A:AnswerContact Belkin customer support. Had the same issue with mine. They just need a copy of the receipt and a picture of the adapter. I called their support number. It took awhile to get through about 20 mins so make sure you have time. But once I got through they were very helpful. I had the replacement a week later.
A:AnswerNo, Brendan. The Belkin Charge RockStar delivers power into your iPhone/iPad, and Audio out. It does not support syncing or any other USB data, or similar protocol like Serial or UART. It only supports Lightning Audio.
