WyMod Supercharger

Meet the WyMod Supercharger! A new accessory for your vintage Apple device. The WyMod Supercharger adapts the 30 Pin charging port for supported iPods, iPhones, and iPads to USB-C. This allows for USB charging and data transfer! But that's not the only trick the WyMod Supercharger has, it also includes FireWire charging for supported devices. This forces your device to charge at its maximum speed, ensuring faster overall charging speeds than using USB.

No special power supplies or cords needed. The WyMod Supercharger allows you to seamlessly switch between either mode using a simple switch!

NOTICE:

The difference between charging behaviors for the WyMod Supercharger are as follows: The Separate USB Mode/FireWire Charging variant electrically severs whichever mode your currently on when you move the switch. However, the Simultaneous USB/FireWire Mode variant always keeps the USB mode on. Meaning when the switch is set to FireWire, your enabling FireWire charging while USB Mode is still active, essentially as though you are plugging in both a FireWire charging cord and a USB cord to your iPod at the same time.

⚠️ Important Compatibility Notice

The Simultaneous charging behavior variant of the WyMod Supercharger functions properly and reliably for charging and data transfer; however, in some cases, especially on older iPods, you may experience temporary system freezing during use. This issue has been most commonly observed with iPod 3rd Generation models and is a known user interface issue - not a hardware malfunction. Even when the iPod appears frozen, it will still be recognized by a computer and function normally for syncing and data access.

Best Practices for Smooth Operation:

Before connecting to a computer, we recommend putting your iPod into Disk Mode to ensure seamless detection and avoid potential freezing. It's also suggested to use a USBC-USBC cord while connecting to a computer if possible.

When charging via wall power on affected models we recommend using the USB Mode/FireWire Charging variant of the WyMod Supercharger. If using the Simultaneous variant, charging will still work, but the iPod may become temporarily unresponsive during charging.

Battery Recommendation:

For best compatibility, we also recommend using the WyMod Supercharger with an iPod that has a healthy battery capable of holding a charge. iPods with degraded batteries may exhibit more frequent UI freezing.

The WyMod Supercharger only supports FireWire on the following tested devices:

iPod: 3rd-7th Gen

iPod Nano: 1st-3rd Gen

iPod Mini: 1st-2nd Gen
