i haven’t even found a regular extender for less than 40 bucks. i don’t mind paying that if i can make it telescopic. is there a good way to do that? or maybe just have a spool that it can wrap up on. make it telescopic that way?
does anyone know the best way to do this, and if there isn’t an easy/cheap way.
or if you have any other ideas to do with this.

Ok so I was on a school trip where all different schools go to a university/college for a week to see what it would be like if we went there, & we got our own dorms and everything.
Anyway I was good friends with this girl who went to my school who was going on the trip too and i already knew to her cause i talked to her quite a few times at school and stuff & she used to run up to me and randomly hug me sometiems :L we where not CLOSE friends but good friends and she was always really nice to me at school and stuff & I’ve always thought she was one of the nicest people ever. But one night when we where both locking our dorms ( we where next door to each other) she said to me, ‘Oh you dont have to lock it, they lock by themselves when you close them’. ‘And I was like oh.. Well im just going to use the key to be safe anyway, haha 
’ cause I had like my ipod docking station :L which my parent would kill me if i lost it. Anyway I thought maybe she was telling the truth so I checked later but my door definetly did not lock by itself, if i just closed it i could open it again right away. Another thing is it was her birthday a few nights later so to celebrate me her and a few other girls where in her dorm she went to another room and told us when we left just to close the door on our way out, so when we all left I was the last one and I closed the door and went to my own room. The next morning she was asking shocked, how her room managed to lock when she had the key, she then started to talk about how it was freaky her door locked itself and her room must be haunted or something. Anyway If her door like she told me auto locked when you closed it, why would she be freaking out if that was true? :S
I know all the facts are there saying that she was trying to steal from me… but It’s just so hard to beleive shes always been so nice to me.. but I guess you can never trust anyone, what do you think?

I have this exact iPod docking station that I use with my iTouch…
http://kitchendinner.com/img/Electronics/sony-icf-c1ipmk2wht-speaker-dockclo.jpg
Problem is, one day it was working..the next I went to put my iPod on it to play and it wouldn’t and still won’t play out of the speakers. I’ve tried unplugging it, turning the radio off (the radio comes on when I put my iPod on it), and pushing various buttons to try and reset it or something to make it work.
I’m not too sure what I did to it?!
Anyone else have similar problems with this iPod docking station? If so..how did you fix it? Thanks!

I have a ipod docking station, I also have 2 large speakers (impedance is 8 ohms). The docking speakers are not loud enough or clear enough however, it does have 2 RCA out ports (audio, white and red). My speakers have standered speaker wire. I know that there is positive ans negetive on RCA but don’t know how to deal with it. Also when I stripped the RCA there was another set of wires in each one (inside they were cased again). I know I can go out and by converters, but is there any way to do it my self?
The docking station has speakers that go pretty loud but not loud enough for a party i might have
my son has bought a new ipod touch and I was wondering if it is compatible with an ipod docking station??

Thanks for your replay
Hi I am trying to buy a ipod docking station with speakers.
Thanks in advance.
Docking station which is compatible with iphone too.
So I have an iPod docking station with small speakers and low volume, but I need more sound so they can be used in the locker room. The docking station puts out un-amplified sound through a standard 3.5mm jack in the back. I also have two 8ohm speakers that need amplified sound, these have nothing but frayed speaker wire for input. I am looking for a solution for under 0 bucks that will produce sufficient sound and I could easily hook a sub woofer up to if I decided to get one.
For X-mas, my mom got me one, I thought it was really good. When I put the iPod in, and played the music, when the light for the iPod turned off then there was an annoying white noise thing coming out of the speakers. Then like two days later the problem fixed itself. Now the problem is back, but with more problems, and I didn’t do a damn thing to it. Before, the Ipod thing turned off when I pressed the button to turn it off, now it stays on all the time. Also, one of the other buttons I have to keep down or else the radio will constantly play. The only thing bad I did to it was actually breaking the antenna for the radio, but that was today, and the problem’s been for a while, and that was a surprise for me since I barely even touched it. I thought it was really expensive, but then I asked my mom and she said it cost , I don’t know, is that really cheap for an Ipod Docking Station? I hate when she gets me cheap versions that don’t work…

I seem to only be able to find them on eBay but I’d rather buy one on an online store rather than eBay. My new 5th generation Nano refuses to work in my The Sharper Image iPulse iPod dock for some reason. The 2nd generation works fine in it, so I’m a little confused. Anyways, I’m in need of a new iPod docking station that lights up.
I have a Creative Zen M Mp3 player and want to buy a Philips SBD8000 iPOD docking station, and was wondering if it would be compatible, can anyone help?
Hello!
I purchased the Altec Lansing M602 iPod docking station last Christmas from Radioshack and it worked very well– up until about a month or so ago.
Whenever I turn on the dock, there is this interruptive ticking noise that comes from the speakers.
When the iPod is plugged in and playing off of the speakers, the ticking noise will cut off the music.
For example: "Birds come– *tick*– flying at the– *tick*– speed of– *tick*– sound– *tick*."
THOUGH!
Sometimes the speakers work perfectly without a ticking noise.
Today I used them for about 20 minutes without interruption– and then the ticking began.
Anyone know what’s causing this or if there is a way to fix it?
Thanks a lot!

There is no built-in clock, haha.
I think there might be a shortage in the speakers?
If you buy an iPod docking station with speakers that are open instead of ones with mesh over them and it gets dusty does it play worse and do they get dustier quicker and break easier.
Thanks.
I want to know which one to buy.
Hi there, im currently spending quite a bit of money, and was wondering what to look in for an ipod docking station, detailed features as such..does anyone know? if so could possibly post some links?
Regards, Matt.
I am going to buy an iPod docking station and I would like a good one around or under 0. I would like it to charge my iPod when it’s docked, for it to have good sound quality, and to be reliable and not break easily. Any suggestions? Thanks so much.
i know its in the wrong section. i just need answers.
