I have old iPod model 1121 speakers
that I have not used for many year but want to use them with my iPhone 13.
when I connect them via the cable the audio on the speakers play for only 1/2 second and the stop.
why and what can I do to allow my iPhone to work with the iPod speakers?
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 26
Your iPhone 13 cuts off after 0.5 seconds because the iPod hifi expects an authentic 30-pin digital handshake or a proper analog line-level input. Using uncertified lightning-to-30-pin adapters or improper cables often triggers an impedance mismatch or power protection block, causing the audio to shut down immediately.
Try this
Use the 3.5mm Aux Input: Plug a standard 3.5mm-to-3.5mm audio cable into the audio input port on the back of the iPod Hi-Fi and connect it to your iPhone using an official Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter.
