    Works like its designed to

    If you are using a case this is not the product for you. The other 2 that wrote a review must have never had a case before on their iPhones. If you have a case buy the longer adapter. Use your brain people.

    Works with Yamaha YDS-10 dock and iSimple car set up.

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    I was very skeptical about upgrading my iphone 4 to 5 because of the compatibility issues, but it turned out to be a non issue for me. Got this adapter mostly for my car and it WORKS. I installed iSimple mod to AUX input so I could listen and charge Iphone at the same time, as a bonus I can skip tracks from the steering wheel. This adapter allows me to use the iPhone 5 just the same. My yamaha piano craft RX-E810 and ipod dock work with this adapter as designed. I can control my iphone through a remote, see my playlists etc right on the display.
    A slim case is a must for this mod to fit.

    Great Adapter! Works with my iSimple in Suburban!

    • Written by from SPRING

    5 stars because this little adapter does exactly what is claims! It works with my iHome alarm clock dock, all my existing cables and Yes! it works with the iSimple cord my husband had installed in my suburban about 3 years ago to play my iPhone/iPod over the car stereo. This adapter still allows the cord to charge my phone and it plays just as before with all previous functions and the sound is still superb. I am very happy!
    My only complaint is that I want a lot more of these adapters and they are expensive! I would love one to leave one on the dock and to leave one in the car and I would love to have one to carry around in my purse for emergency charge needs. My kids all want one for their iPods now as well. $30 here $30 there-Adds up quickly....Oh, those Apple geniuses...;)
    This adapter works fine with my thicker two piece case. I simply cut the thin little rubber pieces of my case off that were located on either side of the speakers and the adapter now fits and goes on and off easily. The cases were made for lightening not 30 pin. Cases and docks/connectors have always had issues. It is not the first time that I have had to modify a case to fit a 30 pin connector nor will it be the last I'm sure.
    I am very satisfied with this adapter. Then again I have yet to be disappointed in anything Apple. ;)

    Great dock convertor

    • Written by from Nottingham

    I used this to convert my JBL on stage iphone dock from 30 pin to lightning for my iphone5. The dock works exactly as it did before and the attachment to the phone is so firm I dont need to worry about the phone balancing.

    Works a treat

    Pity its not a little shorter

    Works as expected

    • Written by from Atlanta

    I have a MINI Cooper with the iPod connection (Y-Cable with USB and AUX to 30-Pin) and this adapter makes the connection work exactly as it is supposed to. I am able to browse my music through the stereo, skip tracks with the steering wheel controls, and it charges my phone. I don't have an in-dash display, so I don't know if things like MINI Connected will work with this, but the simple iPod adapter does.

    I would recommend getting the short cable adapter instead if you're going to use a case. I'm not going to take off stars for that though as it's clearly why they offer the other connector.

    No Power Charging

    • Written by from Plano

    Connected iPad mini to Klipsh speakers used with older version IPod touch.

    Sound came through but the device would not charge.

    Work on the connector for a while but could not get it to charge.

    Adaptor is Efficient

    • Written by from Corry

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

    Nice adapter, but poor decision in the first place.

    • Written by from Caslan

    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.

    Adapter needs case modified to use effectively

    • Written by from Cameron Park

    I bought an iphone 5 yesterday..I love it..however the Lightning to 30 pin Adapter was useless until I took a pair of kitchen shears and
    enlarged the bottom port holes on my flexible, poly case to fit the adapter. Now it fits perfectly and my iphone 5 is nested happily in it's radio/clock dock!
    AND my beautiful new phone is safe!

    It does what it's supposed to do.

    • Written by from Salinas

    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.

    WORKS ON IT ALL

    • Written by from Hollywood

    I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 5.
    I own a Bose Sounddock (from 7 years ago)- adapter works on it and can use my 5 to play music on it now.
    I own an Apple iPhone 4 dock- adapter works on it and I can still use it to charge my iPhone 5.
    My case is a SKECH and I do have to remove the bottom part but that is why SKECH cases rock because there is a bottom part to remove easily.
    Adapter work, works just fine, good buy for these type of items.
    But should be 19.99 at most.

    No Video Out!

    • Written by from FPO

    I bought this product after being told that it would support component video out, if the cable was an apple certified one, by a local rep. I have an Apple component cable attached to the tv in my car, so needless to say it IS certified. The adapter is very short an will not be usable as is if you have any sort of case on it. It DOES charge, sync, and provide audio out. It DOES NOT have video out support. There is currently no viable COMPONENT video out solution for the lighting port devices. I am very disappointed.

    Love it!

    • Written by from Soledad

    Much sturdier than I expected when connecting my iPhone 5 to my main speaker.
    Apparently one just needs to invest in the right case. I have had zero issues with my Incase Pro Snap case connecting to any of my speakers, dock connectors, etc.
    Unfortunate that people give the device poor reviews as a result of user error.

    If you want to be sure if it fit your case ...

    • Written by from Montreal

    Got a Incase Pro Snap Case and there no problem using the adapter.

    The adapter has the same tickness as the metal edge of the iPhone. Wide it start over the second small hole near the audio jack, and end 5 holes from the end on the other side of the jack. Is your case left this space uncovered, the adapter should fit. Guess it will help :-)
