Can I take my Play:5 and iPhone to an electric outlet in the middle of nowhere and play tunes from my phone on the Play:5?

Yes, it has a line in option. You'd need the line-in cord. Not remembering now whether it's just the single plug earphone out to line-in plug or a typical analog L/R cord.

I believe you would need to take the bridge, the play 5 plays off the bridge. The bridge is the brains to all the music.

You need to charge separately. I will play while simultaneously connected to electricity to charge

You can but I would not recommend it because the bottom of the phone actually supports it with the connection and I don't know if the adapter will help support the phone properly. But to answer your question the five pin adapter for the iPhone five will give it the bottom connection capacity as iPhone 4 or 4s, so you should be able to play your music without a problem.

You should be able to, but you would have to play the music from your computer or through Air Foil. Mine stopped working right, I never heard back from the manufacturer and I am unable to update the firmware.

Using a lightning to 30 pin adapter, you can use the dock to play your iphone / ipod - but that adapter will not support simultaneous charging. Playing Music = Yes. Charging your device while you are playing music = No.

Yes. Use either Aux or one of the line inputs. Then play everything through it.

Yes, you can play it while plugged in. It actually plays quite a bit louder. It should be charging depending on the volume .

The charging connector is for iphone 4 and older, so no charging or music in the dock. You can still play music through the headphone jack and cable. There is an adapter available for the iphone 5 and 6 but at least last time I checked it allowed charging but no audio.

Yes and No it does not support an iPhone 5 because it has a 30 pin adapter however you can work around this issue. You can use an auxiliary cable. You would connect the cable to headphone input on your iPhone 5 and then connect the other end to the audio in jack on the speaker system. Or you can buy an adapter that you attach to the old 30 pin connector the new connector is at the top of the adapter and you simply attach your iPhone 5 and then your music will play through your system. Auxiliary cables are the cheaper option you can find them for around $5 where as the 30 pin to lightning adapter runs around $30.

I haven't personally tried that but it's a standard USB jack I plug in my iPhone cord and play my songs from there but to answer your question, I don't see why not.

You can get an adapter on Amazon. However, you won't be able to play music or set up your Ihome with that adapter. You'll need to use an iPhone 5 or below to do that.

I have a 5, and yes. As long as you have bluetooth enabled, it will connect automatically. It will play from where you left of as long as you haven't closed out that particular music app.

Not without the adapter that makes other older cords and plugins work. This means that the iPhone does not rest as securely in the dock. You can still use one of the 3.5mm input ports to get music in but you lose the ability to charge the phone.

Yes, as previous response says, the speaker has a 3.5 mm line-in audio jack so you can play music from any device that has 3.5 mm audio out. So you can play music from anything that supports a head phone jack. Note that it does not have an iPod/iPhone dock so it doesn't charge your battery and speaker remote can't be used to control audio player.

If your phone has Bluetooth you can play it through there.most phones have it now.

Hi! It is actually powered by the device it's plugged into. Works pretty well too; comm between iPhone can go a decent distance away from this device and still play your tunes.
