Scosche passPORT Home Dock
The Scosche passPORT Home Dock allows iPod docking stations that do not support USB charging to work with the iPhone 3G, second-generation iPod touch and fourth-generation iPod nano.
- Snaps into most iPod docking stations that use the Apple-approved universal dock
- Accepts universal dock inserts that ship with iPod
- Trim ring ensures a snug fit with the Bose SoundDock I
- Glossy finish
Overview
The passPORT Home Dock is specifically designed to let you charge your iPhone 3G, second-generation iPod touch and fourth-generation iPod nano with several iPod docking stations that don't currently allow such charging. It simply converts the older accessories' 12V FireWire charging output to the new 5V USB standard and passes through all of the other connections.
NOTE: If the speaker dock or other accessory you're intending to use does not initially support the audio or video functionality of the iPod or iPhone, the passPORT will not enable these features.
Features
- Snaps into most iPod docking stations designed with the Apple approved universal dock
- Accepts universal dock inserts that ship with iPod (not included)
- Trim ring provides a snug fit with the Bose SoundDock I
- Glossy black finish

Scosche passPORT Home Dock
Brilliant! Corrects Apple's "improvement"
Written by GS from Colwall
05-May-2009
I've seen a review elsewhere suggesting this item doesn't fit. I can state with certainty that it fits a TEAC "made for ipod" stereo perfectly (make sure you put it in the right way round) and instantly solves the new problem created by Apple's "progress" - our Touch 2G now charges as nature intended. Shame it's necessary, but there you are. £30 is better than buying a new dock. Fact. …More

Works with iPod Speaker and JBL On Stage II

So pleased there is a solution for loyal Apple customers to use newer iPods with older iPod (firewire pin) charging devices.
The passPORT Home Dock simply sits in the iPod universal dock space and will accept all the iPod plastic tray adaptors. Charges Nano 4G perfectly! Hurray! Same glossy black or white plastic as iPod compatible items.
(Shame on Apple for not providing this themselves.) …More3 of 3 people found this useful

Scosche passPORT Home Dock
Poor performance
Written by AP from Carmarthenshire
26-Oct-2009
Overall I'd say that this was OK - BUT - after only a few months of use with my iPod Touch I find that the music keeps cutting out and it seems to lose its charging connectivity too.
Either this is down to a poor connector in the Touch, this or the dock but the Touch works fine with other devices and other devices are fine in the dock so it looks like this is the culprit. The connection is also very loose with the Touch and the dock, there is no positive 'click' which seems to engage and secure everything in place.
If it finally packs up I will not be buying another that's for sure. …More1 of 1 people found this useful

Scosche passPORT Home Dock
No use to me
Written by AD from Stocksfield

Sadly it does not fit my iPod universal dock nor my JPL speakers - far too big for both. Therefore I have returned it.
