The new IPOD Classic 160 won't let you choose the TV out function unless it is plugged into the new, not yet released dock. Most older docks and accessories don't work. I have a Sonic Impact V-55 that I just bought which doesn't work. Does anyone know which pins are involved in the lock out of the TV out function? Is there a new 33 pin, pin out somewhere that shows the pins involved, or is it the same 33 pin, pin out that is on this website? and if so what might need to be done to enable the TV out. It seems Apple found out that when people hooked there Ipod up to the TV using the dock or AV Cable into the headphones, the battery drained rather quickly unless it was also hooked up to a charger. So the new dock has a charger built into it and it won't allow you to choose TV out, ask, on, unless this new dock, (Or certain older ones) are connected to it. Is there a hardware hack around this so I can use my V-55?
Thanks

iPod has disabled the TV out with any connection device that does not contain one of their ID chips. I've spoken with Apple tech support on the issue and was basically told "tough luck."

update on my previous post:
I've just finished talking to Apple support again. Apparently they really don't care that several million dollars of hardware isn't compatible with the new iPods, despite the fact that the only real difference between them and the hardware that works is an authorization chip in the new hardware, and there are no plans for that to be fixed anytime in the near future. Their reason behind that is that they wanted to reduce the number of tech support calls from people trying to figure out how to turn the video out on or having video quality issues. Draw your own conclusions, but I'm thinking this isn't going to be a good thing for them from a PR perspective.

Just plug your iPod into iTunes. It will tell you that there is new Firmware available "1.0.2" i think it is. Just let iTunes run the update, the it will work right away. I was shocked!!
Hope that helps..

ok, a little caveat to my last post.. Now that you are able to select the TV option, it seems that you are still not going to get any output signal unless the iPod detects an "apple brand video connection accessory". While testing, I noticed that its ready for TV output, but just sits there until you attach the correct cables. I have a Dynex kit, that I got from BestBuy (about $55) the audio/video cable you use in the headphone out jack, doesn't work, nor does the Doc. To bad too, this thing has a cool little remote. Pretty much nothing works.. At least the base sits the iPod upright while charging it, so I can at least watch something while doing something else at the same time.. Any way, Step 2.. We need to get apple to release firmware that will allow us to use any 3rd party accessories.
