I'm trying to charge my iPod using the cig lighter outlet on my 2003 RG. The cigarett lighter works, but when I plug the charging cord and iPod in, nothing happens. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Not trying to be a smartass, but you do know that it's a switched plug right? If it's working for the lighter, there is no reason it shouldn't charge the ipod when the ignition is turned on - unless your cord is bad.
If it works ok in the car but not the bike then I have you checked for power at the cig lighter?
The only problem I have ever had is when I used a cable for the wrong generation of Ipod.
Good luck
Rocky, I have the same problem with my charger cord from Sprint for my "newest" style Motorola Razr. The old Razr charged fine clipped to the clutch cable on it's cord, but the new one quit after a couple of weeks in the same application.
I have to agree that the cord itself may be at issue, because that big, nasty love-bug guts colored light glares out at me at night, but the dang phone won't charge. Ditto, the cig lighter works.
