There is an option on the device to change was frequncy is it set to, tune your radio to the matching number and it should work.

If your problem is getting it connected, there will either be a wire at the bottom to plug into your ipod (goes in the same place as it does when you plug it into the computer) or it will be mounted right on the device. Make sure it is fully attached on both sides or it won't work.

Same problem... Did you find a solution?

Yes as long as the wattage voltage etc... align between the device and the max output of the adapter you should be just fine in this particular case. I have the same adapter and I can not even remember what it initially came with but it has been so handy that I will keep it as long as it lasts. ;)

You would have to read the warranty on the product to know for sure if it is in fact, still under warranty. They could possibly tell you that because "you" broke it that it isnt a problem with the device itself. If it came apart that easily i'd call and complain. It may not be working because if the insides fell out some wires may not be attached anymore, or a vital peice of the chip inside of it got damaged somehow so i hope you don't talk to a rude person in tech support for it becuase i think that may be your only option.
