With the iPod AV Connection Kit, enjoy the entire iPod experience anywhere. This kit includes everything needed to connect an iPod to a home stereo or television to share tunes, snapshots and movies with friends&family. Compatible with all iPod models with Dock connector. The iPod AV Cable connects to the headphone port of the iPod or the line-out port on the iPod Universal Dock. On the other end, it connects to the left&right stereo input jacks on a stereo, powered speaker or TV and the composite video input on a TV or monitor. The iPod Universal Dock serves as a convenient and elegant home base. It features an infrared port for the Apple Remote. And it works with all iPod models that have a dock connector through the use of interchangeable inserts called Dock Adapters. The Dock Adapters snap into the Universal Dock to provide a snug fit for any iPod with a Dock connector. This package includes adapters for five iPods: iPod mini; iPod with click wheel (20GB, 40GB/U2 Special Edition); iPod with color display (20GB/30GB/U2 Special Edition, 40GB/60GB). New iPods already include adapters for that model, and other adapters are available separately. The Apple Remote combines with the Universal Dock to let you experience your iPod from across the room. When used with the iPod, the Apple Remote offers play/pause, volume control and forward/back buttons. Use the convenient USB based power adapter to charge the iPod and simply plug the adapter into a wall outlet. Dock connector to USB cable connects to the iPod USB Power Adapter to deliver a continuous charge.

My husband bought this for me yesterday as a gift and had to return it the same day because it didn't work. Video wouldn't work and the remote didn't work at all. The second one wasn't much better. The remote worked somewhat (not that we really need it, but still) and it did play music through the TV, but still no video. That one is getting returned tomorrow. Very disappointing.

I recently purchased an ipod touch and wanted the dock kit to connect it to my home theater system. I also purchased the component cable in hopes of getting a better picture. The dock in this kit does not work with the ipod touch and the component cable I bought separately. No audio or video would play when the component cable was connected to the dock and the ipod in the cradle. I did get audio and video when the touch was connected directly to the component cable. Make sure you have one of the specific ipods on the box for this kit.

Even if I did have a supported ipod, I might have returned this kit because the component cable by itself connects to the home theater system and charges the ipod with the included AC adapter. The only thing it doesn't do is stand up the ipod. With the new ipod touch and iphone, it doesn't seem like this dock is "universal" anymore.

I love the sleek and snazzy box and packaging this connection kit came in: I have it proudly displayed on my sound system shelf and it matches & blends so wonderfully with my components. Same with the pretty, white cables (color-coded, too!!!) that came with this kit: they're also proudly displayed alongside the fancy box.

As far as the actual connection parts and remote that CAME IN THIS BOX, well, I don't use them, because they make life difficult for me: poor video, so-so sound, and useless remote functions. But hey, isn't there always throwaway junk in most packagings? with this kit it just happens to be the APPLE-DESIGNED CONTENTS !

But not to worry: I LOVE the beautiful, well-made, understated-design of the packaging SO MUCH that I decided to keep the purchase and just be glad that it wasn't as expensive as my actual iPod, which ALSO came with killer packaging & box.

At least there are still other companies out there with products that provide decent value for the money and fill in all the many shortcomings of these iPods.

This thing come with everything you need to connect your ipod the craddle is great, i have connected to the TV and Stereo system. all teh other cables work great too.

Like all things Apple this was a breeze to hook up and use. The remote works well, being able to keep the Ipod charged up while its sitting in the cradle is a definite plus. Wish I hadn't waited so long to buy this.
