It is charging the phone even when it says it's not, albeit VERY slowly (and depending on what you're doing, the power drain may be higher). http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...0&postcount=12 |
Okay so I went to the dealership this morning and they told me that the cable that works with the iPhone 4 even with the lightning adapter will not work properly. I spoke to a representative at the parts department and he told me that in June or July they will be coming out with a new cable to support the iPhone 5. I'm hoping this comes sooner because now when I try to plug in my regular iPod I've lost all controls on my center console. It's been reduced to only charge my iPod and play through auxiliary rather than the iPod setting. I was going to purchase another cable but they sell them for about $90 And I feel that's kind of a waste of money especially since the lightning adapter that I purchased was about $40 and it wrecked all the controls on that y-cable. It doesn't look too good for us right now. Hope this helps
