I bought this adapter solely for my original iPod preparation in VW Passat !!!
VW built to date still represents old iPod preparations in the new car, with which only the iPod Nano models I and II run or be loaded.
For the more recent generations, such as the iPod Nano models IV and V or iPod Touch I + II you need this charger from Griffin or the adapter from Scosche from the Apple Store.
Since I have connected with this intermediate adapter running my iPod nano 4th gen 16GB properly in the car and is automatically charged. Even my iPod Touch 2nd Gen.. 32GB runs and is charged ...!
The adapter is slightly more favorable than that of "Scosche" but serves the same purpose.
I can really recommend it! 5 Stars
