Need to charge IPod Nano in car

My 5th Gen IPod Nano plays in my new car's MP3 player. But it does not charge. The reason is the car's MP3 Player is only compatible with IPod Nanos Generation 1, 2 and 3. I have 5th Generation.
Apple support advised I get the ISimple ReVolt Charging Adapter model IS710.
I bought the ISimple IS710 charger and connected it per the directions - one end of the IS710 into my car's MP3 cable and the other end into my IPod -but my car's MP3 player would not play my IPod's music. I received a message from the car's panel that my IPod is not connected, even though it was. It also seemed that the IS710 adapter did not fit securely into my IPod. But it still would not play even when I held it in securely.
I looked at the box the IS710 came in and it stated that it was compatible with IPod Nano 4th Generation. It did not mention any other generations. I have IPod Nano 5th Generation. Is that the problem? Any advice? I need to charge this IPod Nano in the car while I am playing its music.

  • Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

    do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

    None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt.  You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts.  Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
    All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

    Is there another way to charge iPod nano besides connecting it to computer?

    There's various kinds of power adaptors available: for mains power from Apple and third parties, and for charging in a car from third parties. Plenty of options available to allow for shopping around.

  • Can I use my Samsung Wall USB charger to charge iPod Nano (6th gen)? (output is 5.0V, 0.7A)

    Can I use my Samsung Wall USB charger to charge iPod Nano (6th gen)? (output is 5.0V, 0.7A)
    http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Charger-Detachable-ETA0S20JBE-ECC1DS2UBE/dp/B004R0 5W1G
    My biggest concern is that it will fry the circuitry. I don't know what the Amp output is on the Mac-branded wall charger, but I think that USB 2.0 usually only goes up to 0.5A.

    Quick answer is: You can if it works, but it is not recommended.
    Hope this helps.

  • Charging iPod Nano in the car

    From other posts in this area it seems that the iPod Nano is able to be charged via an Apple Firewire/iPod cable but it will not sync (transfer tunes) via the Firewire cable.
    This seems OK provided that I can continue to use my Griffin car charger to charge the Nano (I connect my current iPod headphone socket to an iFire amplifier and then directly to the car speakers
    (see http://www4.tpgi.com.au/users/aoaug/macosx.html#hifi )
    Also I should be able to use my old iPod AC adapter with the firewire cable to the iPod dock connector. My main requirement is to be able to charge the iPod Nano will travelling when I dont have access to a computer with USB.
    This all depends on being able to use the connector cable from the previous model iPod (20Gb) with teh Nano.

    Yes your old iPod chargers will work as long as you can use a cable that connects to the bottom of the iPod (dock connector)
    Also any charging accessory should work again as long as it can be connected as the iPods all required the same charge voltage, etc.

  • IPod Nano to Car Speakers

    I have a white 2 GB iPod Nano 1st Generation and I want to be able to play my iPod through my car speakers. I already have the USB cable and the car charger, can i just plug the cable & the charger into my car and then turn off my radio and press play...or do i need to by one of those FM Radio iPod converters for a car in order for me to play my iPod in my car?

    Either that or an expensive retrofit. My last car had a lousy radio so I bought a Sony that had an aux port. There are also some really expensive models that have iPod ports. Another option for some cars is an expensive device that adds an auxilliary input to your factory radio but there can be downsides. For me I have a choice of losing my XM radio or losing audible warnings. And then there's the FM transmitters. I bought a Kensington digital and am mostly happy with it. I say mostly because in some areas there is no free frequency so the iPod is unusable.

  • Charging iPod nano issues

    I have no problem updating my iPod nano. I connect easily and iTunes opens and updates the iPod. When I initially connect, the charge signal comes on. However, after updating the iPod stops charging - even though it is still connected. The only way I can find to get it to start charging is to disconnect and reconnect a couple of times and it will eventually work. This usually causes iTunes to freeze on me but at least it starts the iPod nano charging. Is there some reason why the iPod nano would not continue to charge?

    u could also try getting a dock or a wall charger.
    i suppose, but i shouldn't need to. it's frustrating that the PC does charge the iPod - I just need to try several times and every time it works is when iTunes freezes up.
    it does charge until the update is complete so it's almost like the completion of the update is telling the iPod that it doesn't need to charge any more also.....

  • Charging iPod nano (2nd gen) with iPod mini adaptor

    Hey
    I just bought my iPod nano 2nd gen, and I realized that there is no wall charger for it. Therefore I am wondering, if I can use the wallcharger for my old iPod mini?
    I that cannot be done, I would like some alternatives, since I would like to bring my iPod on vacation, and therefore I need more than 24 hours of battery life.
    Best regards

    Yes.

  • Connecting ipod nano to car radio

    i have 2 ipods ,one is one of the first ones made,wich i have played on my car radio ,just plug in the cable that charges ,and away,the second is a 3rd gen ipod nano,when i plug this into my car stereo jack it just says you must eject before disconnecting ,then the radio comes on and the ipod is at its normal screen,but cannot play thru car stereo,what can be wrong ?

    are you sure you plugged it into the stereo jack??? because the ipod sees no difference in headphones and a car aux stereo jack to a car .... sounds like you are using something that plugs into a car lighter port... what device are you using to connect the ipod to your car?

  • Charging iPod nano 6th gen

    I have no problem charging the battery thrugh the USB 2.0 port on the computer, but using the firewire power adaptor from my old iPod doesn't seem to work. I also tried using the docking station without luck.
    Do I need a completely different power adaptor to charge my nano? Or am I doing something wrong?

    The problem may have something to do with both the cable and the voltage. Older Nanos run on 12V DC, and newer Nanos on 5V DC. That wouldn't necessarily be a problem (pushing 12V into the device would charge it faster, although it would shorten battery life over the long haul) except that Apple, supposedly also changed the pins designated for charging. Not sure of the exact pin number, but I think #19 is now the 5V charge pin for new Nanos, while in older Nanos it was (I think) #23 or something like that for the 12V charge pin. All in all, the advice below was correct, you can't use an older Firewire iPod cable on newer iPods. The only reason I know about this whole voltage and pin problem is because the new Nanos won't charge while connected to the iPod cable in a new Mercedes Benz - they play fine, but won't charge. Mercedes uses a cable with the old pin set up, and my Nano 6th gen won't charge.

  • Charging iPod nano via iHome iH5

    Is anybody else able to not charge there 4th generation iPod nano with the iHome? i'am able to listen to music, but when i dock it to the iHome it says "This Accessory is not supported."

    I also battled with keeping my new ipod charged up. I had 2 accessories that would charge my 2nd gen which of course no longer work with the 4th gen. I am completely dissapointed in Apple for making that change without warning or notice. I ordered the "passPORT" from Scosche Industries, Inc. and just received it yesterday (it was on backorder since early October). IT COMPLETELY FIXES THE PROBLEM! It is an adaptor that works with both my countertop ihome and my FM transmitter car charger. I will mainly leave mine in my car but when i want to I can use in my ihome. THANK YOU SO MUCH SCOCHE!!!!!!!! Shame on you Apple. http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/1667

  • Using ipod nano with car stereo?

    sorry if this is a blonde question, but I have just got a new (to me) car which has a sony gtx cd300 stero in with an ipod connection. Ive bought a new ipod nano, plug it in, nano says "OK to disconnect". stereo display does not seem to recognise. Dont suppose anyone can advise me? Nano works fine on its own. stereo works fine as cd and tuner, just cant get it to work with the ipod? arrgh! Very very grateful for any help or advice. Kind regards Lindsay

    As long as your headset is 3.5 mm jack, you can use it with your ipod. Same goes with an auxilliary cable to your car if it is not bluetooth enabled.

  • FM transmiter that CHARGES iPod nano 4th gen

    Hello.Well after the clickwheel crapped out on my girlfriends ipod nano 4gb 1st gen decided to get her a ipod nano 16gb 4th gen (pink..shes a girl:) for her birthday.So that's all decided.Now I start researching what fm transmitter to get and see a problem that many folks have...the fm transmitter DOES NOT charge the ipod. I come to you guys for suggestions.I did look at some like griffins' itrip line and while it said it is compatible i have seen reviews that said it does kick out an fm signal and does work in that respect BUT does not charge the unit which would suck.Please tell me what models you guys are using and if they are working for you.Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for the reply. I sent an email to griffin and in the reply they stated that all the products that say they work with ipod nano 4th gen....will work with that version. I just get a feeling like I am going to be returning it to the store after buying it.I have no worries about it actually transmitting an fm signal but charging..thats another story. Will update when I find out.
