    Works perfectly in 2010 WV Sportwagen...

    • Written by from RESTON

    Just upgraded to an iPhone 5 and added this adapter to the phone end of my Cable Jive MDI extension (30 pin) in the car and it works perfectly. All interface options work perfectly, steering wheel and radio buttons work great. The only draw back is that I need to remove my case to allow the Lightning plug to plug in to the iPhone 5 hence the 4 stars and not 5.

    than the cord that came with my iPhone, which sadly only works in certain positions. I've had my adapter for a few months now and it works really well to charge/sync my phone. It also connects to my Bose SoundDock with no issues.

    Morons.

    Everyone who keeps reviewing this bad saying they bought it to use with an iHome or something similar and complaining it didn't work is a moron. If you couldn't tell that this little adapter wasn't going to support the weight of your phone, or iPad then you deserve to have spent 30~45 dollar for nothing. Especially with the fact that the Lightning Connector is tiny as heck. This worked fine for me for converting all of my cable based accessories. Other than that, stop being cheap and pick up a new dock. You spend all this money on a new device and then you're mad when your old devices accessories don't work with it? Grow up. This is how it's always been. Welcome to real life.

    I use this with my new iPod in my very old Bose docking system. Works perfect, though looks a bit odd.

    Works fine w/ iSkin Claro case, on iPhone5. A little pricey, in my opinion.

    Works with my iPad mini and iPhone 5 including with cases on (both Marware and Casemate cases). Would rate it a 5 star if it wasn't so expensive.

    Nice adapter, but poor decision in the first place.

    I dislike apple's switch, primarily because of the purely digital signal coming from their new connector. I really wish they just would have stuck with the 30 pin, although significantly larger.

    But, the adapter. It is sturdy however not too visually appealing. On the device it looks like a growth. However it works and is much needed. As for the expense, considering it sports a Wolfson DAC and solid Apple branded construction, it is not as overpriced as many people claim it is.

    this adapter plays the music from my iPhone 5 on my JBL sound dock. It looks funny, and as the ad says, its analog audio, but it works just fine.

    Fits perfect with Otterbox defender series

    • Written by from Redding

    It seems like it was made for this case. I appreciated the positive reviews saying it fit because I was almost afraid to try it. It snaps in. I like the secure fit, but not so tight that it scrapes. I gave it 4 stars because I think it should work with video. It is a keeper for me. One of the things I dislike about these kind of adapters is that they aren't really secure. When it is on, it feels like it is part of the case phone set up. It also comes out easily.

    I used last night to charge phone and worked ok. I have an otter case and fits just snuggly ( I tried at store before buying). I'll try video and see what happens...

    I have an otter box case and this adapter works fine with it, as long as the bottom of your cases is completely open and doesn't have separators for each speaker and the jacks it will work just fine. so far have had no problems connecting it to my I-home dock..... Great adapter to have if you have multiple 30inch pin cords.

    Good for iPad, iPad mini

    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.

    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.

    No Video

    I have an iPhone 4 and now an iPad mini, bought this to connect the mini to the Apple Composite Cable that is connected to my home stereo. Disappointed to find out that this connector does not have Video capability meaning I now cannot watch content on my iPad mini to my stereo or TV.

    Come on Apple, it should "just work". I would like to hear the reasoning behind leaving video out from its features...

    Apart from this, all other functions work fine

    Only good for my car

    I don't have a case or anything for my ipod nano so the charger fit fine. The adapter hooks up to my car perfectly and syncs and everything. The audio is great. The only thing it didn't work with is my iHome from like 4 years ago. I don't know why it doesn't work but I'm kind of disappointed that it doesn't play music from my iHome alarm clock.

    For all the Case Complainers

    The 30 pin to lightening adaptor did not fit with my case either. So what did I do? I whittled my case with a jackknife and made it fit. It doesn't look the greatest, but its the bottom of the case so who ever sees that anyway? And if you want it to look perfect then go buy a new case that has more space on the bottom.

    What can I say? It's an adapter. It does not fit threw the case of my iPad mini. I'll have to either remove the case or try to modify it to accommodate the adapter. Other than that, the adapter works fine.
