iPhone 3G and iPod models introduced in 2008 use the same kind of Dock Connector as previous iPod models, but with one important difference: Inside the connector, they charge via the more universally-available USB circuitry. To make sure that older charging solutions continue to work with the new iPod models, Griffin offers a simple solution: the Griffin FireWire to USB Charge Converter. To use the Griffin Charge Converter, plug it into the Dock Connector of your iPod or iPhone. Then plug your charging device into the Dock Connector on the Converter. Simple.

So this made my Neo iOn aftermarket iPod adapter/connector charge my iPhone 3GS, the switch from 12V to 5V is complete. However, it does not get rid of the initial "This Accessory was Not Made to work with iPhone. Would you like to turn on Airplane Mode to eliminate any interference?" screen when I plug it in. Charges, yes; aesthetically pleasing, not really; under $20, from another retailer (see Used & New prices).
Something that irked me was the lack of quick release clips, the ones that any other iPod connector has. The adapter inserts snugly into my iPhone for now, but I'm afraid it won't for long. Maybe when the time comes I'll be able to update to a new connector cable, it'll have clips and no bulky extension.

Have latest generation Nano and it would not charge while interfaced with my car stereo. I plugged unit in and charging problem was instantly solved.

I got nervous because I still got that stupid "Will not charge with this accessory" message when I first connected it, but then I unplugged everything (both sides) for a few seconds and plugged it back in and it's been all good ever since. Whew!

I needed an iphone adapter for my in-car system. I tried the Scosche passport first. The iphone would charge, but the music would cut in and out for some reason. I tried this adapter and it works perfectly. Not sure why they are different. As other reviewers have noted, these adapters seem to work great for some applications and not at all for others.

I've tried two 3GS iPhones with this and the 6FL Y-cable option in a 2009 BMW and it doesn't charge. I will be sending mine back.
