Digital camera reviews of Apple AV Connection Kit for iPod with Dock Connector (White)Digital camera Review: 3rd Generation iPod needs to be connected with a Firewire/AC Adapter Summary: 3 Stars
I've been trying to find an AC adapter to run my "old" 3rd generation ipod - the one with a click wheel and four round buttons. I purchased this dock to listen to music from a stereo receiver but found it would not charge my ipod, also the remote control had no effect, and occasionally the ipod would freeze up until it was removed from the dock. Through determined experimentation I found that this dock will work in every way if you power it from an older style AC adapter that connects with a Firewire to ipod cable. For the 3rd gen ipod I suggest this rather than the USB style cable and AC adapter that comes with the unit.
I am glad there's a way to use my older ipod, it still works well as a music player and with its 40 Gb capacity it can hold a lot of music.
I like all Apple products very much, which makes it harder to give this product a full 5 stars as Apple has implied that this AV Connection Kit is compatible with my ipod. This unit does however work well with newer ipods that connects via USB.
