it will work with any Ipod or mp3 player you just plug it into the headphone jack, it does not charge the device

Not sure what you mean by "charge" in this case. This receiver supports "Air Play" which will allow you to use your iPhone to play music through the receiver. I believe that the iPhone 5 is supported. I have a 4S and iTunes seems to support this as well. I suspect if you have the latest version of iTunes (which you need for your iPhone 5 IIRC) you should get what you want.Ignoring all of the above, if you are asking about using the USB port to charge your iPhone I have no idea.

The ports are mini UBS and headphone jack. I have only used the headphone jack, as the jack on my ipod is incredibly touchy. I have never used the UBS port, so I'm not sure, but I would assume it would support a connection to an external DAC, not sure about the charging. I find most of these devises do allow for charging despite the ipod flashing a message that the device does not allow charging.

I'm not sure if an older ipod would fit onto the charger part, it did come with some adapters but I'm not sure which ones. It almost definitely can at least play music from an older ipod because there is a cord that can go into the headphone jack. So yes for playing music, not sure for charging.

Yes, you can.. but it can only be plugged using the AUX jack (USB doesnt work for ipods)

Only if it is connected to an outlet. If it is running on its own battery it will not charge your iPod.

Yes, the cable charges whatever you have connected to it. However, the cable will only seem to play my ipod and not music from my iphone. If you plug your iphone to the cable, it will charge, but seems not to be compatible with playing music from the phone library.

I haven't tried to play music through usb yet, but it does come with a headphone style jack for music input, and I can confirm that the usb port will charge devices. I should get some .wma and .mp3 files and try then on my phones external storage setting...

Yes. It will connect via bluetooth if your iPod has it, or via your iPod's headphone out jack if it doesn't. The cable to connect via the headphone jack is included.

No. If you plug in the usb cord to the device it charges it but you still need an aux cord to play your music

It will if you plug it in with an auxiliary cable, but then it won't charge. It's really designed for old iDevices. If you just want it as a transmitter (not a charger) and don't mind the little iPod charging cable hanging off the bottom it will work fine.

You can charge all iPods with 30 pin connector and it only has a 3.5mm jack that will play music only from other products but will not act as a usb charger. Thank you

I charge my Galaxy S5 with it. I am sure you can charge ipod if you have the right cable.

from what I can tell...no the usb only provides you with charging abilities. you can insert a sd card or use the 2 way head phones plug thingy tu play virtualky any mp3 or ipod. very low static and clear sound. I am still very hapoy and have since bought one for the boyfriend.

Ipod port but you can connect via headphone jack. However, your device will not be charged as it plays.
