Product Description

With the iPod AV Connection Kit, enjoy the entire iPod experience anywhere. This kit includes everything needed to connect an iPod to a home stereo or television to share tunes, snapshots and movies with friends & family. Compatible with all iPod models with Dock connector. The iPod AV Cable connects to the headphone port of the iPod or the line-out port on the iPod Universal Dock. On the other end, it connects to the left & right stereo input jacks on a stereo, powered speaker or TV and the composite video input on a TV or monitor. The iPod Universal Dock serves as a convenient and elegant home base. It features an infrared port for the Apple Remote. And it works with all iPod models that have a dock connector through the use of interchangeable inserts called Dock Adapters. The Dock Adapters snap into the Universal Dock to provide a snug fit for any iPod with a Dock connector. This package includes adapters for five iPods: iPod mini; iPod with click wheel (20GB, 40GB/U2 Special Edition); iPod with color display (20GB/30GB/U2 Special Edition, 40GB/60GB). New iPods already include adapters for that model, and other adapters are available separately. The Apple Remote combines with the Universal Dock to let you experience your iPod from across the room. When used with the iPod, the Apple Remote offers play/pause, volume control and forward/back buttons. Use the convenient USB based power adapter to charge the iPod and simply plug the adapter into a wall outlet. Dock connector to USB cable connects to the iPod USB Power Adapter to deliver a continuous charge.

Great kit.......2007-03-12

This thing come with everything you need to connect your ipod the craddle is great, i have connected to the TV and Stereo system. all teh other cables work great too.

Great Addition!.......2007-01-09

Like all things Apple this was a breeze to hook up and use. The remote works well, being able to keep the Ipod charged up while its sitting in the cradle is a definite plus. Wish I hadn't waited so long to buy this.

Nice addition to a great product!.......2007-01-09

Although the price seems somewhat high for wires and a small remote, this kit allows for you to use your home stereo like a jukebox and watch the videos on a full size screen. I have found it nice to play the videos w/o draining te battery in the process. I recommend this if you want to expand the use of your Ipod. I did hold back a star because it would have been nice to control the menu of the Ipod from the remote rather then having to go to the unit to go to the next video etc. Overall a nice accessory.

Avoid this one.......2006-12-19

I am a certifiable Apple nut. I absolutely love their products. That being said... Avoid this at all cost. The video feature in mine did not work. The audio is sub standard and the remote is almost useless. You cannot navigate through your ipod at all. Try Kensington 33164 StereoDock.

do it yourself for less.......2006-10-30

Go to radio shack (or amazon of course)

buy a cable which plugs into your headphone jack (and then into the t.v. like an S-Cable /the three plugs, yellow,white,red.)

This will play video and music through your t.v.

Forget the remote. You can turn sound up and down with your regular t.v. remote and other reviewers have commented on the limitations of apple's remote. As for charging, you are going to have to bring the ipod back to your computer for upadates anyway and I'm betting if you are buying this kit you already have a car charger. The ipod doesn't run down that quickly. I doubt it is good for the battery anyway to charge every time you put it down (my old cell phone battery had problems because I never let it run low.)

Cost $10-30 depending on how snazzy a cable you buy. I spent about $15.
Also - I can take the cable and ipod to any stereo or tv in the house conveniently.

Sorry - no sleek pakaging included or snazzy apple attitude included. Just a cable in a baggie. You still have the remaining $85 burning a hole in your pocket? Buy a docking alarm clock stereo for the ipod in the bedroom. You still might have a couple of bucks left over.
