CORRECTCan you give me another model of APPLE iPod dock pinout? Thank you very much!APPROVED
CORRECTAPPROVED
CORRECTConfirmed audio and firewire power. Other pins appear to be correctly listed from what I could see in the dock i disassembled. Also, connecting pin 21 as listed to ground with a 1MOhm resistor does stop the ipod when power (Firewire-12V, havn"t tried USB) is cut. Very handy for turning off your ipod when your car turns off. Also note that this pin diagram has the numbers in reverse order of what will be labeled in a dock connector.APPROVED
CORRECTAPPROVED
INCORRECTSecond sentence states that this connector exists in all iPod MP3 players, it is not in the 1G and 2G (first sentence is correct).APPROVED
INCORRECTIpod 1G and 2G dont have this connector!APPROVED
CORRECTinformation about serial communication is ok. only one little problem. pin 17 is not in our pinout diagram. pin 17 i have connect to ground on my remote control.APPROVED
CORRECTi must apologize, pin 17 is NOT connected to ground! sorry for my eyes mistake :-/APPROVED
CORRECTAPPROVED
INCORRECTIn pin 27's description, under iphone 3G charging, if you use a 33kOhm and 47kOhm resistor as described you will get 2.94 volts at pin 25, NOT 2.8 as described. If you want 2.8 volts you should use a 33kOhm and a 42kOhm as described.APPROVED
CORRECTThe connection is true!!! WORKS!!!!APPROVED
CORRECTAPPROVED
INCORRECTPin 11 "serial GND" does not provide an actual serial ground - it is not grounded at the device. Serial port should rely on another ground pin (e.g. pin 15 or 1).NOT APPROVED
INCORRECTWhere 7 pin?NOT APPROVED
CORRECTPin 2 (in the chart) says it's connected to pin 2 when it should say it's connected to pin 1. NOT APPROVED
CORRECTLine outs are corerect. But in pin 27, have to use 100k resistor to force the iPod classic 120G to charge in any case.NOT APPROVED
CORRECTNOT APPROVED
CORRECTNo errors that I know of, but I have a few questions. Can pin 2 be connected to the GND of the headphone jack safely? How can you fool the iPod into thinking "iPod camera connector" is presont so that it steps up pin 18 to 5V?NOT APPROVED
CORRECTiPod 4G grayscale can also be forced to charge by attaching the data + and the data - pins to the 5v via a 10k Ohm resistor ( BOTH PINS) and connecting pin 16 to the 5v (ground). (Confirmed working with iPod 4G 20GB)NOT APPROVED
