are you able to play the radio function on the zune while it is on the dock?

Unless you are on top of the radio station it will not have enough reception. Of course the zune uses the earphones for an antenna. I have tried several times to use the radio function while it is docked and have not been successful since the docking station itself has no antenna. Hope this helps.

Bought it for my husband. He uses it to play his music he has on his zune while lifting weights in the storage building behind our house. He said he never used it to play radio stations, but it should work fine. Havent had any problems with these speakers. It's been a great purchase!!

Yes. Sometimes the remote control doesn't always respond on the first attempt, but will after repeatedly pushing the same function.

start playing music on what ever app you choose, like you would if you had headphones plugged in, and it will play through the dock instead of the phone's speakers.

I plugged the Zune Car Pack into the power receptical of my car, plugged the Zune into the Car Pack, tuned my radio to an FM station that was mostly static, then tuned the Car Pack to that station. The sound from the Zune played through the radio. I had to put the tuning box atop the radio for best sound, since the box is the FM transmitter and the closer to the radio it was, the better the signal was. Are you certain the power receptical is working? My radio has RDS capability and the radio's screen displays the artist and track information of the song the Zune is playing.

Since most speaker systems have a 3.5mm in, you should be able to use almost any speakers that are even made for ipods. We used our zune with a bose sounddock for quite some time and it worked well. There are 3.5mm to bluetooth devices that would allow you to transmit to bluetooth speakers (seach for 3.5mm bluetooth transmitter on amazon). I don't know how well they work, but that would allow you use any of all the bluetooth speakers out there. I don't think you're going to find a good docking speakers made for the Zune. Good luck!

The audio will work since it uses a standard headphone jack. If the Zune charges with a USB cable, then you can charge as well

I have not done that, but the product description says you can. I listen to the radio or my ipod on it while I sew.I was thinking of getting audio books to play (on CD), but have not done so. (No pun intended)

Not sure. You should contact Microsoft and your Zune Kicker support for clarification, if they are still supporting it. (Again, MS has NO support for the Zune device anymore, so you can't get help from that end.)

It would seem to me, that without a Zune player in the dock, there is no audio signal to output through the Zune optical output (or the HDMI output either).

No--the dock is not self-contained. You have to attach it to portable or car player unit. Just FYI I gave up my Sirus because of the poor reception indoors. Do your research on satellite radio carefully before buying.

This dock should work for that. It will play through an aux input, and even includes a cable for it.

Yes. You can use your iPod or iPhone to select/control the music; OR you can do it through the radio; OR with the included remote.

I was not impressed with the performance of this product, weak signal along with interference, I really enjoy my Zune player to bad Microsoft dis-continue. try it once and through it in the glove box I believe I will try to sell it on eBay. to answer your question No you do not need aux input, it transmits through your radio.

If you have a newer iPod with built in bluetooth, yes. If you don't, you can buy a bluetooth module that plugs into the audio jack and pair with that (what I do for my Zune).

It depends on the zune model you have. My zune 120 has the headphone jack on top, so I could actually leave them in while it was plugged into a dock. Seems silly to me though to have to leave my headphones plugged in if I want to listen to FM radio. But it is true that Zune uses the headphone jack to get FM reception.

No. i have a factory siriusxm built in. and i use the dock kit in my truck. i also have home dock kit so i can use the radio pretty much anywhere

You can access live content out of dock, but headphone/antenna not that comfortable, so plug in ear buds to output jack of unit
