I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike Ipod sport kit. However, it looks like the kit only works with older nanos with the 30 pin connector. What kit or what accessory do I need to utilize the Nike ipod sport kit fuctionality?

I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike + Ipod sport kit. However, it looks like the kit has a 30 pin connector on the receiver and the 7th gen nano is a lightning connector. Not sure if the kit will work. What kit or what accessories do I need to utilize the Nike + ipod sport kit fuctionality in the 7th gen nano? Do I just need a separate sensor and/or a heart rate monitor? Or is there a kit available for 7th gen nanos?

iPod nano, 7th gen

Hey SeanW89,

Thanks for the question. The iPod nano 7th generation has bluetooth functionality that can connect to the Nike+ sensor. You do not need to purchase the USB kit, but rather just the sensor itself:

Connect to Bluetooth accessories

You can connect your iPod nano to compatible Bluetooth headsets and other accessories, including some hands-free systems in newer cars. You can also connect to a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor. iPod nano supports A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for controlling playback on Bluetooth devices.

Note: FM radio will not play through a Bluetooth accessory.

Thanks,

Matt M.
