Audio line out dock (turbo dock) and iphone

[MichaelHo]

Hi all,
I have a turbo dock for my 5G ipod video, which I use to get a line out signal to feed into a portable amp.
Now I have an iphone I was wondering whether I could use this for it? I know that the connector that came with the iphone also fits with the 5G ipod, so will this dock work with it too?

Yea it should work. Best off using the iPhone dock, would seem easier.

yeah I have been using the dock since I've the iPhone but I prefer the turbo dock as it's smaller and the iPhone can be laid down rather than having to stand up. Will give a try and report back.

If it has the same 30-pin iPod connector and it has the same 3.5mm mini-jack line out socket then I see no problems

tried it last night and the turbo dock does not work with the iphone I'm afraid

Even if you put it in Airplane Mode?

haven't tried airplane mode, what happens is when I plug in the turbo dock and connect it to the amp, the music just plays through the loud speaker and doesn't go through the line out.

Will try airplane mode a bit later tonight.

Doesn't work in airplane mode neither. Might pop over to head-fi to see if a new line out dock has been designed for the iphone yet.

It has to be compatible, bit annoying but it's the way it is.
