Hi

Does anyone know if iPhone-1 car chargers work with iPhone-3G. I went into the O2 and Apple shops in the trafford centre at the weekend and neither could give me an answer - they both said they couldnt guarantee they would work.

Cheers

annoyingly my in-car ipod connection does not charge my 3G iphone.

My previous in-car charger doesn't work but my Kia Picanto built in ipod / charger does.

hmmm seems a bit hit and miss.

Buy an inverter. You plug it into the cigarette lighter socket, and it gives you mains power at a normal household socket.
This saves buying chargers for the car as you can just use the normal one.
They come in various power outputs but the basic one can handle a load of up to 150 watts, which is plenty for charging iPods, mobile phones etc.
They start at around £20-£25, which is not bad when you consider that you won't have to buy anything else to make ALL your stuff work in the car.
Argos stock one - it's £30 for the 350 watt model, they seem to have stopped selling the smaller one. They are available though if you look around.

Can't you get one of those generic cigarette lighter adaptors that give you a USB socket to use for charging?

Griffin Powerjolt works fine for me, and its black so less stand out in the car as the 'look apple stuff in car' types

Not seen them before - that would be ideal, I have a Maplin store just down the road.

Thanks
