Reviews for Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2m)

I bought this as I have a 30-pin dock and charging point on my digital radio and I have been using this adapter to connect my iPhone 5 to it to play music and to charge it. Exactly one month and 20 days after it was sent to me, this adapter stopped working completely. Now I am back to square one, not able to play my music from my iPhone 5 through my dock. Oh, and £30 out of pocket too. An expensive piece of kit that didn't even last 2 months. I will never understand why Apple changed the iPhone 5 to lightning.

I bought this item because I have a load of older devices using 30 pin connectors and I though this would be a convenient way to charge my iPhone 5 and new iPad using the existing cables (I had already bought the Lightning to 30 pin adapter - without the cable - and found it useless as it was too large fit my iPhone with its protective case on, whereas the plug on the Lightning to USB cable supplied with the phone fitted fine).
For some reason the Ligntning conector on this cable is significantly larger than that on the Ligntning to USB cable. You cannot tell this from the photos - indeed the connectors look identical. Consequently this cable will not fit devices with many covers/cases - including Apple's own iPad cover.
Why two different sizes of Lightning plug? I would understand if this was made by a third party manufacturer but this is an Apple product!

i bought a clip in adapter for my jbl doc but the ipod was too big to fit in so i decided to order one from apple but doesnt sync with my itunes or imac only thing it does is charges my ipod dissapointed i wasted £30 for a cable what only charges wanted a one what synces my music :(

Having recently upgraded my old iPhone and iPad to the new iPhone 5 and iPad 4th gen, I was advised that I needed this adaptor for my old apple accessories. This is very expensive for what is a simple adaptor and I feel should have been provided with the main items.
It then gets even worse when connecting it to my old hdmi video connector I get the message that it is not supported and now find I have to buy yet another adaptor.
Apple need to think these things through before releasing them (a bit like maps) and cease subjecting their loyal customers to buying overpriced adapters to do what their old equipment did.

The cable works with all my docks, and you can still control the phone from the dock also (play, pause, next, previous etc)! I appreciate its a clever bit of kit and not just a lead, but just seems unnecessarily expensive to get back to doing what past iPhones did! A necessary expense but does the job well!

Having discussed with the chap in the Apple store that I wanted to use my I-phone 5 in conjunction with the VGA projector in work, I purchased this with reassurances that it would work.

The standard 30 pin VGA adaptor works splendidly with my I-pad, alas not with this attached to it.

Very poor show Apple, especially when the Lightening to VGA adaptor DOES work with my phone.

Can we perhaps solve this with the next iOS update?

Apart from this it's another wise good addition to my Apple Stable, allowing me to keep one lead in work to charge both I-Pad and I-phone now rather than worry about losing the Lightning-USB lead.

Works well for all audio and charging needs.

however as stated in the item details it will not play video so don't buy if this is what you want it for.

Works perfectly with all the docks and dock connector products I have used, very happy, works in my car as well which makes me very very happy :-) I can now listen to all my tunes whilst driving! :-D
