Advice on iPod dock please

FrasierCrane

I'm looking to buy an ipod dock for my nephew. He's getting a new iPod for Christmas so I'm going to get him a dock to compliment it. I presume he's going to get a new Ipod so I asume it will have the new smaller connector.

The dock I was going to buy is this one from Amazon

The refurbished one works out about €20 delivered so is perfect price.

I assume I will need to get an adapter for the new generation iPod to work on this???

Will this do the job?

I would be cautious about the adaptor. I purchased a similar one to use with my 5S and original apple 30 pin USB cable but the old 'This accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this device' message popped up and adaptor was useless. It would probably be less hassle to just get a dock with a lightning connector on it. Unless you go for a certified Apple adaptor which is about €20 I think.

You can see from the reviews of the adaptor that some people have had this issue with it.
