iPod touch 2G with iPod Photo dock?

Hi!

I have an iPod touch 2G and got an iPod Photo dock (P/N 603-5495).
The iPod fits mechanically, it is charged and I can synchronize it using the dock.
But I can't get anything from the line out or the S-Video out (using a standard S-Video cable at least).

Is that dock not fully compatible or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I bought it new - from ebay (it was cheap and also actually supposed to be a Universal Dock).
I thought the dock connector was the same on all devices, so it should work in my oppinion.
But basically, all I have to do is to put the iPod in the dock and it switches audio/video automatically to the dock's output, right?
If yes, I guess mine is either broken or it is indeed incompatible.

I didn't try "the" AV cable (if you mean one from Apple).
I used a standard S-Video cable. Since it says "S-Video out" on the connector, I assume that this should also work.
The line out connector doesn't work either. When I dock the iPod, the sound still comes from the internal speaker and there's no signal from the line out.
The dock doesn't have an IR receiver (I think that's one of the main features of the universal dock).

All in all, it's not that tragic for me since I just wanted a dock for my iPod that allowed me to synchronize and charge it.
I would have never used the video- or audio-output anyway, I guess.
I tested it only out of curiosity.

BTW, the seller's name is icebeezx (the item id is 290283883750).
I guess you're safe when you look for the IR receiver in the pictures to make sure you get a Universal Dock - assuming the picture shows the actual item you get.
