3G iPhone Operation with most Pre-Existing iPOD Interfaces:
(11/19/08) - Through testing and general information gathered from the iPOD interface manufacturers, the following conditions exist between most current iPOD interfaces sold through Logjam Electronics as it relates to the new 3G iPhone:
The 3G iPhone will not charge when connected to most existing iPOD interfaces, other than those interfaces listed above.
When initially connected to most existing iPOD interfaces, the 3G iPhone will display a message indicating a non-compatible charging device being connected.
When initially connected to most existing iPOD interfaces, the 3G iPhone will ask if you want to place the iPhone in 'Airplane' mode. This is the same as with the 1st generation iPhone when it is connected to most existing iPOD interface.
If the iPhone is placed in 'Airplane' mode, the phone function is disabled and the iPhone will work with the interface as any iPOD would work with the interface.
If the iPhone is NOT placed in 'Airplane' mode, the phone function remains active and the iPhone will work with the interface as any iPOD would work with the interface. Phone calls will be received through the iPhone, but to answer the call, you will need to disconnect the bottom connector, as the audio from the phone portion of the iPhone is not passed through the iPhone's bottom connector. The phone call audio is only passed through the iPhone's earphone jack.
Important 3G iPhone Operational Note: In some cases, connecting the 3G iPhone to an iPOD interface will result in the iPhone defaulting into a 'phonecall' mode, with the iPOD audio coming only from the 3G's phone internal speaker, without audio being passed through the bottom connector. If this condition appears, you will need to disconnect the iPhone from the interface and connect the 3G iPhone to your computer using the Apple USB cable and reset the iPhone. Please note that this condition can appear at any time, even if the iPhone has been connected successfully with the iPOD interface several times before.
New iPOD Touch/Classic/nano-chromatic & any New iPOD Producted Released after 09/12/08
(11/19/08) - Through testing and general information gathered from the iPOD interface manufacturers, the following conditions exist between most current iPOD interfaces sold through Logjam Electronics as it relates to the new iPOD Touch/Classic/nano-chromatic & any New iPOD Producted Released after 09/12/08
The new release iPODs have the same reconfigured charging circuitry as the new iPhone (USB/5V only). Therefore, the iPODs will not charge when connected to any existing iPOD interface that uses the 12V charging circuit, whether the interface is an iPOD-controlling interface or a non-iPOD controlling interface.
The new iPODs will also have an embedded 'Authentication' chip that will require any device that is connected to its bottom connector, to also have an Apple-supplied 'Authentication decoding' chip in it.
This authentication process between the iPOD and the device connected to it affects only the video that exits through the bottom connector of the iPOD.
Any interface that does not have this video authentication decoding chip in it, will pass only scrambled video through the bottom connector.
The iPOD audio that exits the bottom connector is NOT affected by the lack of the video authentication decoding chip.
Summary
Almost all of the iPOD interface manufacturers are working on new products or new charging cables to go with their existing iPOD interfaces. As new or additional information becomes available from the manufacturers regarding the 3G iPhone and the new iPODs and their operability with existing interface products, or if any new or additional information becomes available from the interface manufacturers about the availability of any new iPOD interface cables that will work with existing iPOD interface products and charge the new 3G iPhone or any other new Apple products, we will post it here on the website.
