So i just an iTouch for christmas.. and i used to have a nano. Normally i could just plug in the ipod into the factory cable that was meant for the ipod however when i plug in the iTouch it doesnt find the iTouch. I get the "This will not charge this device" error on my iTouch screen. And then when i press the Ipod button on the head unit it doesnt even say its plugged in...

Questions:

1. So after all that, do i need a new cable the is compatible with the iTouch?

2. Is the iTouch not compatible at all?

3. or am i retarted?

Thanks,
Tom

It says that for my new nano too ^^ but mines still plays no problem...

awr

seeing as how you just got the Touch, i am assuming it is a 2nd generation touch and not 1st?

I've heard some reports that it works with the iPhone/iPod Touch but won't charge it? Does it playback at all?

yea its 2nd gen.. it still doesnt charge but now it plays.. i had to unlock it with the little passcode i set for it. So it plays and i can control it with the steering wheel and head unit but still doesnt charge. battery lasts long tho so hasnt run out on me yet.

Damn!!1 I just got my new 2nd gen Nano 8g and it wouldnt charge!!! I thought it was jsut a fluke but I guess not !!!! Damn why would they change this I LOVED that option!

blame Apple... they're the ones that changed the docking connector

awr

yeah apple kind of screwed everyone on that, the dock connectors in the newest ipods do not work/charge properly with the majority of exisitng docks/speakers/cables out there . . .

i've had a 5th gen video ipod and 1st gen touch that i'll never get rid of because I know anything newer won't play in my TC . . .

it will play just fine
it just wont charge
just get an adapter from Sochee (sp?)
u can get one on ebay for like 20-30 shipped

Theres an adapter you can get at the Apple Store for like $30.

You need this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...X0DER&v=glance

Don't buy it from apple, amazon only wants $25 for it.

I have a 2nd gen touch, radio has no idea that anything is different, works great.

i used to have a ipod video..used to to say scion logo on it when it was plugged in and now i have a itouch and it just says connected to device..both work same

yea.. i like that charging thing. Apple always seems to make you spend more money after you buy a 300 dollar ipod haha. So nice of them.

Yup... the adapter works fine. plug n play.Ipod Touch is now charging again what a pita that was.

Sometimes its a pita to sync TWO ipods every time. But the girlfriend always wants to play with the games on the touch, and considering the nano charges, I just leave the nano hooked up to use for the music and she can play with the touch. Also you only have to take the touch out when you wanna sync it to add new songs. Thats just my 2 cents
