    Agree with everyone. Not a good product if you have a case. I also have a speck. What a rip off. Great idea though.

    So versatile

    • Written by from Gorae

    Very cool product.
    Bought one of these a while ago and I use it everywhere. Instead of lugging your charger with you to friends houses, you can use this along with their iPhone 4 charger to charge if need be.

    Connects up to the existing car setup, which originally was for the iPhone 4. Works perfectly. I have been reading the reviews on the cases and I have a slim belkin case and have had no dramas connecting it up to that with the case being in the way.

    The lightning connector was far too loose on the iPhone5. It would not seat into the phone. Basically, it was defective. I am returning it ASAP.

    Charges BUT NOTHING ELSE!!!

    • Written by from Walsall

    This adapter is totally useless. I brought it because apple told me that it would support audio and allow me to continue using my previous docking station, however, I found that when connecting my ipod 5th generation to my ipig docking station the only thing it would do was charge my ipod. Therefore, audio is not compatible and the adapter is totally useless. Also, the connector is very weak and flimsy, i did not trust it enough take my hand from behind my ipod for fear of it falling off. Pointless product!

    Works in my Mercedes - so does what it says on the tin

    • Written by from Huthwaite

    16 of 27 people found this useful

    Does exactly what I wanted, and everything feels nice and tight when plugged in.

    Couple of issues though -
    1. It's expensive for what it is - £15 delivered feels fair, not nearly £30!
    2. This bugs me more - it only comes in white - my phone is black, the cable is black and everything inside the car is pretty much black or dark gray so it sticks out like a sore thumb.

    Come on Apple make some black accessories and give the option.

    Other than that allows charging and full music control through the car stereo, so am happy. 3stars only because of the above 2 points.

    Car Head Unit Adaptor

    • Written by from Pakenham

    32 of 36 people found this useful

    Plays music when attached to my Pioneer head unit with 30 pin plug. Does not charge the Ipod though. My old Ipod when plugged directly would play and charge the Ipod. Now I have to continually bring the Ipod out of my car to charge whereas i used to just leave my old one connected permanently.

    Apple really need to come up with a complete working solution since they decided to change to the lighting plug. I now have docking stations and more that are either useless or only partially working with the new connector.

    1. You can look at the box and tell if it will work with the case you have on your phone.

    2. It says on the box it does not support video output.

    All in all, I think it's great & I can't wait to use my old 6ft 30pin cord.

    This plug worked fine in my car for a couple of weeks...now when I plug it up all I get is SILENCE!!! Apple should not have changed the chargers/adapters/connections! This is really upsetting that I purchased a phone that is now useless for playing music in my car.

    Good for iPad, iPad mini

    • Written by from KAUKAUNA

    21 of 26 people found this useful

    We have two iPod touches (5th gen), an iPad (4th gen), an iPod nano (7th gen), and an iPad mini. This works great with the iPad and iPad mini. It is not case friendly with the iPods. If you would like something case friendly, look at the cable version. I use it a lot, seeing as the Lightning connector just came out. My iPad mini is the one I use it with the most. It syncs and charges. I gave it four stars because it is not case friendly with the iPhone 5 and the Lightning iPod lineup. I hope you found this review helpful.

    I have purchased apple Lightening to 30-pin adapter and attached to 30 pin connector (GL450) and it relays music without any problem. However, it is not charging the phone.When I connected using Scosche passport and apple Lightening to 30-pin adapter. It plays outstanding music and charges the phone simultaneously. Therefore, for those who want to use rightaway, please follow the above method. It also worked in Mercedes C350 car.

    Does not work with B&W Zeppelin mini

    • Written by from Frederiksberg

    I bought this, so I could continue using my Zeppelin mini iPhone dock. It does not however work like it says. It charges the iPhone, but the audio doesn't go through the adaptor. It just plays through the iPhone speakers. Really a shame, since my pretty expensive dock is under 1 year old.

    Lightning to 30-pin Adapter

    Waste of Money, it does not work with my Sony docking station stereo. Lastly get a cable to hooking it up? To be quite honest, looks pretty tacky. Not fan of the "New Lightning." Getting tired of Apple now.

    Need alternative shape - design fault new nano

    • Written by from Luton

    27 of 32 people found this useful

    I bought this for my new 7th gen Nano as it's the only way to get it to work with my old docking stations etc, but as the port on the Nano is positioned to the side not in the centre at the bottom it look rediculous....We all love apple for their clever design so that fact they didn't put the port in the centre surprised me ..... PLEASE PLEASE make an adapter which allows my nano to sit centrally on all my existing gadgets!

    Nice Option

    • Written by from New York

    24 of 28 people found this useful

    I like that I have the option of the adapter, the down side is that it doesn't fit through my case like the cable does. Had I realized this prior to purchase I would have bought another cable instead of 2 adapters. It would be nice if the adapter was modified to be able to fit through a case.

    Good but be careful.

    The adapter does not work with a case attached and the weight of the device is an issue. The slanting of the device on a dock can break the adapter. Very compact and is a good flush fit.

    Don't get it. I bought an iPad mini for my videos and got the adaptor to view my videos. Got it at an Apple store where they told me it would work with my videos. Big disappointment!!! Will be visiting Apple.
