Good item all ready got one. It does have some draw backs, it doesn’t work in all docking stations. You know how there is almost flush docks and docks that are deeper. Well it only works with the almost flush docks. I have the viewsonic 22in wide screen with the IPod dock and this will not work with it.

Does anyone know whether this will work with the Contour Showcase for the iPod Video 80g?

Thanks,

H.

This things works great!  I’m finally able to use some of the docks and speakers that I had for my 3rd Gen Ipod.  I have a Contour Showcase for my 60g Video Ipod and it works fine..so I’d imagine that it would work just fine for the Contour Showcase for the 80g.

Considering the Showcase for the 60gb is the same as the one for the 80?  I’d say so.  (she says, looking at the packaging for the one she bought over the weekend…)

Does the wire frame that it leans on ONLY work with the universal docks?  I have an iHome alarm clock and a couple of other off-brand dock-like items that I’d like to use it with.  I know that the wire frame is separate from the small, white extension piece, but I’d hate to only use the white extension with no extra support.

The wire frame will not work with the deeper docks.

In response to teacher24_70’s question:  I must sadly say that the extension does NOT work with the iHome alarm clock.  I bought the extension specifically for use with my iHome, and upon its arrival, no dice.  The adapter itself will work, but the wire support is absolutely incompatible.  I’m currently in the process of trying to create some kind of homemade support backing, so I can use the adapter, and not waste my $30.00!

I got mine over a week ago and promptly used it for an in car Ipod dock for my VW Jetta…

If anyone need the dock adapter or wire frame let me know and I’ll send it to them for free (you pay shipping)!

Yes, the dock extender works with the Contour Design case for the 60/80 GB iPod.  I use it in the Apple universal dock with this case and it works beautifully.

I absolutely love this item!

Just in FYI looks like the dock extender also has problems with FM transmitters as well. I have tried 2 and both cut in out, while using it.

As a follow up to the other comments (thanks to those who responded to my initial inquiry, Comment 2 above) I did get the unit and it works *perfectly* with the Bose iPod kit.
