Query: Requires a USB cord for charging

This device does play your iPhone through the radio, but you have to use a separate USB cord to do the charging. I would suggest finding a device that only requires one plug-in instead of two.Also, I read from an expert that you can actually use third-party accessories designed for recent iPod models with the iPhone. When those devices are used, you might get this message: "This accessory is not made to work the iPhone" or "This accessory is not supported by iPhone." It will then give you the option of putting the iPhone into AirPort mode. But you can ignore that option, or you click yes.I didn't realize before ordering this charger that I could use the DLO charge and player that I have for my 5th generation iPod. I get the message that it was not made to work with the iPhone, but it actually does with no problem.
