Have 2015 BMW 328XI GT-when I hook up iPhone 4S via USB, alternates charging/not charging every 1-2 secs. Will this cable fix this problem?

Amazon took down my review. The cable works with my 5s but the 12v adapter lasted 10 minutes. Not sure if it works with the 4

The iPhone cable that comes with your BMW plugs into this device and then to your iPhone. If you do not have a BMW iPhone cable then you will need to purchase that separately. This charging cable does not connect directly to the iPhone.

I have not had a chance to use the charger while riding with the GPS yet so cannot comment on the charger. In order to answer this we need more information. Are you calling the charger the GPS unit? Is the iphone 5s plugged into the same location as the gps for power? If both of these are trueand the iphone has no problems than it looks like the GPS or its charger are a problem. Is everything plugged into the unit properly? When it was wired in is it a good ground location?

I have this Skiva charger & IPhone 5 and have never had a problem. Is it possible the IPhone charger you are using and not the Skiva adaptor. I have heard 3rd party charges do not work on the IPhone 5.

It works fine with my iphone 5s but the end that plugs into the phone or iPad (I have the iPad 4 with retina) had a tendency to separate exposing the wires. I've sent two of them back for replacement. Frankly I've yet to find a durable cable and I've tried most...including Apple. The cheap ones fromChina that look like white ones manufactured for Apple are just that - cheap and absolute junk. Stay away from them. As my father taught me, you tend to get what you pay for.

Initially it worked for me, but now it won't. I would plug my phone in to charge while also using the aux input from my phone to listen to streaming radio through the speakers. Now it stopped registering that i have plugged in the USB to get power to the phone. I tried a different USB cable and it worked at first, but the next morning when I tried again that cable wouldnt work either!! what the.. Luckily the cables still work with other outlets so the iHome did not kill the cable.

I was able to use this cable on my 4S UNTIL the ios8 update. I think my phone says this is an incompatible device or something like that.

Not an answer, just another person who would like to know the same thing- why am I getting this warning for my iPhone 5c and why does it charge intermittently instead of every time I plug it in?

Sorry I have only used iPhone 4S on it. That works fine. It does charge it, when plugged on.

Are you using the Apple supplied lightning cable? I had that issue charging a iphone 6 with a third party cable.

Kimberly, I have mine connected through USB into a plug in my 4runner. I have to turn on that outlet to receive power. If I'm driving and using the device it's charging provided I have the outlet turned on and the device turned on. Come to think of it, I don't know if it charges with the device off and plugged in. I hope that helps. I will say that I really enjoy having it, so far so good without issue in pairing the device with my iPhone 4s.Jason

Yes every time your I phone updates it reconfigurs so it won't use none apple chargers. Bummer, my techy bother in law told me this. So it's just cheaper to buy authentic apple product.

I bought it for my 2003 Victory to charge my iPhone 5. It worked for about a month, but now I get the "charging is not supported with this accessory" message. I do not get that message using the same charging cable in my car or in my home, so it has to be this outlet. Perhaps because there is no voltage regulator? I don't know what the solution is, but my phone clearly doesn't like it. Any other iPhone 5 users having trouble with this outlet?

Don't know what that is. The only thing we tried was the iPod. Some of it may be Kia, I know the car will not charge my iPhone 5s using the USB cable.

I have a 2012/2013 BMW X1 with the idrive system and it worked well. Althought I'm using the white cable from the iphone and it is also working perfectly, charging also.
