Does anyone know if the lightning port on this case supports USB audio? ie can you plug it into an iphone 5 compatible speaker dock?

Hi Mr. Leather, I have the Zuzo Powerbank too. I have not tried to use a USB audio plug, as I use the main earphones that came with the Iphone. I believe you could use the speaker dock, if you had a regular plug that fits the Iphone earplug. Sorry, I could not be of more help. Bikeblue2.

I have a Pioneer stereo in my truck that can play music from my iPhone using the usb cable. In order for me to do that with this case attached, I have to press the power button on the case (so that the phone is being charged by the case). When I do this, I am able to play music from my iPhone through the stereo's usb cable.

I have not tried this. My guess would be it does not. Another issue is the lightning port is off center so it might not work well in a docking station.

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 love this player, but I use the speakers. It has great sound. Maybe you could plug you earphones into the iPhone or iPod directly, but I've never done this. The new iPhone 5 has it's ear plug connector on the bottom, so I don't think you could use ear phones when the 5 is docked.

not in the docking station, but it has an aux in that will work with the iphone 5. Only downside is your phone will not charge unless you get the iphone adapter

We purchased a CableJive DockBoss which is an adaptor plug and our iPhone5 works great with the Bose SoundDock. Available via Amazon~

Thanks for the question. Most cases fit on the dock with no trouble, there is enough space for almost any thickness case, e.g. Otterbox cases fit fine. However, depending on how your case is designed, the audio and USB plugs may or may not fit through the case. In most instances it's OK, but if your case has unusually small openings for the audio and USB ports it might be a problem.

It will work. You could either use a USB to lightning charge cable or a 30-pin to USB, but only with Apple's lightning to 30-pin adapter. The other ones currently are not providing a DAC to convert the digital audio from the iphone 5's lightning port to analog. They will charge only.

Yes and yes. The lightening end of the charging cable goes into your iPhone and the USB end into the IDO. So simple yet makes my iPhone 5 sound like a $5000 CD player. Seriously!

Dear friend,the cable cannot transfer any audio, even don't work for any audio dock. it is for usb 30pin cable data and charge only.

No. It won't work with the new lightning port. It does have a aux cord plug in the back of it though so you can plug up anything to it.

The port on the dock itself is a Lightning port (there's also a headphone jack). You'll need a USB A to Lightning cable (not included).

No the iPhone 5 has a lightning connector and this speaker uses the 30-pin which was discontinued after the iPhone 4S

I don't know the answer and best to direct that towards the vendor. I do know in my configuration, it does work (Sounddock 1 with iPhone 5). What you need to be aware of is they sell two types (one powered, on not). If you have an adaptor to convert lightning port to 30-pin female), you can test what you need by docking your iPhone 5. If it charges it, you only need the receiver. If it doesn't, then you probably need the powered version. Hope this helps, and again your best bet is to just ask the vendor with your specific setup.

Assuming Sony hasn't updated it since I bought this in December, then you will need to buy an adapter for the iPhone 5. I did and the iPhone 5 works fine with the adapter plugged into the speaker dock.

I use this cable with an external hard drive loaded with music. It's not made to play music off of a phone. You need a different cable for that. I have a separate cable that connects to the dock connector on my iPhone 4S. I don't know if they make a cable yet for the Lightning connector on the iPhone 5/5S.

As the iPhone 5 and Sounddock III both have 8-pin Lightning connectors this Bluetooth music receiver with a 30-pin connector would not be appropriate. This receiver has an Apple 30-pin connector and should work fine with any Dock that has a compatible 30-pin connector for an iOS device that is also able to charge the device. The Bluetooth receiver gets its power from the Dock. I've had no problem with either a Bose or an iHome dock. In fact, it goes between the two Docks without having to re-pair the BT receiver. It works slick, keeps me cordless and mobile.
