Dock your iPhone 6®,  iPhone 6 Plus®, iPad 4®, iPad mini® or 5th generation iPod touch® directly on the iDL100.

With an Apple portable, the USB port gives you the same functionality as you do through one of the docks. That means your connected Apple device can play through the iDL100's speakers. And you can use the port with any Apple device that has a USB charging cable — even current models with Lightning connectors. You can also use the USB port to charge other makes of smartphones, tablets, and portable devices.

The system features a built-in FM tuner. Whether listening to the radio, or to your docked iPhone, you'll hear clear, full sound. Wake up to your favorite radio station, or your favorite music source from one of your docked devices — from music files, to apps, to Internet radio stations.

Q
Does anyone use the OtterBox Defender series and will it still dock?
brian c.  Jan 19, 2015
3 answers
A
No. You have to remove the OtterBox to use the dock. Because it is difficult to remove the case, I charge it using a lightning cord attached to the rear input.
stephen r  Jan 19, 2015
A
I haven't found any case that can remain on the phone while being docked.
william  Jan 19, 2015
A
I do and it will not fit. I also tried using the usb on the back and it worked one time then said was not compatible. Good radio other than that but the usb should work for the price. My zoogue case works with it and much better case than otter anyhow

Does the time display stay lit up all the time or does it go into sleep mode? Thank you, Pete

A
It does stay lit, but you can configure the brightness in the iHome app. It's not annoying at all when it's dimmed.
stephen r  Jun 02, 2014
A
The display on the iHome has 7 brightness levels that are adjustable. One setting turns the display off.
jason  Jun 02, 2014
A
The time display on the iDL 100 stays on and its intensity can be changed. Whether the time displayed on the Pad/iPhone goes to sleep is a function of the app used to display it.
alan  Jun 02, 2014
A
Thank you all for your assistance. It is important to making a decision on purchasing this product.
hugh  Jun 02, 2014

You can dim it all the way to off. There are several levels.

hi, the time display stays on the entire time it's plugged into the wall. it may dim, but that depends on how you set it.
lloyd  Jun 02, 2014
A
It has many levels of brightness from full on to full off. You must press the snooze button to change it.
robert d  Jun 02, 2014

Time stays lit all the time on a brightness setting you can vary.
