I bought a JBL On Stage IIIp for my iPhone in the hopes that I had finally found a good docking solution that actually worked with the iPhone. So far, my experiences have not been that good.
The product has been reviewed for it's feature set in many other places – I was attracted to it by the fact that it was a speaker set that supported the iPhone, and had a small amount of menu control via a small remote.
I mainly use it at work so I can have music while working, and not have to contort my hand to get to the menus while it's in the dock – hence the remote requirement.
So far, the following is happening, and I can't find any resolution:
- No matter what album/artist/playlist I select, it only ever plays one song in an endless loop. I have to hit the next button on the remote, or on the iPhone.
- 80% of the time when I dock the iPhone, it spits out the usual "this accessory is not compatible with this iPhone – would you like to go into airplane mode". Power cycling the JBL usually gets rid of this.
I'm going to keep searching for a solution, but I'm not confident I will find anything based on my initial results…
