Is there a way to get charging to work on the Itouch when plugging into the Jensen 9022 Car Head Unit?
I have a Jensen 9022 head unit and I lost the ability to charge newer ipods when I plug them into the car radio. Before, I had the Ipod classic and I was able to control my Ipod through my radio (select songs, etc) and charge it at the same time. Now with my new Itouch I can control the Ipod through my radio but I loose the ability to charge it. I have realized this problem with the Nano also when plugging into the radio.

Yeah, this is confusing, isn't it.
Apple switched from the 12V usually provided by fire-wire to 5V usually provided by USB. That said, check w/ Jensen and see if there is an adaptor for your car radio. My iPod integration kit not only got a "new cable" but also a "new authentication chip". I got both and installed them into my car. Oh, yes, you might need an authentication chip now as well. That happened last year in one of Apple's firmware updates. If Jensen has no solution you can TRY one of the commonly available adaptors. This is not the one I have but if you amazon: "Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter for iPod & iPhone " you start getting the idea of what you are looking for. Still, you may find you need that authentication chip. If you do, and Jensen is not supporting their head units, it might be time to find a new car radio.
-good luck
