Title 10MY Land Rover Latest Apple Products not charging

Issue:
The latest generation iPhone, iPod Touch and iPod Nano do not charge when used with the Portable Audio Interface ( integrated iPod vehicle adapter).

Cause:
Apple have changed the power supply strategy on their latest models. The products affected are as follows:
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3G S
iPod Touch 2nd Generation
iPod Nano 4th Generation

Action:
Should a customer state that their Apple products (listed above) do not charge from the vehicle power supply, direct the customer to purchase a Scosche passPORT Car Charging Adapter. This can be obtained from various retailers or the Apple store by copy and pasting either of the links below into a web browser:
- US Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/TS696LL/...MjIwMTg2NQ
- UK Store http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TS696LL/...Mjg0NjU4Mw

NOTE - This change has been instigated by Apple on their products and payment for the adapter is the customer's responsibility.

Land Rover engineering are currently working on a solution, this will be the subject of a further communication.

 

Umberto, I've split this into it's own topic and stickied it as I'm sure it won't be the last we hear of it.

Thanks for posting it

It is happening with the iPod dock fitted to my MY08 TDV8 too so not limited to the MY10 integration Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

I should also mention that at least one owner of a new 2010 FFRR here in the US tried the above charging adapter and reported it didn't work, his iPhone 3G still won't charge although it will interface fine with the touchscreen.  

Update: Apparently the Scosche PassPORT Car Charging Adapter is available with two manufacturing dates, they should be printed on the package. Same model # and nearly identical look, so it's hard to tell the two apart otherwise. Make sure the adapter you will purchase is dated 2009, according to a forum member on rr.net the same device dated 2008 will not charge his iPhone. 

My I Pod Nano will not charge and is generation 4 however it specifically says in my manual that it will. Surely LR should sort this at their expense? My car is MY10 RRS TDV6. Also when I switch my car off it doesnt switch my I Pod off so its completely dead by the time I come to drive home from the office.It seems a bit crazy as my Jag XK which is only 7 months old does charge it! However it seems that if I use the USB port and the Apple PC lead supplied it charges the I Pod but will not play ! Bit of a mare really.

The problem is caused by Apple changing the charging specs of the iPods, and the manufacturers/OEM suppliers then have to play catch up - within their normal long lead times, etc etc.

A similar discussion has been held on DISCO3 recently. Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

My iPod/iPhone will charge through the USB in the upper glove box, it will even play through it, but it dosn't charge through the iPod dock. I have to use the USB cable that came with the iPhone tho. Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

There are many problems about i pod charger If you get a new i Pod for Christmas, keep a careful eye on it during its first charge/update. You’re supposed to leave it charging for hours to ensure everything nicely calibrated, but while getting a video i Pod set up ready to give to someone I eventually noticed it had stopped charging after all the tracks had been transferred,so there are many problems in new products. Defeat is not bitter unless you swallow it.

My 3GS with os 3 or os 4 is fine on a 2010 car delivered last week 2014 5.0SC AB
