IPOD 2 Car Adapter question

I have a Peripheral iPod 2 Car adpater installed in my car that I used with my G4 iPod. It worked great and flawlessly with the G4.
This week I bought a 16g iPod Touch and, although it works with the adapter, the iTouch stops playing music about every 2nd song. Sometimes re-hitting the play button starts it again and sometimes not. The Touch works without problems on its own so, it must be something with the adapter.
I've also noticed that the iTouch seems to get quite warm to the touch when plugged into that adapter..
Can anyone tell me if, in fact, this particular adapter is not fully compatible with the Touch??
(I have the 1.15 firmware -- not the 2.0)
Thanks.

Yes, you can use it to charge your new iPod.

  • 12v Car Adapter

    I picked up a generic iPod 12v car adapter at The Source (formerly known as Radio Shack) since I thought that the dock adapter on the nano was compatible with other iPod models.
    When I tried it, the nano went kinda nuts, then a screen came on that said something to the effect that the accessory attached to the dock connector is not compatible.
    So... did I just get a bum adapter, or does the nano require some kind of "special" power adapter. Interestingly, the car adapters on the Apple Store site all seem to be compatible with all iPods (except Shuffle), including the nano.

    Yes, it's this one:

  • Connecting 80 GB iPod to USA Spec Car Adapter

    I just brought an 80 GB iPod, after being the satisfied owner of a 20 GB for several years now. I've also been using the USA Spec Car Adapter for over a year now to listen to my iPod in the car. The big problem now however is that the 80 GB seems to be having compatibility issues with the USA Spec, specifically the 1.21 software version of the 80 GB. I get no sound, and the iPod screen blips between the menu and the "OK to Disconnect" prompt. Does anyone know how to remedy this? Will an upcoming iPod software version address this problem? HELP!
    (If it matters, I also had Windows Vista installed on my computer. Could that be an possible contributer as well?)

    *Wrong cable? It says it is good for 5G but I don't know if that is the ipod I have*

  • IPod won't turn on except in car adapter

    I have an Ipod with colour display and a Road Trip car adapter. The Ipod works fine in the car, but won't turn on when not in the adapter. I can't reset it or do anything outside of the adapter because it simply won't turn on. Note: Battery is fully charged (when in the car).
    I tried resetting it when in the car adpater, but that didn't work.
    Any ideas?

    No. I have tried to cables - and confirmed they work on another Ipod.

  • IPod touch in car adapter resets every time I start my car when plugged in

    I have had an iPod touch since April 2008. I have an iPod adapter in my Audi A4 and I plug my iPod into this adapter and it plays through the speakers. When I had software version 2.0 the iPod worked great - I would be listening to a podcast or a song and when I turned the car off and back on it would pick up right where it left off.
    However, since I installed version 3.0 onto my iPod it is resetting the iPod everytime I turn the car on. If the iPod touch is in the adapter when the car is started the iPod will reset and play the first song in my song list instead of what was playing when the car stopped or whatever was playing when I plugged it into the adapter and the car was off. Now I have to unplug the iPod just prior to starting my car to avoid resetting the iPod to play at the first song in the song list. (It doesn't reset the whole iPod, it just doesn't know what was being played and it goes to the first song in the alphabetical list of songs).

    This is part of a list of known issues with Iphone OS 3.0. There are several posts both here in these forums and in the ilounge forums commenting about lost functionality with factory car adapters after the upgrade.
    you will need to wait until 3.1 comes out to see if these issues get fixed.

  • Opinion question: best car adapter?

    I'm thinking about getting a car adapter for my mini (the thing that transmits thru the radio, if it's called an adapter)...does anyone have any opinions about which one is a good buy and works well? I have a cd player in my car with AM/FM and while I love that (birthday present to myself last year!) I'd like to be able to use my mini for long trips as well.
    Thanks!

    Monster's iCruze is the way to go if your car will accept it. I'm having 2 issues with it right now: Monster seems to have discontinued it and there is no longer any support on their website, and the cable that connects the iPod to the iCruze becomes damaged even with normal and careful use.
    But as far as sound quality is concerned, you won't beat it.

  • Volvo car adapter 5th generation Ipod problems?

    Has anyone experienced problems with the new 30gb video ipod and the volvo installed ipod car adapter ? I used to have an older ipod. The one with the four red buttons. 3rd generation? No problems. The 5th generation seems to freeze up, and the ipod gets stuck on pause. When turning off the engine and then turning the car back on. Sometimes it works fine. Other times it freezes. The one benefit for others who have this adapter, Is when it freeze's sometimes the screen will say "Charged" instead of "ok to disconnect" at that point you can use the ipod itself and do not have to use the playlists on the radio, which is kind of great!!! Is this a fluke? or has anyone else noticed this. I'm guessing maybe its a problem with the pin set up in the new ipod. My old one used a firewire cable the new one uses a usb.

    thanks for the quick response you think that I can do with the display or would you advise me to repair it at a dealer can be. On eBay the cheapest diplays captured here in Germany for 13 €, and I've already some viewed videos in youtube and trust me the matrimonial to because of warranty, I can not anymore and I do not want to matrimonial so much money to pay for the repair because I I paid for the ipod itself is only 65 €.
    I have noticed is that it only shows up when the brightness is if I set to display from the display always works perfectly
    thank you a lot

  • Volvo car adapter with iPod

    Recently had Volvo car adapter for iPod installed. Worked great, including the ability to use the scroll wheel to access songs/ albums beyond the nine operable from the steering. Then I updated with 1.2.1. Now I have no scroll wheel functionality at all in the car. The iPod works fine when not connected to the car, and all nine playlists can be accessed when connected to the car. Just would be nice to be able to use the wheel as well, especially since it did work prior to the update.

    I'm having a similar problem. It will play from the steering wheel, but I only get about 7 song then it locks up. The problem is version 1.2.1. I was able to re-load version 1.1, but now I have all the problems with that version. I agree, it seemed that version 1.2 was almost perfect but since they have iTunes upgrading the iPods now, you can't just re-install version 1.2. It can't find anyone with an answer or anyone from apple offering a good solution. The older version is almost as big a problem as the newest version.

  • IPod Power Adapter Question?

    Hey well i just bought this ipod power adapter but the thing is that what else do i need because when i try to connected my ipod's 5G charger that came witht the ipod it wont fit but the thing that i want to know what else do i need to use this charger?

    when i try to connected my ipod's 5G charger that came witht the ipod it wont fit
    Sounds like you purchased the iPod Firewire Power Adapter, instead of the iPod USB Power Adapter.
    If you want to keep the power adapter you purchased, you'll need to also get a 6-pin Firewire to Dock Connector cable.
    Otherwise, you could return the power adapter you have and exchange it for the USB power adapter and use the cable which came with your iPod.

  • Charge and listen simultaneously while using car adapter?

    hey everyone, so i realize that the itrip for nano is out, but yesterday while i was at target i found a little wee device called a "VR3 modulator" which was only $20. a steal compared to $60-70! ... it sez its fer all mp3 players and can be compatible with ipods! it has a usb port and an audio port. if i plug it into the audio port, itll play the music. if i plug it into the usb port, it'll charge. my question is: "is there any way to do both *at the same time*??" i know i can do both if i connectmy ipod to my mac (all i do is trash it and itll charge and play)... but when i connect to the usb port i get the "do not disconnect" image on the screen. theres no "trash" to send it to, so am i just forced to do either one or the other? ... am i gonna have to give in and go buy the griffin itrip or that one that (i thinks) is a belkin?

    Strange sort of car adapter. I use a Monster iCarPlay. It plugs into a power port in the car (what used to be called a cigarette lighter) and connects to the nano's dock. It contains an FM transmitter that allows me to pick up my nano's music on the car stereo. Yes, it's more expensive. But it lets me charge the nano while I'm listening to my music.
    Sometimes you get what you pay for.

  • My iPhone 4 won't work with my car adapter but all other iPhones do. What's wrong with mine?

    I have an iPhone 4 ad I have a car adapter that says it is compatible with my phone. Every thing else works fine with the adapter. All different kinds of iPods and anyone's iPhone that I try on the adapter works except mine.
    Could there e something in my setting that isn't letting my music play? What could it be?? I honestly dot know what it could be.

    Could be a problem with the contacts on your iPhone's connector.  Try cleaning the contacts using compressed dry compressed air, blowing on the contacts using your mouth being carefully not to spit, or using a very soft dry brush.

  • 3g Nano wheel does not function with car adapter

    I have a new nano that when used in my car (which has a dock type cable that plugs into the nano) does not work. It turns on and everything functions but the wheel stops working. The menu button, the start/pause button work but I cannot scroll through anything. Unplug it and it works. Plug in a video ipod or a 2g nano to the car and it works but not the new nano. Anyone encountered this?
    The car adapter is a Peripheral devices ipod adapter for an acura
    Thanks,
    Brian

    I am having the same issue and my interface is a Peripheral iSimple product. There is no wheel functionality on my new 3g nano, but buttons function fine. I'm now extremely unhappy I upgraded from my 2g nano since it worked great in the car. I am seriously thinking of returning this one and paying the restock if necessary. Apple must have used a different firmware in these new nanos. New features and design are great, but when my interface quits working and I have to upgrade my whole musical life it gets rediculous. APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND QUICK!

  • No connection between iphone 4s and car-adapter

    Hello,
    Have a question to iphone 4s in connection with my car - adapter for Volkswagen (Adapter-Article.No. 3C005143CD)
    My phone, updated to 5.1.1 (9B206) and since then is that impossible for bluethoth-connection.
    Is that correct or anyone to find a solution for my problem? The adapter has cost roughly 100 euros and now is it for garbage!
    Thank you help,
    Gerdi from Schleswig-Holstein, North-Germany

    Try "forgetting" the car adapter on the iPhone and reset the car adapter, reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears, then pair them again.
