3G iPhone does not work with Gen I car chargers

I have 3 car chargers in the 3 cars. I've tried this now with 2 of them, and the charging circuit appears to be different, not allowing charging through the FireWire pins.
Guess I'll need to 'mod' them.

I wonder if the dock will work. I know the phone won't fit as it has different dimensions, but thats nothing a few seconds of a dremmel sanding tool cant fix to shave some of the plastic off the dock to make the 3g fit into it.

Doesn't work with my Kenwood KCA-iP500 interface either.

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

Thanks, but you could have at least given us a link or a model number.

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