I just recieved this as a gift and my 1st iPod. I love the design but nothing will charge this unit. I have a new Pioneer Elite AVR with Pioneer input with iPod input. My friends older unites will all charge with everything. I just went and bought all new connectors and chargers for the house and car but none of them work. The stores had no clue. What a waste. Back it goes and I will get something else.

This thing is a disgrace. I hooked it up to a Bose system. To get any sound I had to turn up the volume very high. The hum sound generated by the Belkin was so bad, listening to any music was impossible.

After installing, the dock simply did not work. Not with a nano 2G, not with a nano 4G, not at all. After 3 attempts, I was able to get a scratchy signal to the receiver. The right channel was ok, but the left channel could muster only about 20% of the right’s amplitude. (I verified the connection to the receiver and ipod were functional with my previous set-up.) I am an engineer with 15+ years of experience in manufacturing electronics, and I suspect that Belkin is cutting corners on quality. Too bad, because now I am going to buy anything but a Belkin unit.

Dock works great and looks good. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because you cannot use the power adapter and have it connected to the computer at the same time. You can either sync it to the computer or charge it using the power adapter. The dock I use with my Creative Vision:M does both. You just pop it in the cradle to sync and charge at the same time.

I’m sure this is a pretty obscure concern, but I got this dock primarily so I could use my iPod touch as a bedside alarm clock using the iPod’s internal speaker. Unfortunately, the internet speaker is disabled when it’s docked! I don’t have any speakers to plug the dock into, so I’m out of luck.
As I noted, I can’t comment on the multimedia features due to non-use.
I have one little qualm about the build quality.. The USB power adapter seems fidgety when it comes to staying on. If it moves in the outlet, it will often simply turn off. Not a deal breaker, but it’s something you’re gonna want to watch. Other than that, it feels/looks really nice and does what it’s supposed to. Dunno what else I can expect.
