one other question. The port in the cradle appears to be correctly using a USB 3.0 connector, but the cable and the port on the back are only USB2???

The back side of cradle has micro USB connection (for 5 volt DC Power in) then charging time depend on your AC adapter or your USB host.

I have the same problem. Installed this part. The charging ports works but the mic does not. The only way to make a call is on speaker phone because the apparently does not use the mic on the new board. There must be another mic on the phone. The bottom line is that these parts are not fully functional.

Hi C. Prendergast, I do believe I have used it in a USB 3.0 port before without issues. USB 3 hubs are supposed to be back compatible with all USB devices, so if it is giving you issues make sure you have installed any controller firmwares/drivers that it may require. Hope this helps :)

I don't remember getting a charger with this. I'm pretty sure you use the one that came with your device. That being said, I'm glad I bought the cradle and have been very happy with it. You should be able to find a standard USB charger to plug your cable into just about anywhere these days.

The usb connector should have been in the bottom of the shipping box. It threw me off, too. If not, look for a miniUSB to USB cable.

This plug is an angled mini usb type, so if your cradle accepts that type of connector then it will work.

Thanks for your suggestions, Bubba. I did try to charge it from my computer as well without success. I've had the iPod for a little over a year and probably didn't use it enough. The functionality of a GPS would have increased its usefulness to me immensely, but adding the cost of a battery replacement to this cradle makes this a rather expensive move. To be sure, I'll follow your tip and try a different cable, but I'm not overly optimistic at this point.Edit: The USB cable *was* the culprit. Got a new one today and just ordered my GPS cradle...

My Amazon order on Dec. 11 produced a cradle with the old firmware. If you need it now, you would be better off at a store where you can inspect the product before purchase. Dual is providing me a free upgrade, but I still need to pack and ship it.

The cable plug is quite tight-fitting. Just line up the pins on the cradle to the holes on the cable and wiggle the plug on.

Do you mean using the cradle? Not that I know of. I plug mine in to the micro USB to charge it.

It's total crap. Doesn't work because I don't believe it's USB 2.0 compliant. Return it as "defective" (so you don't have to pay for postage), demand a refund, and then tell amazon to remove this nonfunctional item from its store. Good luck!

What the other guys said. Additionally, maybe it's a defective one? If the USB 2.0 pin doesn't work in any of your motherboard USB 2.0 slots, then maybe try a RMA?

Mine came with what was described as a USB 3.0 cable. I don't have a USB 3.0 port, so I plugged it into one of my USB 2 ports, and it works just fine. I hope this is helpful to you.

Mine came with USB3 and USB2 cable, I used USB2 cable to a USB port on my motherboard, Worked fine!

Oh.. my bad.. I didn't get that one.. I got the 'Cable Matters' micro USB to SlimPort one. It's much better, and you don't need to buy "accessories" for it either. It's a sufficient standalone.

How old is "older" ? If the tablet is only a couple of years old, and the problem is located where the charger cable fits into the tablet, then the cradle will not help. If you know the cable connections at the tablet are good, and there is nothing wrong with the tablet, then the cradle should work for you.
