Will this Lightning to 30 Pin adapter work with car chargers that were compatible with previous iPhones 3 & 4?
I am able to play music, audiobooks, etc. from my iPhone5 in my car with the cable I previously used with my 3GS ( headphone jack to Auxiliary input in car). But without a charger I will run down the iPhone5 battery. My current car charger uses the 30-Pin. I don't see a Lightning car charger available yet. Can I attach this adapter to the current charger? Thanks.
Best Answer:It will work with the iPhone 4/4S car charger.

Best Answer:
All original Apple Chargers come without charging cables. So if you have an old but "original" Apple charger that definitely has an USB type output port, you can use either the old 30-pin docking type cable (other end is USB) or the new Lightning cable (other end is USB) with the aforementioned original Apple chargers. What counts is the power rating of the charger versus the Apple hardware you want to charge. However some new Apple models (such as iPhone 5, iPod Touch/5G, iPod Nano/7G, iPad Mini and iPad 4th Generation) carry the new Lightning connector and you definitely need to use an original Apple cable (USB to Lightning) bcz. this is a "chipped" cable and ordinary 3rd party cables mostly will (should) not work!... This Lightning to 30-pin Adapter is also "chipped", so you can connect either an original Apple (USB to 30-pin) cable, or some other 3rd party (OEM) USB to 30-pin cable, or say a charger having a fixed cable (with he 30-pin socket at the output) to this adapter to charge your iPad Mini. No sweat!...

Answer
I just bought this for my (UK) December 2011 VW Golf R Mk6 and it works fine with the MDI cable. The same 'full' functionality I had with the 4S (although says wont stream video, but I don't do that). As per a few other reviewers, a bit annoying that most cases need to be removed to connect it, but otherwise works a treat.
Hope that helps. -

What does it mean for "iPod out"?
Will this adapter allow my phone to play music through car stereos that have USB ports for iDevices?

Best Answer:Based on my research it seems this adapter will only be good for charging and syncing. It is not clear if Audio will pass. If no Audio passes then all sound docks will be incompatible.
If Audio passes to sound docks then information may not pass to car stereos for steering controls etc. You would have to use bluetooth or the headphone jack with the stereo aux input. This is going backwards.
Many people are under the impression if they buy the adapter their new lightning device will work with the old 30 pin devices. Folks are complaining about the price of the adapter and how many they would need. They are in for a big surprise when the adapter is not compatible.
This adapter issue and nano sim card is a deal breaker for my upgrade. I hope I am wrong and the new devices are fully compatible with the old devices when the adapter is used.- Answered by A B from New York

AnswerI use this adapter with the I-Home AlarmClock/Radio dock and it works great. One your device is connected it will prompt you to download a free app from store onto your device. I use mine with i-pod 5th generation.

Best Answer:
No it doesn't work. I learned the hard way that it's only designed to be used with apple products that require a 30 pin connector. I purchased the adapter to use with my families ipad and ipod nano and neither work with this AV cable.
