iPod Docking Station

We have tried using it with both 3G Nano and a 4G Nano. Both with no success.

what type of ipod are you trying it with?

Im getting worried now. Will need to wait for kids to go to bed before I open it all up and try it..... I ordered one for DS1 which I will try tonight. And another one should be delivered by Play anytime now for DS2. Still trying to work out what to do with 4g one for DD!!!

The £17.99 play.com clock radio charges and plays my 4th generation iPod nano ( http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/ipod_nano?cid=OAS-EMEA-KWG-UK_iPod-UK ).

I read about them changing the pins in the new nano, too. But this radio from Play does charge it.

Can anyone recommend a decent docking station for the old (2nd gen?) 4gb Ipod Nano please? The one that looks like this:



Don't necessarily want the cheapest, don't mind paying up to £50 if it's good value for money as it's to be used as a sole sound system

Oh, would also prefer silver or black too please

Try that for your 2nd gen iPod. I have one at work that we play our previous (2nd gen) iPod nano on. It is suprisingly loud for how cheap and little it is. We love it.

Great - thanks for that.....xxx

Cuffie, I have tried to take a photo of my iPod charging for you, it's not very clear but you can kind of see the little lightening bolt that means it's charging.




(I have a photo of the radio but it's too big: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f108/thatswhatithink/100_0324.jpg )

Hope this helps!

Has anyone tried these waterproof speakers/carry case? It reckons they are waterproof enough to use in shower/bath and pool. Sound great if they work!

well i have just unpackaged all the ipod and docking station as you lot had me all worried!!!

i have got the new 120gb classic for little miss divadees birthday and it seems to be charging that ok. If by charging you mean in the corner of the screen a lightening bolt is through the green battery symbol that is.

This is first proper ipod in this house, so dont know if it is ment to flash or anything is it?

Read the feedback. I paid £100 for mine and it's well worth it. Can even play Muse full blast without distortion.

hi guys, I ordered this system last week and received it yesterday. Mine doesn't work unfortunately. The LCD lights up blue but the text can only be read if you read it from an acute angle. After spending 10 mins trying to get it to work with my ipod classic I tried the remote control. This changed the channel on my tv but had no effect on the unit! This is a serious post and I thought I should report this as the system seems to be working fine for everyone else. Thanks for making me aware of the deal but unfortunately I will be returning mine for a refund. All the best Brad

This also happened to me We spent ages trying to get it working. It's now been sent back but, already the cost of postage has been refunded We are now waiting for it's replacement.
