Apple has yet again changed their charge method for the most recent iPod nano. After plugging a Gen4 Nano it into my Gen1 iPod adapter (the version hidden in the secret compartment), the device promptly turned on and told me that charging was not supported. The device works normally, but does not charge.

Does anyone know if there is an update to the Gen1 Mini Ipod connection, or if there is adaptor to route the power to the new pin input? The USB version is not an option since I have a 07'R56 without the USB connection. I suppose I could just stock up on older generation iPods that work and be set for life, but I am wondering if there is another solution.

Check amazon and others for a cheaper price.

 

That looks good, I use a Scosche Passport, but that's kind of long and awkward. That nano with that attached hardly fits in the secret compartment, and I'm afraid the leverage will break something sometime.

 

Thanks! Obviously, I need to work on my google-fu.
