Q: QuestionDoes this allow audio in so i can stream while charging my phone?

Asked 7 years ago by JAY.

• A:Answer If you mean you can play music and charge at the same time, then yes. It works great, unlike some cheaper connectors I bought on ebay that never worked. I use it in my older car that doesn't have bluetooth. I plug the audio cable into one side using a lightening converter adapter that came with the iPhone and then plug my lightening cable to the other side and I can stream music in my car and charge at the same time.
