[QUOTE="Gasman, post: 6606916, member: 618404"] When I put the Pioneer DEH4900iB head unit with full iPod controls in my Dodge Dakota, I was disappointed to learn that it would play but not charge my 4th Gen iPod Nano (5v USB charging). It would, however, charge an older Firewire iPod (12v charge), so I bought a mint used 20gb clickwheel Classic, loaded it up, and threw it in the glovebox. Problem solved. I have now bought a super-cool 8.5" in-dash DVD head unit for my Intrepid which also has iPod controls, however, it won't charge either style of iPod. The interface cable has the standard dock end on it like any other. What I need is a 12v cigarette-lighter type charger with a dock end that will plug into the iPod, and with a female dock opening that the interface cable to the head unit will plug into under that. I would actually prefer one that charges the older iPod instead of my 4th Gen Nano, since that one has more storage and it's easier to read in it's mount from the driver's seat, but I wouldn't be opposed to buying a newer 5v-charge Classic if necessary. I've searched high and low for a charger like this, but can't find anything. Anyone know? [/QUOTE]
