ipod touch 2g car connector

[ezbaiby]

i tried using my ipod touch 2g with my car dock and i got a message that charging isnt available with this product...also the music wouldnt play through the car{usually it goes through fm channels} any way to fix this or is it hardware changes getting in the way

Nothing you can really do unless you want to spend a lot of time changing lots and lots of lines of OS code. This sounds like what happened with original iPhone accessories when the 3G came out, they didn't work. You'll just have to deal with it and either get another 1st generation or wait until such a product comes around for the 2nd generation iPod Touch.

yeah i just spoke with apple now and they say its a hardware issue since any new ipod wont support firewire charging and from what i gather most speaker systems/ car docks are running off some type of firewire power so im screwed with all my stuff and i gotta go out and buy some new stuff now
