FM Transmitter / Car Charger

Question

FM Transmitter / Car Charger

Anyone having issues with their car charger / fm transmitter working with their new iPhone?
My Car charger says that this device is not supported. Therefore, I have to go get a new one. Anyone have this issue and if so, have you found a car charger /fm transmitter that works and that is good?

4, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I am also having the same issue. From what I have heard around town is that none of the old 3G and 3Gs FM/Car Chargers work with the iPhone 4. I don't understand why particularly since the usb cable is the same for every ipod and iphone I have ever used and the charger I have charges all of those but it doesn't work. I was told is was the iOS4 that actually negates the charger from working, which could be feasible since my iPhone 4 will connect to my charger and even charge for a % or 2 but then says it is not compatible.

I called Apple about 3 weeks before the 4 was released and I was told they would work with the new iPhone...now that I have the new iPhone, my car charger does not work. I need to find a new one that will work...anyone have any respectable car chargers/fm transmitters for the iPhone 4?

For what it's worth, I have a Griffin Power Jolt that works fine with iPhone 4. It doesn't have FM, but maybe the Griffin FM transmitter would work?

I can tell you the new Ios4 update has rendered my car charger useless for my iPhone 3GS.

"this accessory is not supported for charging"

This is obviously an attempt by Apple to force all of us to only use "made for iPhone" devices which Apple gets a cut off for each sale.

Poor, poor form apple.
