Think you are in for another genuine apple lead (I say genuine because all others ae horse **** and die quickly - the girlfriend has an Iphone... Grrr) and some creativity You mentioned having touched the connectors in the dock - presumably after finding the Ipod pinout but to no avail?

Unfortunately the Alpine cable, although connectors are identical, is unique. The standard USB to apple connectors don't work.. I've read there is an internal resistor somewhere to tell the HU what device is connected.

The dock didn't work before or after I messed with the internals. Originally the analogue audio out from the phone was diverted to a 3.5mm phono connector on the dock, what I tried was to reroute them the the other end of the dock but still no luck...

I think I might have to create my own dock which the Alpine lead & phone will fit snuggly into...
