My old 2nd gen nano crashed. I now have a new 4th gen nano. The problem I'm having is that I'm getting a message on my nano that says this device is not compatible to charge the nano(something like that), I had charging capabilities before with my 2nd gen. What gives? I tried different dip switch settings, but I must not have the right combination, or is this possible with 4th gen?????

 

It's because Apple likes to screw repeat customers... Any older charging device will not work with the newer iPods (I think pretty much everything released during or after the first gen iPone). I also have the USAspec and it won't work with my new iPod Touch (2G), but I also have the skipping issue with the USAspec, so I need to change that out anyway.

Does anyone know if the Dice adapter charges the newer iPods? Also I have the Dice mount that splits the video out, but that doesn't work with the touch either, anyone have any luck with the new iPod?

 

Misfit - you may want to check in with USASpec. From another thread, I understand they were coming up with a low-cost solution to the "charging" issue; $15 for a new cable fo some kind. Also, according to csmeance, the "skipping" problem can be fixed with a cable replacement as well (although I haven't tried yet and I also have the "skipping" problem).

 

I've tried emailing USASpec a number of times, and they have never responded, I can't describe how unhappy I am with the total lack of support for this product!

Off to Dice I go...

 

They wrote back to me... But im not going to be the first one here to buy one.

We have a new cable for the 3g new 4G iPods. It should be available in 3-4 weeks

The new iPods and iPhone work fine on all our existing units except they do not charge the iPod, our new cable will take care of that problem

Retail will be around 19.98, the cable is backword compatible for all our iPod units

If you want to order one please call 626 336 3836

Thanks
John

 

Sorry to hear about the support issues. Hopefully, for their sake, it was just a problem with e-mail getting through.
