    Love this product. I looked all over the place for a product like this one but was unable to find one that works this well. Also, I didn’t see this product being sold on the actual Anker website so it might be something exclusive to Best Buy.

    so..... I did read other reviewers stating that this device makes some buzzing noise but, for some reason, I did not believe it... Guess what - it makes a CRAZY loud buzzing noise, when both, charging and audio are plugged in at the same time, in the car. The Belkin product of the same type does NOT buzz. So, Anker - please, do something about it.. because, I mean, it really makes me rate it as ZERO.... but, I will be nice enough to rate at 3 stars with hopes you will address the issue! No good... for this price - it is just no good... sorry...

    This device is now hard to find. The current model Belkin makes is for USB-c. This model for lightening works great for headphones listening. Have used it on three devices now. Got it for my son who studies with headphones on and needed to not always be running down his battery.

    Great product! Anker always has great products which last. These dongles are notorious for failing. I've bought so many of these types of dongles from Amazon and no matter what brand, they always quickly stop working (except the Belkin ones from Best Buy, but those are pricey). Once I saw Anker making one, I thought I'd give it a try as I've never had any issues with their products before. Unfortunately, this one failed on me after a few months, but they replaced it free-of-charge, so I'm very happy with that and am hopeful that it will last. I'm also confident that if it fails again, they'll help me out because I know the customer service is great.

    There are not many choices out there. It emits a high pitched whine through the speakers when both inputs are connected. I’m using it in a car that only offered iPod connectivity in the form of a 30-pin connector. I’m now willing to try one of those adapters to fulfill my needs. The side-mount lightning input is still a bit strange to me. It charges just fine. When the 3.5mm plug is removed, the audio goes back to the phone, which is nice. The lightning plug on the adapter is a hair thicker than ones I already have which may make it a little cumbersome while using a phone in certain case types. I’m in no hurry to replace it, but I still plan to do so. I hope this helps.

    worked really great for about 30 days...the day AFTER the return period ended, the unit stopped working. It would still allow charging but could no longer hear with my headphones. My headphones could connect directly using the Apple provided lightning jack audio cable converted. Just not with this. So I can no longer charge and listen at the same time.

    This worked well for my car. I am able to listen to music with good quality and charge it. Sometimes I would get a statically noise while charging but it doesn't happen often. Just had to replug it and it goes away.

    I purchased a 2008 car that only has aux on the radio and my iPhone does not have the aux port. I have a Bluetooth adaptor that works great but it runs out of juice if I forgot to turn it off (which I do more often than not). This allows me to connect and powers from my phone, allows charging while in use and sounds great. It is the perfect solution. I have been buying anker cables for years and they are very well made so I am not surprised this is well made. Eventually I want to upgrade my stereo in my car but until I do this is perfect.

    Works as described. While the orientation of the headphone jack makes the cables stick out in different directions, it is nice to have everything accessible through one plug.
