can I use this with my iphone? Why would I need the quick disconnect cable as the first reviewer mentioned? It's $26! Thanks

You can use it with your iPhone as long as you get a 3.5mm adapter. This is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000COKYXM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Although it was a little cheaper at the time...

This cable is for connecting an Ethernet cord to a computer that doesn't have an Ethernet port (for example a MacBook Air) via the Thunderbolt port. I'm not sure what you mean by 'Iphone hotspot'. If you mean that you're using your Iphone as a personal hotspot, you will a cable like this except with a lightning male end instead of the thunderbolt.

Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone. I simply connect to the speaker via bluetooth, and then stream music all day. It doesn't matter if you play music from your phone, ipad, ipod, (itunes) or any other device. I also, through bluetooth connectivity, play music from Pandora and Slacker. All said, this is a fantastic speaker for desktop use at home or office. It has great sound from such a small device. The battery last for quite a long time as well. I hope this helps you. I am getting ready to purchase a second speaker for my girlfriend to use at her office. Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone.

Actually no, you'll need a adapter cable which is sold trough Amazon or your local apple store. Hope it helps.

I just used my standard lightning cable and plug it directly into the USB port on the unit. Works beautifully for MOST things.With the recent IOS updates, most APPS won't mirror to the Pionner's screen, but things like Pandora, iPod, and Phone still work flawlessly with it.I use an iPhone 5S with this stereo and am very happy with the combination. :)

Not sure. I'd read in different posts that 'standard' interfaces did NOT work, but I'm just not sure. I opted to buy the OneTouch cable FROM OneTouch and everything works fine. I suppose you could give the other a try. If it doesn't work you're only out $1.10 - and I'm sure you could find a use for that cable. Then just buy the overpriced OneTouch cable and you're done.

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.

Yes and no, it has quick disconnect and allows many different plugin's(purchased separately). One of the end attachments is a usb for computer, a 2.5mm and 3.5 mm for cell phone, just to name a few. I bought a 3.5mm attachment for my iphone, for about $15, works very well. This unit sounds great, but if you have a big head I could see it being a little tight after several hours on your head.

I use a quick disconnect because the cord does not reach very far and to plug it into my phone another cord is needed. The end of the headset cannot plug directly into a phone.

Well, I've never tried an iPhone through the USB slot - but the "iPhone/iPod connectivity" that is advertised simply means an audio cable plugged in at the headphone jack. There is a little iPod holder on the side if the unit. And there is a little cable that you plug into the audio jack. That's it. Not evn a charger!

i have the same problem. it doesn't work at all "this cable not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone"

I see no reason why not. The Lightning cable is what's actually being plugged in and there's plenty of room front and back to accommodate many types of cases. It's flexible, and there's no electronics as a part of it, except perhaps the audio plug which I put in the down position so it doesn't engage (I use Bluetooth.) There's not much to go wrong. My iPad Mini Retina is in the dock charging right now, normally my iPhone 5. I imagine an iPad Air will work also. In addition to the Lightning cable, an appropriate power adapter will also be needed - as stated in the ad. The way it's built it's taller than I'd like,and the metal base is held on by a magnet and will sometimes come off when disconnecting the phone from the plug, but it easily reattaches. It does the job for me. If it's not as advertised, return it. I doubt you will need to.

It may require a programming update (just use the included cable to connect to your PC and download updates), but recommend checking with Delorme to be sure. Their web site may have some info under the device or in the FAQ. Mine works great with the iPhone 5, not sure about later software/phone versions, but I'm sure they'd want to keep customers returning after phone upgrades. Their customer service is great, they answer emails very quick.

No, you can not detach this cable, however, you can buy a lightning adapter to plug into the old 30 pin connector. This adapter works very well, and I use this exact configuration with my iPhone 5. Look at this link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0097BEG08/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1373142902&sr;=8-2π=SL75

There is only about 8 inches from the end of the cables to the "Y" where they split... So if I understand your question: no. you will have to either keep your iphone/ipod in a pocket or pouch next to your radio or buy an extension cable for maybe $5.Reading other people's answers makes me think that perhaps I'm mistaken? Operator error possibly? Or maybe I have an early version?

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Does NOT work well with iPhone, November 12, 2007 By cafehenri "cafehenri" (New York) - See all my reviews If you are like me, looking for a headset that lets you control your iPhone, listen to music, and answer calls without taking the iPhone out of your pocket, this is NOT it. I am sure this is a great headset with other devices, but NOT with iPhone. It pairs to the phone, but not the ipod on the phone. I found out after buying this product that it's because Apple's bluetooth support is pretty weak. When pair with a Macbook Pro, everything is in mono (not stereo, wow, amazing Apple support of bluetooth). From reading online I found out it's not the issue with this phone, but Apple's lack of support for wider bluetooth products, but still, I wish the product description would have said "doesn't work well with iPhone at all."

This is not a certified lightning connector but it works with most iPhones. A certification would add $20 to the price. You can test it and use the money back guarantee if it doesn't work with your Phone.
