Belkin Car Charged doesn't work with 3G - iPhone 3G

mc751n · 07-19-2008, 12:56 AM

I just got my iPhone 3G and I'm sad to say that the car charger I've used for all my ipods and my first gen iPhone, http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...duct_Id=164964, doesn't work with the new iPhone 3G.

When I plug it in a yellow triangle pops up that says "This accessory with not charge this phone" or something along those lines, I'll make a screencap of it later.

I was looking at the Belkin TuneCast Car charger, and saw it at Costco-
is this the one you have, and can confirm that it doesn't work for 3G?
THANKS

Today I bought the Belkin TuneBase FM for $99 and it is great and works with my V1. The guys at the Apple store said it should work fine with 3G. It is simplistic , no wires and very functional. Clear sound, occasionally I changed the station for the FM, but always had a great sound. The best part is the cradle has a heavy adjustable arm that lets the iPhone sit just as you position it, vertically or horizontially for video. It comes with additional holders for all of the iPod incarnations too. I am planning a road trip this weekend and this will work great for listening to some Audible books.

I had the same problem with my Belkin charger. I went into Apple and then employee there gave me a half-thought out answer so I just got another charger, it was $20, so not too bad.

Neither of my chargers work with my 3G iPhone and 1 is a Belkin.

Does anyone know a charger that DEFINITELY works with the 3G iPhone?

This is the one I purchased from the Apple store last Friday for $20 ($19.95) and it DEFINITELY works with the iPhone 3G.

I'm going to the Apple Store about my MBP battery tomorrow, so I'll pick one up then.

Thanks!
