Update for those with new iPhones/iPods

Many of you using the BLAU/8-pod or BLAU/8-3nput may still be able to use them to play the new iPod/iPhones released September 2008 but should know that these will not charge. Apple decided to change the way these iPod charge by switching from 12V FireWire to 5V USB.
So, if you purchase one of these new iPods (iPhone(3G), Nano(4G), iTouch(2G) you will have to charge them elsewhere or update your dock connector to one that supports 5V USB Charge.

Peripherals just released the IS75 (Audio) and IS76 (Audio/Video) adapter cables and it appears that these cables will charge both new and older iPods/iPhones.
The problem is that these adapters terminate in RCA plugs instead of the 8-pin plug that fits the aux input on the radios .

Two separate parts are required to complete installation:
BLAU/8-RCA

IS75 or IS76(PXP01V)

I recommend the IS75 because it has two inputs;
A 3.5mm (1/8" jack) for an MP3 or SAT Radio etc
and the dock connector for iPod/iPhone
