Both Alpine's site and Crutchfield's site say this adapter works for first and
second generation iPod Touches, but are silent about subsequent
generations (we're on fourth generation right now).
According to the Alpine rep I just spoke to, this adapter charges all iPod
Touches to date, through fourth generation. So I'm placing an order, I'll post if I
learn otherwise through actual use.

I don't know what Apple was thinking when they took away the "charge anywhere" ability in the later-generation iPods. Were it not for my car stereo, I would never have gotten an iPod in the first place. It was a pain having to remember to take my iPod into the house each day for a recharge. It was a bigger pain to have my music die on a long drive. As always, Alpine is on top of their game. This converter works flawlessly. Well worth the money that I dropped on it!!!!

Works as advertised. Much wider than my new nano but fits securely in the ipod and doesnt become disconnect as some of the other products I read about. For is size I wish they would have put a headset connector on it as well. Not sure if the car adaptor charger requires the down conversion, but I carry my ipod on long flights as well and no way I can charge and listen at the same time. Really wish Apple had not changed the pins anyhow or I would have just bought another classic to replace my stolen one and come out spending the same amount of money.

If you have an Alpine head unit that is designed for the 12v iPods, this is what you need with the new 5v ones. While the price is steep for what you get it is the lesser of two evils when you consider replacing you head unit. Installation? Plug in into your cable, plug you iPod into it. You're done. Unlike cheaper brands, this one latches onto both the cable and the iPod. That's got to be worth something. Now I no longer get the message about cable incompatiblity from the iPod and the Alpine controls handle the iPod just like they should.
Of course Crutchfield shipped this to me in their own flawless, speedy fashion.

Works with Apline Head Units and Other Devices |

I had initially ordered the Scosche adapter for my new iPod Touch 64G. However, after reading may reviews on the internet I decided to return it to Crutchfield. The customer service at Crutchfield was first rate, as always! I opted for this adapter even though it was almost double the price. The main selling point for me was that it offered a locking type connector. I read numerous complaints about the Scosche adapter coming unplugged while folks were driving. I spoke with Crutchfield support and Alpine support about this adapter working on other docks since essentially all it is doing is stepping down the 12V charge to 5V. Alpine and Crutchfield would not commit to this working on other devices so I told them I would test it and get back to them. Well I am pleased to report that this device not only works flawlessy with my Alpice CD9856 head unit but it also works flawlessy with my iHome IH5 (really old and the first iHome alarm dock) and my Pioneer Elite VSX94 iPod dock cable. I'm not sure if it will work with every device and clearly it is not going to work on any device that did not work with iPod before. Remember that this connector and the Scosche adapter only address charging issues.
