Watch iPhone/iPod videos, movies, and photos on your TV with the Dexim AV Dock Station


 

If you want to watch movies, or TV shows that you purchased for your iPhone or iPod on your living room television, how would you do that? What about YouTube videos, a photo slide show or even iTunes music through your television? Today we look at the answer: the Dexim AV Dock Station with Remote Control for iPhone and iPod.

The Dexim AV Dock Station is probably the easiest, least expensive way to view all of the above mentioned material on your television set while charging your iPhone/iPod at the same time.

The package is quite complete; it includes everything you need to be watching your iPhone/iPod in minutes, here’s what comes in the box:

  • AV Dock Station (dimensions: 5" x 5.5" x 2")
  • Remote Control
  • AV Cable (3' 11" cord)
  • AC Adapter (3' 11" cord)
  • 8 Apple Dock Inserts

 

 

It only takes a few minutes to set-up and it’s really quite intuitive to do so:

  • Attach the AV cable to the TV, this is a composite video cable with yellow, white and red RCA jacks
  • Connect the AV cable to the back of the Dock
  • Place the correct dock adapter into the dock (they are clearly marked)
  • Insert one battery into the remote control (two batteries are supplied; nice)
  • Plug the AC adapter into the wall and the dock

That’s it, total set-up time is less than five minutes.


 

Conclusions

How does it work? Great. It, as mentioned above, lets you watch videos, tv shows, movies, play music and watch slide shows of your photographs. Quality of the output is quite good for all and you will really be amazed at how nice your photos look on your large screen tv. It's really a great way to do "slide shows" and share your pictures with friends and family. While you're watching all your great content the dock is charging your iPhone/iPod.

The AV Dock is of an attractive design, made of good quality materials and looks like it is built to last. The remote has a range of a stated 26 feet and based on our testing that seems accurate. The AV Dock is both certified "Works with iPhone" and "Made for iPod".

The Dexim AV Dock Station with Remote Control for iPhone and iPod sells for $69.95 from RichardSolo. Keep in mind that a similar solution from Apple will set you back about $100. Due to its functionality and build quality we think the Dexim AV Dock Station is a good value and well worth buying.
