So I have an iPhone 4S and a iPod 5th Gen and I leave my iPod in the car hooked up so i have my entire library right there and don't have to deal with uploading all my songs to the hard drive. Now I ran into the problem that the wire does not charge my iPod or iPhone, which I knew, so I went ahead and ordered the Scosche adapter. Hooked everything up and still no charging. Looking on the packaging, it states its intended for iPhone 3G, iPod touch (Gen 2) and iPod nano (Gen 4) so this may or may not be my issue, but either way, Scosche doesn't charge what I need. I've done a fair amount of searching and haven't run into a conclusion. Maybe I'm blind but I didnt see it. I saw a guy recommend the BrandMotion wire, but I'm not sure if thats what I need or not. Basically what adapter do I need to order so it charges my iPod 5th Gen?

Thanks in advance!

 

i fukinng hate that scoche its a POS any little bump and it disconnects

 

Works here but only if I hold the Scosche and bend the iPod 'forward', sorta V-style. As long as it's bent forward the charging works. Otherwise it's still connected to the head unit and playing music but not charging. So now I have an elastic on it and jammed in the armrest console so that the lid keeps it bent forward. What a bloody pain but it works for now.

 

Thanks for the heads up, glad I didn't buy it yet.

 

+1. Not only does it not lock into place, it's not even a tight connection. I don't even have to hit a bump to dislodge it, the slightest curve or acceleration or deceleration pulls it loose as well. I'm hoping that someone comes up with a solution that locks the adapter into place so I can throw this crap away. Worst $29 spent ever.

 

Any other brands?

 

I used the Brandmotion when I had my 2009 and it was great plus it locked into place. I actually still have it and should probably sell it here. It wasn't that much more then the Schoche.

 

i heard there was one that actually locked in the phone,i forgot the brand and where to get it but i saw it in a tread on here somewhere

 

Well.... I got my Brandmotion today from BHB 91, and well, seems like an awesome product, solid connection, but still doesn't charge my iPhone 4S nor my iPod 5th Gen.... WTF do I do now?

 

I've been using brandmotion and it charges my iphone 4s

 

maybe my Nissan cable is shot... I'm going to stop by the dealership and see if they have one in stock and try that...

 

I just bought the Brandmotion iphone charge converter -- this seems like a winner -- 1) it's an extension cable AND a charge converter, 2) it locks in place.

Scosche is crap unless you drive in park.

Will post my personal experience with Brandmotion when I receive it -- doesn't matter if it's $35.00 shipped if it works and does what it's intended to do flawlessly -- I've learned to appreciate that in products I purchase lately.
