Try this, if you have a car audio setup that connects using the dock connector.

It took me a few minutes of googling to find it.

Amazon.com: Kensington 33368 4-in-1 Auto Charger for iPods: Electronics

oh yeah, my bad, guess I missed that. It's a Kensington 4-in-1 charger with pass through dock connector.

Car chargers are great and all but does anyone know of a FM car dock that charges the 3G? My old DLO one worked fine with EDGE iPhone but refuses to charge my 3G

I have a really nice one at home that worked great with the 1st gen. I'll give it a shot when I get home.

It is in a box somewhere now that I have my new pioneer deck

Works with the 3G, charges and broadcasts. You get the popup that says this accessory not designed....but it works great.

Does anyone know if this is 3G compatible or not?

Yes, it's the workaround for people with 3g. This is a huge problem and all over the Apple forums. We should be seeing a slew of "converters" or "adapters" to hit the market soon. From a business perspective this move to USB only benefits not only Apple, but the vendors that make the accessories.
We, the consumer, always get the sh!t end of the stick...

Just to confirm, mine turned up yesterday and it works fine. Charging in the car is back

Regarding this Kensington unit: Can you charge it without having to use the USB cable? ie. I currently plug my Clarion ipod car audio accessory dock connector directly into my iPhone to play my music through my head unit. This used to charge my old iPhone but doesn't charge my new 3g iPhone. If I bridge the gap with this Kensington unit, will I still have to use the USB cable for charging or can the original dock connector cable to the job as per it's original method? If this is the case then would I be able to simply snip off that dangly usb cable and throw it away?

Any thoughts on this?

[NSXrebel]

I have a kenwood headunit. It also used to charge my old iPhone. I'll be getting the 4-in-1 today for my iPhone 3G. I'll post results later.

i think i have the same one as you because of the brand name you speak of.... yea it works but when i go and look at the iPhone 3G's connector after using it, it looked kind of damaged, like part of the black plastic part is hit and dented and the pins looks like they ate raised a little but it still charges... im just worried in time after using the car charger, it will total the iPhone's connector...
