Request to allow wireless sync when seated in the dock

wanderson75 · 02-05-2008, 06:44 PM

Hack Name: Allow Wireless Sync when docked
What It Does: Allow Wireless Sync when docked
Tips/Suggestions for the H&M Team: I'm looking for a way to allow the Zune to wirelessly sync to my computer when it's seated in the Zune Dock that's attached to my Home Theatre system. Is it a logic circuit that can be disabled or shorted? Or is it something physically coded into firmware?

HELP!

It does that already, doesnt it?

No, it just connects by itself.

The problem is though, that while it's sitting in the Zune Dock, it won't connect to the Wireless Network because it thinks it's connected to a PC. Anyone know of a way to break that?

.:The zune dock comes with the remote doesn't it?:.

Yes it comes with a remote, but that's not the point.

If it's sitting in the Zune Dock, which is connected to a Home Theatre system, it will not wirelessly sync to the Zune Software on your laptop or home computer. It will just sit there saying "Waiting for Network"

But if I pull it out of the dock and let it sit right next to where the dock is, the sync works fine.

data error in the dock, maybe???

I wish that were the case, but when I contacted Zune support, they said it was by design. Can you guys confirm that wireless sync works while in the dock? This is a v1 dock btw. Sorry if I didn't mention that earlier.
