Reviews for Lightning to 30-pin Adapter

Purchased (3) of these so I could continue to use my existing car charger, 30 pin connectors/chargers in the house because my family has multiple iPads and whoever designed this did not take into consideration any type of case, be it for the iPhone or the iPad.
I'm usually very impressed with the thought put into anything that Apple designs but they sure missed the boat on this one.

i recently purchased this adaptor trying to make my old ihome work with my new iphone 5 and have had nothing but problems. the adaptor will charge my phone but i can not play music through the ihome it will only play through the phones speakers. Apple u need to make a new dock that has the new lightning adaptor so i can finally have an alarm clock that works with the newest line of products you have released. seeing how you are making all the new products with this port you should have released a whole new line of products to keep your accessories up to date and not continue selling outdated hardware that the newest consumers of Apple can not use

I bought this adapter at Target thinking I could attach it to my 30-pin to HDTV cord, but noooo... what a stupid idea to think it would work with other Apple connectors! Silly me. Only after I got the rather shocking "This device not recognized" error message did I angrily log onto the Apple's website to complain, but only then learned it DOESN'T CONNECT WITH VIDEO. WHY the heck not??? Shouldn't Apple adapters be compatible with Apple connectors?? Lack of video support should at least be put on the packaging somewhere. Arrrggh!!

I purchased a Speck cover from Apple for my IPhone 5. Then I ordered this adapter so I could charge my phone in my car. Problem is that although my phone charger will charge the phone with the cover, the adapter will not. It doesn't make sense that Apple would make the stem too short. I can't use it and took it back. It is worthless to me. Redo this product. It is not deserving the Apple name. I own an IMac, Ipad2 and my Mini IPad ill be shipped to me soon. I love all the things I have purchased but this thing is a joke. Our phones are suppose to save us time. This doesn't!

I only gave it the one star for what it is suppose to do. If I could give it no stars I would.

I bought one because I have a 5 and my wife has a 4s. That way if we wanted to listen to music on my phone I could just plug that in and use the same cable. It recognizes, charges, and lets me control it but no sound at all. It's not the phone if I put the regular cable in it works fine, but this adapter means no sound which makes it useless

Also, it's really tiny. I think the picture is bigger on my iPad screen than it is.

I own a few iHome clock radios that have the 30pin connectors. Love these radios but now with my new Mini iPad it will not charge while docked. It will play music but will not charge at the same time. Whats the point!!! Apple why don't you get your stuff together and stop making our lifes difficult. Add standard ports and stop ripping us off on all these nasty add on adapters. I carry enough stuff around without worring about more adapters, cords and chargers.

I bought three of these adapters in the hopes that I could use them in order to use the radios I had previously for my iPhone4. They will plug in and recharge the phone, but the adapter is completely useless when it comes to transferring the data to the radio systems in order to play my music. So I wasted 90$ on a bunch of useless trinkets that don't play the music on the electronics I bought them for. Further more, they don't even fit properly if you have your case on.

Avoid at all cost, apple obviously didn't think this item through, I'm thoroughly disappointed.

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.

I have the Roxy stero system and the ihome and neither works with this adaptor. Only my chargers work with it. I guess I need to buy all new bluetooth accessories??
