Here's the link on the apple website: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TS...mco=MjIwMTg2NQ

Haven't looked to see if it you could get it anywhere else yet. Didn't even know this existed until a few minutes ago when I saw this thread and decided to google. Pretty sure I'll be ordering one of these soon for my 4th gen nano.

From the comments on the Apple site, some people have complained about diminished sounds quality....just throwing that out there.

Also, the company that makes this does show the G37 as being compatible: http://www.scosche.com/ecom/download..._4.20.2009.pdf

The biggest problem is you can't jump to a certain letter in your playlist. Must scroll through your whole song list from a-z unless you make a playlist for every letter.

Yeah that's the bummer. I am hoping with the USB port, that the iPod/Phone will charge. That's just one less cord to worry about.

FYI - the charging issue has a very simple fix as mentioned above with the Scosche adapter. Apple announced a couple years ago that the 12 volt firewire charging in iPods was going away but many device manufacturers didn't seem to pay attention and therefore their devices won't charge the newer generation ipods and iphones.
The mod is simply a matter of providing the correct voltage to the 2 data pins on the iPod connector which is easily done via a couple of resistors, which is all these adapters like the Scosche do.
As far as reports of hampered sound quality, the audio (pins 3 and 4 on the standard iPod connector) is passed through untouched so unless there's a poor connection caused by corrosion or a bad solder joint in the adapter I don't see how the sound quality would be affected.
If you want more information or want to build or modify your own adapter, here's more info:

The charging adapter is made by Scosche, I bought one at the apple store $25. Works great! The new apple products do not support most non-apple chargers.

The latest 8 GB IPod Nano is not compatible with the 2009 G37 Journey Premium. Are there any fixes so the the new Nano's can be used/charged by the 2009 G37's?

iPod troubles

I recently update my 2nd generation 32gb iPod touch with the latest firmware. I think it's 3.xxx. Sorry I don't have it with me. But it's been in the last 3 weeks or so. Since then when I get in the car it reports that no ipod is connected, even though the ipod will show "accessory connected". I have to disconnect it, then plug it back up before the car recognizes it. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I agree that the lack of scrolling capability is the biggest problem. Does anybody know a quicker way to scroll?

I reformatted the latest 8 GB Nano to Windows from the Mac format and it works in the 2009 G37 sedan Journey Premium stereo. However, it does not charge. My older 2 GB Nano works fine in the G37 (charges and plays). Anybody know a fix to allow the newest Nano to charge in the G37?

Get the Scosche Adapter

The link is in the first post on this page. I believe it adjusts the voltage from 5v to 3v, which I believe is what the newer generation ipods use. I have the adapter and it works perfectly.

So I might have missed this info somewhere, but which Ipod's will charge and work with the G37 without any additional equipment?

Today, I found a quicker way to scroll! Hold the "down" button (the button below the twist wheel) and that will greatly increase the scroll speed.
