Customer Reviews

Adapter Issues
For the many folks who have had issues with the IM414 not having an adapter for your 80gb Zune, I contacted Altec Lansing directly yesterday and was told that they do in fact now have this adapter and will ship it to you free of charge. I contacted the company at alteclansing@custhelp.com and they were very quick to reply with a solution. Knowing this, I've now decided to purchase the item because the reviews of the sound are great, and this adapter will resolve the only negative aspect I've seen about this product. Hope this helps you folks!

Does not work well with our Players
We have a Zune 4 and a Zune 30 and this system doesn't work well with either. First off, one has to jam the unit down hard and wiggle it to get the units to connect to the dock. You can see the charging indicator come on when it is finally connected. It comes with an adapter for the Zune 4/8 but not the 30 or 80. They say in the instruction manual that the adapter comes with the Zune, but that isn't true. So expect a wobbly fit with the Zune 30 or 80. I imagine that that will eventually damage the connector on the unit or the Zune.

Second, the unit doesn't play unless the unit is playing while it is being connected. If the unit is sitting connected in the dock and you press play on the remote or the unit, nothing happens. You can see the song playing on the Zune, but no sound. The Zune is connected because I can see it is charging, but nothing. I can wiggle, turn it on/off, use the buttons on the remote, on the unit itself, and on the Zune and still no sound. If I take the unit out, then start playing, then push it in hard, it will start playing. If I then turn of the im414 and turn it back on (with no other action), the Zune, once again, will not play. I have to take it out, turn it on, and put it back.

Both units have the latest software (I checked and both Zunes are showing as being up to date).

The unit, when playing, sounds great. It just doesn't work well and seems poorly made. I haven't able to get in touch with customer service because of their limit hours.

Good sound from a little package
This audio system is small in size, but the sound is actually pretty impressive. Decent bass and volume, big enough to fill my bedroom in sound.

My 8gb Zune fits in the dock fine. I don't even need any adapter or anything.
