Ipod Dock Connector - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

I have a Pioneer Dock for my 1st gen nano and I was wondering if I would be able to use that same dock station with the new classic? Is the old connector and and pin out the same as the new classic models?

yes and no

Yes: the pinouts of all the ipods with dock connectors are the same.

No: My dock has a model specific cradle that holds the ipod in place. I keep my 5th gen plastic piece in, and my daughter's 2nd gen nano sits right there. its not snug, but it works.

Obviously, if I put the nano plastic piece in, my 5th gen ipod won't sit in the dock.

I have a bunch or plastice sizers, if its loose a little foam on the back will fix it, just as long as that connector fit!

Thanks
