SiK today announced that it is accepting pre-orders for imp and FireJuice for iPods with a dock connector. imp is an iPod car charger with line level audio output — a standard 6-pin FireWire connector is included for owners of previous generation iPods (with FireWire port on top). FireJuice is SiK’s “patented multi-mode FireWire power injector that makes it possible to use bus-powered devices on computers with un-powered FireWire ports.

SiK announced today that it is now shipping three new FireWire accessories specifically designed for use with the iPod. FireJuice ($27) provides full iPod functionality with un-powered FireWire ports, and eliminates the need to charge the device from the Apple AC adapter before connecting to a computer. HotWire ($16) is a power-only FireWire compatible cable that allows users to charge their iPod from a computer’s port without forcing it to reboot into Disk Mode.
