OK...finally got around to trying out the "apple branded" cable. Same issue for me. Does not charge...everything else works fine. I have to come to the conclusion that as others have said this is a hardware issue stemming from the AVIC itself. There is no one solution fits all here...as much as VBLUE would like to think so. If you'd like I can invite you over to my house and you can watch me install the cable...we can both stare in awe as the 3GS does not charge....

VBLUE...good god...please stop telling everyone to check and replace their cables. WE HAVE!!! Im on my third cable and still having intermittent problems. I have a 3GS with avic f700bt with pioneer cables. I can get it to charge about one out of every four tries. I hate to rant...but unless you have something more constructive to say other then..."rip your unit back out and replace with another 50$ cable and try again" you should reconsider. Maybe just because something works well for you...you may be lucky...others, in the case of this forum...are having legit problems.
