Hey everyone, I have a question.
My significant other used to own a full size iPod and to play it in her car she would use one of those accessories that plugs into the car and transmits the music through a specific FM channel that she would select.
Now, after a mishap with the original, she has an iPod nano. The converter she has works fine for music but it does not charge the iPod while it is plugged in. I was wondering if anyone here had any personal experience with any of the FM converters that work with an iPod nano while charging/keeping it charged.

The problem isn't that it's a Nano, the problem is that it's more recent. The fourth generation Nano changed the pinouts slightly so older accessories don't always charge them.
Any new accessory that specifically says it works with 4th-gen Nanos or newer will charge your friend's Nano.
As for direct experience with an FM transmitter, I can't say. I use a tape deck adapter.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I did not know about the issues with newer generation iPods. We will keep an eye out for that when we go pick one up.
Thanks again!
