How does this unit charge? Does it have a seperate micro-usb port to charge? or does it charge only from the 30-pin connector? Also, have anyone tried to connect this unit to a car using a 30-pin to USB cable in the car? My car has a usb jack, and a...

This unit can ONLY be charged thru 30 pin apple cable, no micro usb. I use it to make my old apple dock become a bluetooth speaker. you can also use 3.5mm audio cable connect to other device and make it a bluetooth, it rely on internal battery.

This has a charging cord that plugs into an outlet. However, this is not your regular mini usb connection. It is a pin charger that inserts into the device.

The charging directions say "connect the larger USB plug to a powered USB port, such as that on a computer." Being a tech dinosaur, I don't know if the one in a car is powered. Maybe visit their website www.ihomeaudio.com and pose the question.

It comes with a standard USB cable for charging. I have charged it in my car and using a USB wall adapter.

Comes with a USB Charger only, which for some reason does not charge the device in my car, but does charge through laptop. But I haven't tried to check in the other car.

Actually it is a simple question. I've used it with my IPod 5 and my flip phone with a miniature USB The Charger has a USB Jack and a miniature USB. The USB Jack is for any cord which has a USB plug. Plug it in , then press the little white button. A green light will show and you're charging!

What do you mean? You just plug in the case like you would your phone. The phone and case need to charge separately. I thought I could leave the car on the phone and charge both but that doesn't work.

You plug the 1.5mm jack (or maybe 1 mm jack, I don't know I haven't measured) into the FM transmitter and USB into car charger, or PC or wall charger and it will start charging. but you gotta have FM transmitter plugged in. It charges your iPod. The FM Transmitter runs off the ipod's battery.

It's both, really. It's mini-USB with a mini-to-micro-USB adapter. It works, but it (the adapter) doesn't stay in very well, which is not optimal for using in a vehicle. It definitely works in a pinch, but probably not the best choice for your primary charger. Using strictly as a mini-USB charger, however, it does great.

I cannot answer for sure, I do know It charges every USB device I own which is a wide variety, AND QUICKLY. I recently ran into this issue for iPad attachments on the Car charger I reviewed, it would not charge...I really like this wall unit besides it's basic design flaws. It's ability to charge USB devices fast has been invaluable to me. You remind me, I need another.

It uses a micro-USB port to charge... so I have been able to use any number of different micro-USB chargers... If you want me to measure the current required post a response.

The USB is powered, so if you connect this to your stereo per the instructions (by connecting to the rear USB and auxiliary connections on your stereo), the USB will charge whatever device you plug into it. So, if you need to charge your iPod, for example, it will charge. HTH

The way it comes out of the box you halve to charge with the USB. You can buy a charging adapter from Amazon. I had a suitable charger that has the same wattage, so I didn't buy one. Either way of charging works great.

There is s mini usb port on the side of the charger. Plug into that to charge the unit. It took me some searching on the internet to figure this out also. I think I've answered this question here before also.

Is the battery attached to the car still? I had a simular issue when trying to charge the battery while still connected to the vehicle terminals. Also non optima batteries have different charging instructions listed in the book. Did you look at them or just the default instructions?
