I have emailed the "State Manager" of Xcarlink 4 times with no response over the past 3 weeks.
Needless to say, I will now purchase my Xcarlink off eBay, rather than support a local business.

No charging makes baby Jesus cry. :( Might still get one though. I'm sick of switching CDs around... and everything on my iPhone is in Lossless format. ;)

I have actually found a solution to this problem, and my iPod Touch 2nd Gen now charges. :)

I bought one of these:

I ordered the small charge converter. Took 3 weeks to arrive after ordering, and it works great! I think the $50 it cost me was worth it. The iPod screen now stays on, allowing me to see album art all the time.

One point to note is that the XCarLink seems to be powered all the time, even with the key turned off, so your iPod will charge whether the car's on or off.

Hey mate... i was looking at this option for a while but decided to go with USA Spec. I love it cos it charges my iphone as i'm assuming it will support the newer ipods.

I got mine for about $250AUD Delivered.

Who did you buy it from?

I got mine installed not long ago for 150 works great no hisses or anything =] really happy with it although the only let down is that you cant fast forward tracks lol. ( this was the usb version) he also does the ipod one too

So if i get the USB version will i be able to connect any ipod mp3 to the USB port since ? thx

nope. u can only connect your ipod through the aux in (headphone jack or whatever u call it) of the Xcarlink unit, also if you use the aux in of the USB version of the Xcarlink you wont be able to control your ipod thorugh your steering wheel controls either. i know this because ive tried connecting my ipod through the usb port and it doesnt work,
