Ever wish you could connect your iPod shuffle to those “big boy” iPod speakers you own that was made for the iPod nano or full sized iPods? How about connecting an iPod shuffle to a Universal iPod Dock, that is “universal” to all iPods except your shuffle? The iPod shuffle is a great value at $79, but locks you out of some iPod accessories, especially speakers.

Enter the Griffin Dock Adapter for iPod shuffle $19.99 US available online or your local Apple Store. This slick little device does one simple thing, it allows you to connect your iPod shuffle to made-for-iPod speakers. In my case I wanted to play my iPod shuffle in my iPod ready vehicle that ONLY sports an iPod dock connector.

The Griffin Dock Adapter for iPod shuffle is a small adapter that is shaped on the top to fit into dock connector most speakers or docks made for full-size iPods. Plug it into your iPod shuffle’s headphone jack and your shuffle is now fitting in your iPod speakers.

I used mine with my second generation iPod shuffle. I see no reason it would not work with the current iPod shuffle that Apple is selling.

To play your iPod shuffle after inserting into a iPod speaker you slide the mode switch to the right, audio position. To charge your iPod shuffle slide the mode switch to the left, charging position. Note not all iPod speakers can charge your iPod.

Worked just great with my iPod shuffle in my car, in my Altec InMotion Speakers, and in my Apple Universal Dock.

The Griffin Dock Adapter for iPod shuffle is awarded 5 out of 5 Paws
