molaman, I was browsing around TSB from Nissan and stumbled upon this one.

iPodŽ Charging with Nissan Interface System for iPodŽ
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Nissan with Nissan Interface System for iPodŽ(factory installed or accessory installed)
SERVICE INFORMATION
Please be aware that a recent design change was made by Apple to their iPodŽ and iPhoneŽ products. As a result of this change, some customers may report that their iPodŽ/iPhoneŽ device does not charge while connected to the Nissan Interface System for iPodŽ.
The Nissan Interface System for iPodŽ was designed to charge the customer’s iPodŽ with a 12-volt power source, which has been supported by all Apple iPodŽ and iPhoneŽ devices until the latest generation. After Apple’s design change, these new devices only support charging via a 5-volt source, which the Interface System does not provide. Customers may see error messages on the device screen, or notice that the device’s battery discharges while connected to their vehicle’s interface system. Please note that while charging may not be supported, playback and control through the vehicle’s audio system are still available.
Compatible Devices:
All Apple devices that support charging via a FireWireŽ connection are compatible with the Nissan Interface System for iPodŽ. These include:
• iPodŽ Classic – 1st through 6th generation
• iPodŽ Mini – 1st through 2nd generation
• iPodŽ Nano – 1st through 3rd generation
• iPodŽ Touch – 1st generation
• iPhoneŽ - 1st generation
NOTE: Refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual for further Nissan Interface System
Information.
Non-compatible devices (as of 12/8/2008):
• iPhoneŽ 3G
• iPodŽ Nano – 4th generation
• iPodŽ Touch – 2nd generation
Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.
Nissan is working closely with Apple to ensure full compatibility with our future Interface Systems, but as Apple’s change was made without adequate notification to Nissan, at this time there is no plan to modify the current Interface Systems for the 2009 model year.
Please make customers aware that there are products available in the aftermarket designed to reduce the 12V power source to 5V and should enable their device to charge while connected to their vehicle. A few examples are provided below, however, Nissan expects these types of aftermarket solutions to become even more widely available considering that Apple’s change has impacted the charging ability of many automotive OEM’s iPodŽ integration systems.
Aftermarket Solutions:
PLEASE NOTE: Nissan has not tested any of these aftermarket solutions and makes no endorsement, warranty, or guarantee of performance or compatibility for any specific third party accessory. These devices are advertised by their respective manufacturers to resolve 12V to 5V charging issues, but have not been designed for or tested with Nissan vehicles.
