Can I use my iPod CarDock FM with my iPhone?

Hi
I have a car dock with a built in FM transmitter that I have been using with my iPod video. The iPhone fits perfectly in it but it when I plug it in, it says that the device it not designed for the iPhone. My phone also gets very hot when charging. All other functionality works well although there is a bit more interference on the FM channel using an iPhone.
Do you think there is likely to be a problem using it? Are the voltage and current requirements for an iPod video the same as an iPhone?
Thanks

Thanks for the advice. It's frightening to find this out through as it sounds like I was close to frying my iPhone.
Does anyone know specifically what the iPod video expects in terms of voltage and current compared to the iPhone?
Also, it's surprising how long it's taking for iPhone friendly FM devices to be released. I guess it must have something to do with the possible interference from the phone functionality.

  • Can i use my ipod 7th generation with a bose dock

    can i use my ipod 7th generation with a bose doc
    k?

    All of the Bose Dock I see listed online have the 30 pin connector. The iPod 7th Gen has a Lightning connector.
    So you would need a 30 pin to Lightning adaprt that would make for a rather percarious mounting of the iPod.
    I would recommend against it unless you can find one with the Lightning connector.

  • Can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

    can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

    If you old charger is a USB (+5V output) it will work. If it is a Firewire charger (+12V) then I think it will still work, but Apple has removed Firewire charging from most of the new iPod lines including the iPhone and 4th Generation Nano. However I think that the 120GB Classic may be the last iPod to still charge off Firewire chargers.
    It won't hurt anything to try it. If it doesn't work, you will get a screen display that states that the accessory is not supported or something to that effect.
    Good luck,

    What good is posting in an 8 month old thread?
    In any case:
    There is the Camera Connection Kit which can plug into the iPhone, and has a slot for SD cards specifically.
    Of course the Reader will only work for Photos, and Videos in a very specific format.
    There are of course other alternatives as already mentioned, suich as Wifi enabled drives, and even wifi enabled SD cards that work with a companion App.

  • Can i use 2 ipod nano devices with the 1 itunes library

    Bought a second I pod nano ( both 7th generation) , was wanting to let my daughter use the first one while I use second one but just wondering if I can use 2 ipods on the one iTunes account ?
    If so how do I go about setting up the new one with my iTunes library loaded onto the new one without affection the original one ?
    I use a windows 7 laptop.

    iTunes treats each iPod separately.  Each one is listed separately in iTunes, even if you have BOTH connected at the same time.  Select one iPod and set it up as desired.  Select the other iPod and set it up as desired.

    If I buy the new 30-pin adapter for the Lightning connector, can I use my iPad charging cords (10w) for my new iPhone 5 (5w)?

  • Can I use my Ipod 5th Genereration with Mac and XP at the same time?

    I have a 5th generation. My home system is a Mac my work is an XP. I have all of my music on my home MAc. I want to bring those over and use in the XP environment. Does anyone know if that can be done? When I connected my ipod into the USB on my XP it asked for me to download the software. If I do that will it mess up my Mac interface?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    First, please understand that an iPod formatted on a PC (FAT32), will be able to be read by a PC and Mac. But not the other way round. You have 2 options to do it:-
    1. Do a Restore of your iPod on your PC (you need to install the iTunes and iPod updates on your PC), (it will erase all data on your iPod). Once it has been completed, connect it with your Mac and do an update between the iTunes on your Mac with the iPod. After that please install the 3rd party software e.g. YamiPod on you PC, and use this software

    Copy all the music on your iPod to your iTunes on your PC
    2. Download and install a 3rd party software xplay2
    (which is not free)on your PC, then it will manage to read your Mac's iPod

  • How can I use transfer mobileme to icloud with new iphone 4s and old computers

    I have a mobileme account that I use to sync calendars, contacts, etc between my 3gs, emac, and Powerbook G4.
    (Processor Name:          PowerPC G4  (1.2)
      Processor Speed:          1.67 GHz)
    Just bought a new 4s and want to know if these old machines will work with the icloud?  If not, what can I do to keep stuff in sync?

    Your system don't meet the requirements. 
         iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac      computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date      browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection.      Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices.

  • HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

    Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

    I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.

  • HT1495 I have just purchased a second ipod and have 2 computers can i use one ipod on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks,

    I have just purchased a second ipod and have two computers w7 and xp, can i use one on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks.

    Sorry to ask, how do I do it please. I have my first ipod with the same account on both computers that have different libraries one of which I am building now. Do I have to de-authorise my original ipod on the computer that I want to use my new ipod on with the new library and then register my new ipod. I would rather do this than have 2 libraries on one itunes, but keep the same account details.

    Macs can read Windows formatting so if your iPod was first used and formatted on a PC you should have no issue with using it as a removable hard drive on the Mac: How to determine your iPod's disk format
    Just for reference, iPods formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Mac formatted iPods can only be used on a PC that has a third party helper program such as XPlay or MacDrive installed.
