3.0 out of 5 stars WARNING - not for all iPods with video, February 25, 2008

If you have one of the newer video iPods (Apple is marketing them with the label "Classics"), they will not work with this product.

Apple has inserted a chip in the 30-pin connector that prevents you from using anything other than Apple's video connector to push the video out to another screen.

Third party vendors can purchase the technology from Apple to enable this in their products for a price...

So unless you have one of the OLD video iPods from 2-3 years ago, don't get this product.

This system does not work with 5th generation 30GB ipods either.
I contacted the company about my problems (the video only showed in black and white) and was told this is "an Apple" issue not theirs. But NO where on the box on on this description does it say not compatible with 5th generation 30GB ipods.

BEWARE!

This review is from: Audiovox D8000IP 8-Inch Portable DVD Player with Built-in iPod Video Docking Station (Electronics)

We purchased this DVD player for the kids to use during the extensive traveling that we tend to do. It worked really great at first: decent enough quality viewing, good compatibility with our old iPod, the DVD tolerated lots of bumps on the road without skipping, etc, etc. However, it is sort of a low-quality build overall. The hinge on the cheap plastic cover that closes on the DVD itself inevitably snapped off at the hands of our toddlers after just 3 months of use. The DVDs will not play if it senses that the lid is open: we can't figure out how to over-ride it and trick it into thinking it's closed, so it's now use-less. When calling Audiovox to fix this cheap little lid the cost to fix was quoted at $99 plus one-way shipping. Clearly not worth sending in, so now we have to buy another one. Lesson learned: overall, this is not a tough and sturdy player for use by children! Adults only, and gentle at that! But if you aren't a rough and frequent traveler, it would have otherwise been great!
