Other than that, it should work. Make sure your device has the latest OS (Right now its 4.3.3).

Iphones and Ipods aren't the same. For some dumb reason Apple changes the charging voltage so the Iphone won't work on older Ipod charging docks. Mine doesn't charge, but I did hear of the adapter that does...maybe the newer cables are update to charge right. It is pretty dumb to have Ipod connectivity and no charging.

I got my 09 G37s two weeks ago or so and purchased the Scoche passport converter and this did not change behavior with my iPod touch 2G (which also has the newer USB-based charging). I have full control through the stereo unit, but still no charge. I'm going to try some other iPods to see what the deal is. Head scratcher.

$10 cord from target charges my iPhone 3G plugged into the usb port. Doesn't solve your issues, but just provides support.

I had a 2009 G37x and no charging for my Ipod touch 4gen. For some reasons I changed for a 2010 G37x /same Ipod. Now it's charging. Note the connection is now through an USB cable. Hope it helps.

I have a '08 G37 coupe without Nav. iphone 3GS and my new iPhone 4S will NOT charge. It will play all music and let me control it from the head unit but no charge. I would like to use my old iPhone 3GS in the car as an iPod now. I've looked into this "Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter for iPod & iPhone" on amazon and it sounds like its for use with every iDevice before the 3GS i have. Does anyone have experiance with this problem? Other than this issue I love this car. I just got it used with only 24,000 miles on it.

Thanks

Thank you for the reply AZg37. I'll order one from amazon. I checked with a local BestBuy and they didn't carry it.

The Scosche Passport came it today from Amazon and it worked perfect. Thank you for all the info. Now unlimited music from my old iPhone in the G. No need to worry about charging it every couple days. I paid around $18 bucks and couldn't be happier.


Quick Reply: G37 now charges iPhone?
