I picked this up so that I could charge my iPod while using it with a portable amp. This was fine for that at first, but now that all iPods can only be charged via USB, this adapter’s firewire port is pretty useless. Once I got a new iPod with video, I needed a new portable dock.
Even if you still use an older firewire connecting iPod, there are some smaller models that do exactly what this one can do, but are about the size of a quarter.

I’ve had this product for several years, and it has worked fine for me. Bought it for my 4G iPod, but it charges my new Touch too. Of course, I have to power this cable with an old FireWire 12V charger. It wouldn’t help you charge a newer iPod if you only own USB accessories.

Bought one of these about 3 years ago; work as advertised for my 3G FW iPod.
Sik is the only manufacturer I can find that makes line out cords. I was never happy with the radio transmitters made for cars, so instead I use this cord to connect to my car radio s line in AUX feature. Great sound!
On the downside, after 3 years of heavy use the cord has finally shorted out on both the FW and line out ends, so its constuction could be improved, but since its the only FW line out product I know of, I am going to buy another.
BEWARE, only the line out audio feature will work for a USB type iPod. The Firewire data/power cord will ONLY work with an older Firewire type iPod.
