In this description the NUMBERING is INVERSED: Pin 1 is Pin 30 and Pin 29 is Pin 2. If you disassemble the original apple-ipod-dock-connector-cable and look at the connector itself, on the back side, where it is soldered, you can see the number 1 and 30 (e.g. It is become available after publishing of most pinouts and not used on this site. *There are two pins numbering schemes for this connector, this one (on right column) is from Apple manual. Tying either wire to 5V could damage the target - use resistors tied to 5.1V and ground to be safe. The resistors are not to critical 2x 150k's still work.Īdded correction: iPod 2.1A charger advertises 2.8V on D+ and 2.0V on D. This way the USB function is still useable for normal operations and makes it easier the fit in a plug. It's also possible to charge the iPod's or iPhone's battery to make use the of internal +3.3v output (18) terminal to connect the USB Data + (27) thru a 47k ohms resistor and the USB Data- (25) thru a 47k resistor to the USB Power source +5v (23).


To charge iPod Nano pins 25 and 27 should be tied together and then connected to a 10K ohm resistor, and the other side of this resistors then needs to be connected to 5v power. This is a notification to the iphone that it is connected to the external charger and may drain amps from the usb. This can be done with a few simple resistors: 33k to +5v (23) and 22k to gnd(16) to obtain 2v and 33k to +5v and 47k to gnd to obtain 2.8v. To charge an iPhone, 3G, 3GS, 4 / iPod Touch, 2nd gen, 3rd, 4th or Ipod Classic (6th Gen), usb data- (25) should be at 2.8v, usb data+(27) should be at 2.0v. For quicker charing, up to 1A, see below.

This provides 500mA of current for charging. IPod 5G can also be forced to charge by attaching the data + and the data - pins to the 5v via a 10k Ohm resistor ( BOTH PINS) and connecting pin 16 to the 5v (ground). To force the iPod 5G to charge in any case, when USB Power 5 VDC (pin 23) is fed, 25 must be connected to 5V through a 10kOhm resistor, and 27 must be connected to the Ground (for example: pin 1) with a 10kOhm resistor. Pins 25 and 27 may be used in different manner. Looks to be that when this pin is grounded it closes a switch so that on loss of power the Ipod shuts off.
