Features

dockBoss5: The Cable Jive dockBoss5 is an adapter that converts 30-pin iPod dock stations into a universal charge station with audio output. The dockBoss5 is compatible with any 30-pin iPod dock system and all portable audio devices with a micro-USB connector and 3.5mm headphone jack.

Connectivity: The Cable Jive dockBoss5 consists of a 30-pin to USB/3.5mm adapter, 39" microUSB-to-USB cable, and a 39" stereo minijack audio cable.

  • Dock Adapter: The 30-pin to USB/3.5mm adapter plugs into your 30-pin iPod dock system and converts the 30-pin dock connector into a USB port and 3.5mm minijack.
  • USB Charging Cable: The microUSB-to-USB cable plugs from the 30-pin to USB/3.5mm adapter to your compatible smartphone's microUSB connector in order to charge your smartphone's battery.
  • Audio Cable: The stereo minijack audio cable plugs into the 30-pin to USB/3.5mm adapter and the headphone jack on your compatible smartphone for audio playback.
Note: Your iPod 30-pin dock system must output a 5V charge in order to charge your smartphone's battery.
