Can the I-phone connector at the end be disconnected? I don't need it and it would just be in the way.

Yes, the top two connectors can pop off or back on, or you can leave them attached and just folded out of the way.

As others have said, you can fold it away and not use it but to answer your question directly: yes, you can pop off the 30-pin Apple connector AFTER you disconnect it from the chain. You should be able to pop it off after unplugging it from the chain and then slightly pressure the plastic tabs apart holding it in a groove. You do not have to break it to do this and can easily put it back on if needed. Just please remember to do this AFTER you pop it off the chain of connections, the 30-pin is the first one to pop off when you want to use other connections. Good luck, it's a nice little gadget.

Short answer is no. You could disconnect the power to it. I keep it hidden, but if the need arises, I can reach and hit the reconnect button.

Yes u would need to disconnect at the circuit. It is the only way to send the signal

I have an iphone 4, and have to remove the case so that the connector will connect. It all worked fine for a few months and then the charger died.

As far as I know, this cover and back are connected. I have not figured out how to disconnect.

The only way to charge or use the charging port is with the original iPhone cord. Any other secondary cords or ports won't work. Same thing goes with the headphone jack. The case doesn't allow the room required for these secondary items. You will have to take the phone out of its case to use your ihome

Yes - this should work just fine and has the advantage of making the phone and ID unit independent of each other. Of course many id units have an input to connect the phone line and an output to connect the phone -thus everything is inline. That may work for you as well (instead of using this extra connector).

There's nothing to indicate Apple has anything to do with it. I'd recommend NOTgoing with this one, I'm pretty sure I ruined my ipad trying to solder it together. If you're really convinced to try the repair yourself, get the more expensive version that has the IC and home button already soldered in place. I don't think anyone but a professional could ever solder the connections needed on this one!

Yes, but the connector that goes into the iPhone is cheep and mine came apart after a few months.

Yes, the rest of the components are on your iPhone assuming nothing gets lost when you disassemble (this happened to me).

yes, you would just have the cable (or other wire) loose, then pull it (them) out to connect to device(s). there is also a 90* degree cable "f" connector (female connector) that will provide an almost flush connection as well.

No, you can not detach this cable, however, you can buy a lightning adapter to plug into the old 30 pin connector. This adapter works very well, and I use this exact configuration with my iPhone 5.

Hi, you don't have to take it out of the case BUT the placement on the charging pad must be exact (once you find it by trial and error). Any movement of phone from that found position will stop charging process. So overall, not ideal, but it kinda works....

I don't have it on my phone anymore. I believe it was pretty easy to get on and off. I think you could use an aux cable without taking it off.

There is only about 8 inches from the end of the cables to the "Y" where they split... So if I understand your question: no. you will have to either keep your iphone/ipod in a pocket or pouch next to your radio or buy an extension cable for maybe $5.Reading other people's answers makes me think that perhaps I'm mistaken? Operator error possibly? Or maybe I have an early version?

No it can not be removed and i have been having problems connecting to the device.. Bluetooth volume is low an when directly attached it takes a few time to get it to play. When it does play it sounds great
