Um…. Folks there’s plenty of converters to use old plugs with the new units:
Griffin, Scosche, IFWA, Voo, Ridax

I have a 3G iPod Touch and have exactly the same problem as mentioned above. I spent 20 minutes at the “Genius” Bar last night and they just told me there was absolutely nothing wrong with the iPod and it must be my car… oh… and that would be my car, my husband’s car and friend’s car, I guess. This is totally pathetic, especially as I bought the charging device from the Apple store and specifically asked if there were any known problems at the time. I won’t be buying any further Apple junk.

Great post. I feel the pain from Apple changes. Hopefully future changes won’t be like that. By the way there’s a great website for iPod and iPhone vehicle integration kits I think is worthy of mention. I purchased a kit (or module as they call them) from them that allows me to play, control and charge my iPhone from my factory car stereo. I absolutely love it and the sound quality is awesom!

Even Apple’s iPod HiFi is a victim of dropping support for Fireware charging. It’s one thing for Belkin, or any other third party accessory company to get blind-sided by Apple’s move, but for Apple’s OWN accessories to be affected is pretty terrible planning.
