Will I be able to play audio over these cables (from my iPhone 5 to my car's USB port) ? Many non-Apple brand lightning cables can't play audio...

Hi CC, Short answer: Anything that the OEM Apple cable can do, this cable can also do. The chip inside the cable is certified by Apple for use with their 8-pin devices. This chip is one of the main explanations for our higher price compared to all the generic cables out there. MFI (i.e. Made For iPhone - Apple certification) cables are very expensive to produce, especially for 8-pin devices such as iPhone 5. Besides being longer and having other colors, the only significant differences between these cables and Apple OEM is the slightly larger connector head, and that we use thicker materials for extended durability. For all buyer reading this, if you have any product specific question regarding ANY of our products, feel free to contact us directly through this link:

I'm not sure. This is charging cable that is the same as the charging cable that you receive with the Apple product, so if you can with the original cord, I would think you might be able to within this one.

I used it as part of a system to connect my iPhone 5 into my car charger and MP3 input. My iPhone5 is connected via a 5 connector on one end and the 30 pin on the other. I use the extender to get the distance to wrap it around my dash/door, etc. so I can hide the cables. It charges my iPhone just fine and plays through the MP3 connector (which gives me better sound, BTW, then connecting through the earphone plug). So, I don't know why you aren't charging.

I have a Logitech s715i dock with a built in Apple 30 pin connector. I can use the Apple 30 pin to lightning adaptor with my iphone5 and it will play music through the dock. The cheaper knock off lightning adaptors may allow you to charge but they do not pass through digital information that allows the playback of music. I use my cablejive in my car as without it I could not pass through digital information to my car radio, I could only charge my iPhone. But I use the lightning adaptor to get the digital information to go into my cablejive because my cablejive is 30 pin apple. Hope this helps..

Only if you use the Apple Adaptor to convert from 30-pin to lightning. Don't use the cheapo brands if you want audio.

They do not work with the newest iPhone earbuds. One can hear game audio and chat audio, but the in-line mic does not work. I looked around and saw others had this issue as well. It DID work with my older iPhone headphones until those died.

I haven't tried but it's a very straight forward device. There's a USB port that's just there to charge your phone (which an iphone could totally use) and you'd connect your audio through Bluetooth. So I can't see how it couldn't work.

As long as those interfaces are capable of outputting audio to a 3.5mm stereo male jack or usb, I don't see why not. It was my understanding that Lightning is for data transfer and power, in which case no, it will not work. Doesn't your device have a headphone jack? If so, this speaker will work great with the supplied cable.

I just tested mine out with my 5S. No issues at all. I am using the AmazonBasics USB A to Lightning Compatible Cable (3 Feet/0.9 Meter) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009SYZ8OC cable in my car with it.

Not with out an adapter to the newer lightning connection. You can get those from Apple.

For charging you will need an dock to lightning adapter but for just playing audio it will work.

Yes. I'm listening to my iPhone 5c with the 30 pin/lightning adapter right now. You just have to spring for the official Apple adapter, $30. Generic adapters may only let the music pass through, but might not allow the phone to charge.

If it has an aux port and a usb port to plug these into, there's no reason for it not to work. Bare in mind this is for the iPhones 4S downwards, but if you get an adapter for the iPhone 5, like I did, it works fine as well

So that you get an informed answer, I'm going to forward your question to my daughter. She and her family of 5 are the ones who have the iPhones and have used these cords. I personally have no experience with iPhones. She won't get to your question until tomorrow morning, since she is out tonight. Sorry.

The A/D cable does not work in both directions - the signal flow must be *from* the audio end *to* the USB end. That means you can not play out through your USB jack using this cable.You will need a D/A box to play out from your USB port to your speakers, and probably an amp as well (unless your speakers are powered). You can find these little guys branded as external USB sound cards, typically for under $50. Some of the nicer ones have gain and processing controls, but most will have an 1/8" TRS jack rather than RCA or full size phono jacks. When you go looking for a solution, remember to consider all the connections you'll have to make as well as power considerations.

Cables did not work for me. I have the iPhone 5 and bought these cables with an adapter hoping it would work. It did not.

Yes and No it does not support an iPhone 5 because it has a 30 pin adapter however you can work around this issue. You can use an auxiliary cable. You would connect the cable to headphone input on your iPhone 5 and then connect the other end to the audio in jack on the speaker system. Or you can buy an adapter that you attach to the old 30 pin connector the new connector is at the top of the adapter and you simply attach your iPhone 5 and then your music will play through your system. Auxiliary cables are the cheaper option you can find them for around $5 where as the 30 pin to lightning adapter runs around $30.

Sound quality on Bluetooth devices is a confusing issue. So I'll try to clarify. There are two defining factors : 1. "Audio Source Quality" and 2. "Bluetooth transmission CODEC". 1. is simple enough, but 2. isn't. A BT device has several "Codecs", that it works with. For audio stream, major ones are "aptX" "AAC" and "SBC". And "SBC" is the root cause of "inferior audio quality on Bluetooth". "Sub-band codec" is the full name, and it's a codec designed for devices with low processing power. To put simply, it sounds absolutely aweful! If your smartphone supports "aptX" and or "AAC", the sound quality will be good, good enough that average person will not notice degration. With "SBC", most music fans will notice the difference. Then it will get really confusing, if a device only supports "aptX / SBC" and not "AAC". Most Androids support "aptX / SBC", in this case, "aptX" will be used and sounds fine. iPhones on the other hand, only supports "AAC/SBC" and not "aptX". In this case, iPhone falls back to using "SBC", and works with bad quality audio. And Mediabridge seems to be this device, that "Works well with Androids" and "Kinda works with iPhones, albeit with bad quality audio". If you ask anyone about the "Sound quality on BT device", it is vitally important to know "What was used with", as you may be comparing oranges to apples, two completely different codecs housed in the same box. For marketing reasons, as long as a device works even with SBC, it is labled as "Wokrs with iPhone". You should be very careful choosing a BT device for audio, to use with iPhone. #If you weren't satisftied with the earbuds that came with an early Apple iPhones, you will definitely notice the high-pitched harmonic distortion of SBC.
