How can I tell if my iPod Touch is a 4th or 5th generation in order to choose the correct FM transmitter for my car?

It doesn't matter, this one works for both. Or any music player with a headphone jack honestly. I recommend it highly, bought it for my friend for her birthday and she loves it.

It does not matter what generation your iPod touch is, this will work with it. This product is really universal so that it will work with a variety of devices. Of course you can buy better FM Transmitter at higher prices if you want to spend the extra bucks but this one should meet all of your needs.

this transmitter plugs into the 3.5 mm audio jack. (same as ipod headphones) so it should be no issue.

It is very adjustable, my iPhone 5 fits perfectly and also my iPod nano (last generation). This transmitter is great, very good sound quality, the mobile device can be charged easily. It's just awesome.

It won't plug in directly since iPod 5th gen uses the new "Lightning" dock connector whereas this radio has the older-style 30-pin dock connector. Apple sells a "Lightning to 30-pin Adapter" for $30 which will probably fit OK in this radio but the iPod will lean back, supported only by the plug on the bottom. Maybe not the best combination.

Yes, the transmitter is compatible with the IPOD NANO 5TH GENERATION. It is very simple to pair up just connect and press the center button!!!

I wanted to know this as well, and as I was going through the reviews one person said: "I purchased two of these, and the LCD display did not work on one. They do not charge an iPod touch (fourth-generation), so if you were planning to listen to your tunes for hours while driving down the road; you had better make a different plan. Hours later, your battery will be dead. On the other hand, the FM transmitter seems to work okay without the plug-in attachment. "

By what do you mean 6th generation? The latest new Ipod touch is the 5th generation

May be a bad device. My car is a 2005 so it should work in yours. I bought 3 and 1 was defective, i exchanged it and the new one works fine. I have used it with my IPOD and iphone5.

I use an iPod touch (not sure which generation, it's a few years old), and it works great. If you have the newest generation iPod/iPhone it may not be able to be plugged in, since Apple changed over to its new lightning dock from the old 30-pin style dock.Overall this is a great boat radio. I use it on a boat in Qatar, and it stands up against the extreme heat, dust, and salt water environment here better than any other boat radio I have used.

Love this radio, but it has the older style plug, do it won't work with new iPhone or iPods.

I do not know which generation Ipod I have (5 years old) but it does function properly except for the charging indicator. My ipod is always plugged in, but when wokeup shows ipod battery is low. This does not affect how I use the unit-basically a storage/playback unit for my cd collection. I think they showed a compatibility chart in the online manual?

Just plug it into your ipod and change the station on your radio to match the one on the transmitter...no app needed

I would contact the manufacturer of the radio, and ask them. Make sure you know what generation your iPod is so you get the right adapter.

Definitely YES. The iPod Touch 4g uses the wide dock connector, and this is the BEST FM transmitter I've found for that generation iPod. 3 CONS: 1. It will not work with the Touch 5g, which uses the small Lightning connector. 2. It will not re-charge itself. 3. It's currently way over-priced. ($35 at most.)

Yes, my daughter has a 5th gen ipod touch and that is why I bought it. It works great. We have had it since Christmas and no problems.

I have a Apple iPod Touch 4th Gen 8GB....so I cant say for sure if it will work. I know the 5th gen is longer but I dont think that would make a difference...what would matter would be the connection to the transmitter to the iPod....if thats the same I would get it.
