- Line-out signal from iPod dock connector is disabled
- Apple-supplied USB cables still support charging and music transfer
5th and 5.5 generation iPod
- Headphone jack remains unchanged, and can be used for headphones
- iPod’s internal docking connector now outputs an audiophile-grade signal
- 5G / 5/5G iMods require ALO Audio iMod dock cable*
