I've tried a gadget like on the Amazon link because the gen1 would have been around in the day when iPod charging was 12v and nowadays it's 5v, but it still didn't work. Sorry for the thread hijack Easton, I'll use the other thread I stared.
I will also transfer over to your thread on the subject but I am surprised it didnt work , I will have a think and see if I can remember what it was called :thumb:
