Would you confirm that you are connected to the cd-i100 or 200 and are not using any other power source. I've been looking for a pass thru device for a long time and they all say that they don't work with the Pioneer interfaces. Please let me know.
Yes, I'm connected to the cd-i100 with no other external power source. The adapter works great for me.
The scosche does not work with my D3.
The Ridax does not work with my D3. Ridax sent me 4 chargers, and none of them works. I tried it with 2 different D3s and 2 BMW oem cables. DOES NOT f+cking work!! Don't buy it!!!!
I also contacted Vaistech.com about their UPA5V and the pioneer CD-i200 cable. They said "We are not 100% sure it'll work."
The griffin does not work.
Our Charge Converter is not compatible with Pioneer head units that use the CD-iB100 or CD-i200 iPod to IP-Bus adapter. The Pioneer units send proprietary data as well as FireWire power. Although the cable will continue to pass the audio, iPods that charge via USB-only will not charge, remote commands may be limited, and the head unit may display an error message. iPods that charge via USB-only include the 4th generation iPod nano and 2nd generation iPod touch, as well as iPhone 3G.
Does the kensington really work with a D3?
Thanks
Just ordered the Kensington from here: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=K33368US&cm_mmc=GoogleProducts-_-Cables-_-iPodCables-_-K33368US&utm_source=GoogleProducts&utm_medium=ShoppingSites&utm_campaign=K33368US. I used the coupon code "dealtaker" and got 10% off, ending up costing $18.79 shipped. Suppose to work on the D3. Will post results when I get it.
CONFIRMED, the Kensington 4 in 1 charger works. 
Does anyone know if the CableJive charger adapter will charge the 3GS on the AVIC-Z1 with the Pioneer iPod adapter?
Any updates?
Confirmed - the Kensington 4 in 1 charger works on my DEH-P3000IB & iPhone 3GS.
I also bought a full cable on eBay and it did NOT work.
My $3 dock extension cord does not work with this setup, though it does work with my phone for syncing and charging with the computer.
I guess i could find a solution with your help...
Thanx alot!
