FREE iStubz Bundle With Every dockBoss Purchase!

Mar15_2013We’ve been getting into the giving mood here at CableJive, so it might be worth a few seconds of your day every now and then to check for any promotions we’re running. They’re a good way to either save some cash or at least get something extra. Like this one we just started today, for instance:

From now until March 20th we’re giving away a free iStubz Bundle with the purchase of any dockBoss cable from our web-store at www.cablejive.com. The iStubz are the perfect travel-sized sync and charge cable for any 30-pin iDevice, and in the bundle comes not one, but both versions of iStubz (7cm and 22cm lengths)!

We realize if you’re getting the dockBoss because you want to connect non-iDevices to iPod speaker docks there’s a chance you don’t actually own an iDevice yourself. That may be true, but if so, I bet you know someone who does! So at the very least, you get a dockBoss, and you get to give someone else a gift on us. Go ahead, take the credit. They’ll never know it was free. We won’t rat you out. Promise!

samDock: Listen and charge your Samsung phone on your iPod or iPhone dock


Announced at CES 2013, samDock broke ground as the first & only cable dedicated to connecting Samsung Galaxy devices to iPod speaker docks & audio systems. If you’re a Galaxy SIII or Note user, it’s never been easier give your favorite Android device access to the wide world of 30-pin audio docks currently on the market (and getting cheaper by the day!). One simple connection to charge your device and listen to your favorite tunes in stunning quality. Don’t believe us? Check out our samDock video above to see it in action.

samDock Troubleshooting

AudioOutputModeNoteIIOur new samDock cable opens up a world of options for Samsung Galaxy SIII & Note II owners to connect to a variety of high-quality iPod docks and speaker systems for charging, listening to audio, and syncing data. Never before has such a solution been created specifically for Galaxy devices. In most cases it is a seamless, plug-and-play accessory giving you instant access to your docking system’s features. However, we were just made aware of a very particular setting that may be preventing the samDock from working for some customers  right off the bat. The good news is, there’s a simple solution.

If you connect your Galaxy SIII or Note II to a docking station with the samDock and you are able to get charging but not audio, you’ll want to make sure that you have enabled your device to send audio through it’s micro USB connector. To do this, go into the settings menu, click on the “Accessory” tab, and ensure “Audio output mode” is selected with a check mark (see image). On some devices, that “Accessory” tab may be named “Dock” instead, but the menu you’ll find within is the same, and the solution is just as simple. If you have confirmed that Audio output mode is enabled and you still have trouble getting the samDock to work, please don’t hesitate to contact our service department at www.cablejive.com/service and we’ll be happy to help you further from there.

Line Level Audio w/ iPhone 5, iPad Mini & Other Lightning Devices

iPhone 5. 4th Gen iPad. iPad Mini. New iPod Touch and Nano. It’s only been 2 months and the Lightning connector is already here in full force. In the short amount of time since its release, we’ve heard a lot of people asking if there’s a way to get line level audio from that new connector. We were curious of this ourselves up until last week when our Lightning to 30-pin adapters arrived. Thankfully, all CableJive products worked just fine with both adapters, and we reported it here on the blog.

Then we remembered how many people were searching for this specific solution, so hopefully this post helps. Both our LineOut Pro and +USB Line Out Dock cables, when paired with either Lightning to 30-pin adapter, will allow you to get high quality line level audio right from your new iPhone 5 or other Lightning equipped iDevice. If you’ve been looking for this solution, then look no further.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter Compatibility

Now that the official Lightning to 30-pin adapters are out, more than a few of you will be anxiously testing to see if your favorite 30-pin accessories will be compatible with your new iDevices. Well, if your favorite accessories include CableJive products (and why wouldn’t they), then we have some good news for you. We got our adapters in, along with a shiny new iPod Nano, and in our tests we encountered no issues with any of our existing products. So for the legions of you losing sleep wondering if you’ll still be able to use your dockStubz, or any other CableJive product with your new lightning-equipped iDevices, you can now rest easy. Provided you have an adapter, of course.

dockBoss+ iPhone 5 Kit Is Here!


ATTN New iPhone 5, iPod Touch, and iPod Nano Users:
This one’s a biggie…

We were curious to see how our dockBoss+ Female USB cable would behave with the new Lightning connector. So, upon receipt of our iPhone 5 yesterday (yup, we wait just like all of you), we hooked it up to a few speaker docks and made quite the discovery: When used with the new Lightning-To-USB cable, the dockBoss+ Female cable allows you to not only charge your iDevice, but also play analog AND digital audio! (See the video above for a visual demo)

Here’s why that’s so huge: The obvious main benefit here is that this allows you to connect your new iPhone or iPod devices to the huge variety of old 30-pin speaker docks and systems currently on the market. If you have a system you love already, or just want to grab a new one on-the-cheap, you won’t have to drop hundreds of dollars when the new Lightning-compatible docking stations come out. There are tons of killer docking stations that have been released over the years, and now your new iPod and iPhone devices can enjoy them just like the old ones did.

So what does all this mean: Basically, if you have a Lightning-To-USB cable (which comes with all new Lightning-compatible iDevices like the iPhone 5), then our dockBoss+ female cable, in combination with a simple audio patch cable, will give you the capability to charge and play audio through ANY 30-pin iPod docking station or system, regardless if it requires digital or analog audio signals!

So if you were hoping to be able to charge and play audio from your new iPhone 5, iPod Touch, or Nano through your favorite old iPod speaker dock or system, we can help! We’ve just put a package together called the dockBoss+ iPhone 5 Kit, which includes a dockBoss+ female cable and an Audio Patch Cable, so you’ll be ready in any situation. And the best part is, it’s available RIGHT NOW! Let us help you get the most out of your new iDevices and your old iPod audio systems!
