Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter for iPod touch 2G, 3G; iPod nano 4G; iPhone 3G (Black)

Product Details

Firewire-to-USB Charging Pass-Through
If you have an older iPod interface in your car, battery backup system, or similar product, you might find that charging is not supported with your new iPod. The Scosche passPORT solves that problem with Firewire-to-USB charging capabilities, providing a 12V to 5V solution for iPod nano 4G, iPod touch 2G, and iPhone 3G.

Using passPORT is simple:

1. Plug the dock connector into the female side of the passPORT.
2. Plug the passPORT adapter into your iPod or iPhone.
3. Select a song from your iPod or iPhone and begin enjoying your music while charging

Great for Vehicle iPod Accessories
The passPORT is perfect for older car integration accessories that don't support charging for the iPhone 3G and iPod models released in September 2008 or later. The passPORT is compatible with: several aftermarket head-units as well as Acura, Audi, Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ferrari, Ford, Honda, Hummer, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Jeep, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Mercury, Mini Cooper, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Pontiac, Porsche, Rolls Royce, Saab, Saturn, Scion, Suzuki, Toyota, Volvo, and VW. (Not compatible with select Pioneer head-units that use the CD-iB100 or CD-i200 iPod to IP-Bus adapter.)

Note: The passPORT is specifically designed to fix the charging error associated with several iPod and iPhone accessories. If the accessory you are intending to use does not initially support the audio or video functionality of the iPod or iPhone, the passPORT will not enable these features.

Product Reviews

(5 stars) - 2007 BMW 550i & Ipod Nano 4G = success
Works on my 2007 BMW 550i - no problems. Nano 4G charges as I expected it to.

(1 stars) - Did not Work For Me
I have a Pioneer Head unit with Ipod connector that does not work with my ipnone 3G or ipod touch. Thought the Scosche would help me out. It did not--I still get the same incompatibility warning.

(4 stars) - Works well (sound and charge) with a Scion xB
There seems to be some question about when when this works and when it doesn't. I thought it would be useful to contribute my experience with the Scosche passPORT, my iPhone 3G, and a Scion xB.

My 3G charges, plays though the car sound system, and can be controlled by the car radio just fine. You do get the nag screen when you first connect it but that doesn't really affect anything.

(5 stars) - So glad I found this!
This fixed the compatibility problem with the new nano and the Scion TC pioneer head unit.

(5 stars) - Wish that I purchased this sooner!
I got tired of my ipod running out of power, and my car was not charging it. I'm not a real "tecky" type person and I was skeptical about the product. I'm so glad I took the chance. Very pleased with the product, and it was easy to install. I could even handle it!
