Overview

With the iPhone 3G Dock, you get easy access to a USB port for syncing or charging and an audio line out port for connecting to powered speakers. You can even conduct speakerphone calls with your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S in its dock.

Here are some ways you can use the iPhone 3G Dock:

  • Connect the dock to your computer with the USB cable that came with your iPhone 3G, then place your iPhone 3G in the dock to sync and charge the battery. No more reaching behind the computer to plug it in.
  • Connect the dock to an electrical outlet using an Apple USB Power Adapter (included with your iPhone 3G), then place your iPhone 3G in the dock to charge the battery.
  • Connect the dock to a stereo or speakers using an AV cable or a stereo audio cable to play music from iPhone 3G.
  • Place your iPhone 3G in the dock and enjoy clear audio during speaker phone calls thanks to special audio porting.

    Must Have Accessory - Why Wasn't It In The Box, Apple?
    • Written by FN from FRASERBURGH
    • 14-Jul-2008

    At the weekend, I went into town to TRY and find an iPhone 3G which I wanted so much. After much trailing round the various O2 and Carphone Warehouse shops I eventually found one... Great!

    So, I took it home, opened the box and started having a little rummage around and what did I find? Well... everything apart from a dock. I know how useful these docks can be, my sister owns the first generation iPhone and its serves its purpose as a great little stand for using while at the computer (it saves the back getting scratched too!)

    I had to get one. So back into town I went, and (luckily) the Carphone Warehouse had them :) It's a sturdy piece of kit which is deceptively heavy (in a good way) and you won't find yourself worrying about if it is a safe place ti keep your phone.

    All-in-all, a must have for iPhone owners... But it should have been included in the box!     …More

    No AV out from this dock
    • Written by GB from CAMBRIDGE
    • 31-Jul-2008

    Warning - I bought one of these and a new Apple Composite AV cable to dock and connect my iPhone to an in-car entertainment system for audio and video output. The cable on its own works great but the dock BLOCKS both the video and audio outputs from the 30-pin connector on the back so nothing works.

    On the Apple website it does say that video output is not supported from this dock, but mentions nothing about blocking the audio from the 30-pin connector too! And neither the store staff nor the packaging told me any of this anyway.

    I have no clue why Apple would not just pass through the 30-pin connection from the phone to the back of the dock, but they don't. Apparently the Universal Dock does allow AV through, but then it does block the microphone and speaker on the bottom of the iPhone so it's useless for speakerphone calls - and it will cost me another £10 for another power adapter I don't need (got one with the phone and one with the AV cable so far).

    So that's £50 spent on two accessories which don't work together but are both 'compatible' with iPhone 3G, and fail to do the job a £2.99 cable from Maplin would do if Apple hadn't encyrption-protected the AV output on the iPhone.

    Not great, and I speak as a long-term Apple fan.     …More

    Useful but should have been included with phone
    • Written by SW from BIRMINGHAM
    • 13-Jul-2008

    It is simple and practical. If you spend large portions of your day in front of a computer then the dock makes perfect sense. When your iPhone is docked, it is still fully functional and easily viewable at a quick glance (and it will be fully charge when you need it on the go.)
    Whilst I personally feel that is should have been included with the iPhone (ala first gen iPhone), I can think of worse thing to spend £19 on. Non essential but highly recommended.     …More

    You cannot use this product if your iPhone has a cover - you must remove the cover before you dock the phone. As a result it immediately becomes an inconvenience, rather than a useful piece of equipment. However, mine looks super stylish in its' box. …More

    Very Good!
    • Written by RR from Southampton
    • 31-May-2010

    I bought this when I got my iPhone with the thought in mind that I can only use it for charging and syncing. Then I found out that you can actually use it to play your music when you connect it to your cinema sorround system, and voila, best sound came out! Saved me money from getting myself a docking station just to be able to play my music. It's a must have gadget if you don't want anymore bulky gadgets to play your music if you already have a sound system. …More
