iPod classic 160GB charging question
i have an iPod classic 160GB, it is the 6/7th gen.
In my car im using an alpine kca-420i ipod unit which allows me to use my iPod in my 2004 bmw M3.
I'm pretty certain that it charges 12V, and for it to charge my iPhone i have to use a 12V - 5V adaptor. I proved this works by not using it with my phone and it didnt charge, then i used it and it worked.
But when i use my iPod classic with or without the charger, i get a charging symbol where the battery life is. This confuses me a bit, as when its plugged in regardless of battery state it shows full and charging, but when i unplug it the battery life may show half charged, or sometimes be dead!
In the pictures i took the charging symbol is the same:
Can someone tell me if i defiantly need the 5V adaptor to charge the classic or not? Thanks
