tehskwid Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Just got a new 16 GB Nano. Plugged it in my D3 and the screen on the Nano flashed a message saying that this accessory is not recognized and will not charge the iPod!!!! Everything plays back just fine (even with coverflow turned on)...but it WILL. NOT. CHARGE.! Any ideas/recommendations? Is Pioneer going to have to make a new cable? Is Apple the devil incarnate? Why the hell would they change something so stupid in every new generation? WTF? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Pioneer is not going to update/make new hardware for a discontinued product, especially if it's because it doesn't work correctly with something that wasn't even in existence when it was produced.

Cozmo85 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 When the d3 was made all ipods supported 12v firewire charging. So thats what pioneer made the cable charge using the 12v firewire leads since there is no conversion needed. New ipods/iphones only support usb charging now so there is your problem. People are apparently making adapters, and i know kensington has a passthrough that charges via a usb connector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And Apple changed whatever lead it was using to charge the newest iPods...for some stupid reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They still supported firewire charging (not syncing) which is what changed, new ipods and iphone 3g do not support firewire charging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another pointless change to keep you buying new crap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
