Belkin 3.5 mm Audio + Charge Rockstar (iPhone Aux Adapter/iPhone Charging Adapter), White

Does the job i

Not all jack-lightning connectors work two-way. Some only allow you to listen to music but don't work for a phone call or a skype/zoom call. I purchased two other cheaper products in the past and had to return them.This one from Belkin works very well both ways and allows you to charge your phone at the same time. With intense use, it has lasted 4 months which for some might not seem to be a lot but you have to remember that this short piece of cable and adaptor was in and out of my pocket every day, bent to fit in, taken in and out at least 30 times a day which makes it bending more than 3600 times.My wired headphones did not last that long.

Having tried a cheaper lightening/audio adapter and a cheap BT receiver for my car, decided to give this one a try from Belkin which to my knowledge is a more reputable brand. Essentially I wanted to charge my iPhone and listen to music via the aux input at the same time in my car.Adapter build quality feels ok but can’t comment as much on durability as just received the item and tried it out. Audio is fine. When connected to both 3.5mm aux and charger there is a slight hiss which is more audible when nothing is playing, but this is far less noticeable than with the cheap BT receiver or cheaper alternative adapter that I’ve tried (and returned) and crucially is not so noticeable as to be an issue.. in a situation where only the 3.5mm aux is connected then there is no hiss.Overall does the job and worth spending the extra money instead of going for the far cheaper alternatives.

TL;DR: Great while it works - just don't expect it to last for more than a month or two in a car!I purchased this January 10th, 2019. It's April 16th as I write this.The initial unit I received worked wonderfully. It was installed in my car to both charge and send audio to my car's head unit. Plug in one wire, stick my iPhone in the car phone mount (now screwed to the dashboard, suction cups are not great!) and go - everyone's a winner.Then came February 2nd, 2019. Happily driving along, and the audio cut out. Strange. Must be a bad connection, I thought. Pulled over, wiggled the connector and the music resumed. I then set off, and it cut out again.This was how the first one of these units failed, and was replaced without question by Amazon, as expected. Kudos to Amazon as usual for excellent service.The second unit arrived on the 11th February 2019 and, again, worked flawlessly, up until today, the 16th April 2019, when this time the sound works but it no longer charges my iPhone.I've tried a couple of different iPhones - it's not my phone that's the problem - these adapters just cannot handle being used in a car, it seems. I'm not swinging off the cable itself, I always grip the connector itself when connecting or disconnecting.I would recommend you steer clear of this device. I've just found a Bluetooth audio receiver sold as being for use with old Hi-Fi systems and I think that may be a more reliable choice for car audio uses.A shame, as when this adapter worked, it was marvelous. It happily passed the full charging current to my iPhone XS Max without complaint.

It’s really the best one i have ever used for gaming and it doesn’t connect as bluetooth which it doesn’t make a sound delay :D I’m really happy with it and i advice it for gaming it’s the best. Thank you .. Mohamad from UK :)

Have recently bought an old car with no bluetooth or car play etc so needed to plug in to the aux for sound and cigarette socket for charging. Luckily Belkin still make products that do the job. Very pleased.

Finally I have found a splitter that works. I wanted this so I could charge my phone and listen to music with wired headphones on the train as well as charge my phone and listen to music through an Aux cable in the car. I went for some much cheaper ones at around £8 and they either wouldn’t charge or wouldn’t play music. Yes the Belkin device is 3 or 4 times more expensive but it works. Most of these cheaper adapters and cables stop working after a few weeks so I thought i would bite the bullet and pay up more for a trusted brand. Hopefully it will last a while.

I tried my luck with this adapter as I was looking for something I can use for data sync/transfer as well as use my lightning ear phones. I use an ethernet cable with my iPhone, as I have no wifi in my house. The cable did not work. Not only that, I received a pop up on my phone that this accessory is not compatible with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, so buyer be warned.Another odd thing was, this item was not actually brand new. It had clearly been opened and used before, as the base of the adapter had a lot of micro scratches and no protective film (the kind we all like to peel so satisfactorily from our new tech gadgets) and there was also no documentation/warranty information in the box as you would normally expect for a product like this. I'd have returned it for this reason alone, but I wanted to be sure it will actually work with my phone first.Bit of a shame as this is not exactly a cheap adapter, and Belkin is a fairly reputable company which sells directly on Apple's website. I've returned mine now, so the search continues.
