Unhappy Catastrophic failures with a Dice R4 unit

Has anyone had their Dice unit fry an older iPod? I plugged in my 20gb 4g into the Dice unit for testing, and after it completely drained the battery in seconds, it did not turn back on. The navi screen in my 2006 TL registered that a device was connected, but it showed that it was immediately disconnected then my screen wouldn't turn back on.

A similar thing happened to my 2gb 1g nano. Now when I turn it on, the screen area gets extremely hot and the battery doesn't appear to be holding its charge.

My Touch, however, seems to be working fine, but I'm afraid to plug it back into the Dice unit if it's looking like it fried my other two iPods.

Just wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue.

Just got off the phone with Dice. The operator told me that it was probably an iPod dock connector issue on my iPods since they are both older units.

It's really weird... my old 4g and nano never had any issues with cables and docks. Heads up for everyone else, I guess.
