Is possible to charge iPod Classic 3. generation with classic car charger?

Hi everyone!


I would like to know if I can charge my old iPod Classic 3. generation (Model number: A1040) in my car through classic „cigarette lighter“. I lost original FireWire cable and the new one is so much more expensive than the car charger in „cigarette lighter“ to 30 pin.


Will it work or do I need ONLY original FireWire charger? Thank you for your answers and tips! :)

Hello smeky,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I understand from your post that you would like to know if you can use a 30 pin adapter that is connected to a cigarette lighter adapter to charge your iPod Classic. As long as there is a 30-pin adapter connected to it then you can use it to charge your iPod Classic.


Best Regards.
