Car charger compatability with iphone

will a regular ipod car charger charge the iphone?

I use some Griffin brand car charger, I think, and it works great on the iPod...on the iPhone it is less than par for only one reason...the iPhone doesn't realize it is plugged in but it is still getting charged. It keeps kicking battery life down and down, even to the warnings, but once I unplug it and unlock it, it shows the proper charge. Weird I guess but it still charges it nonetheless.

you can connect your iphone to a charger which provide 10MEGA amps
amps are pulled not pushed the amps is just the limit of how much it could provide

Does the iphone 6 use the same car charger as the iphone 5

does the iphone 6 use the same car charger as the iphone 5

My setup in my car is this: I have a 3-foot USB to USB extension coming out of my factory USP port in my vehicle, and attached to the end is a short Apple lightning cable. I ran this combo through the console and up and out by the steering column - with a Bracketron holder that clips into my vent. Worked great with my iPhone 5. I tried it with my iPhone 6 and after about 30 seconds of being plugged in (while driving) it said the accessory was not compatible. I unplugged and tried multiple times ... no dice. Today I went into my local Apple store and discussed it with genius. He said the iPhone 6 phones have an special chip inside of them that will detect third-party charging devices (in my case it was the USB extension). They did this because of some instances of fires with non-Apple lightning cables. I purchased a 6-foot Apple lightning cable, and replaced the old setup and it works fine now.

When will there be a car charger available for iphone 5?

I want to know when there will be a car charger available for iphone 5?

Texasgirl97: You do not need a car charger "with a Lightning connector on it". Car chargers have a USB port; all you have to do is use the cable that came with your iPhone 5, which has a USB connector on one end (plug it into the car charger) and a Lightning connector on the other end (plug it into the iPhone 5). Car chargers are cheap, much less than $50 or even $30. I've seen some advertised for around $10. Some even have two USB ports. Extra cables are becoming available now at around $10. Search Amazon.com or other on-line vendors.

What color should light up on my car charger when my iphone is plugged in

WHAT COLOR SHOULD LIGHT UP ON MY CAR CHARGER WHEN MY IPHONE IS PLUGGED IN OR JUST THE CHARGER IS?

That depends on the manufacturer of the charger...check the user guide that came with it. Apple typically uses amber when charging and green when running on line power.

Will any iPod charger work with iPhone

Does any (Apple) iPod charger work with iPhone? I would like to charge the phone in different places without carrying the wall charger with me all the time. I got my regular iPod charger and was hoping that I can use it. I noticed that the wall charger that comes with the phone has a lower amp rating than the iPod charger I have. I would think this shouldn't make a difference unless everything else (e.g., the connector wiring) is the same.
Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks

I believe so. Check this link http://www.apple.com/iphone/questionsandanswers.html scroll to the section Accessories for iPhone and read the first one.
I'd imagine if there was a problem they would have mentioned it. Also, if it makes you feel any better, I've been using iPod charger to charge my phone and so far it's been working fine.

Will a iPhone car charger work with iPad 2

Can a iPhone car charge a iPad or not? I'm using a DC/USB car adapter but when i plug it in it said Not Charging.

It will give that message but if you turn the iPad off (it won't charge if it is working) and give it about 8 hours it will charge despite that message.
You'd be far better off investing in a car charger designed for the iPad and you can also use it with your iPhone.

FM Transmitter/Car Charger Compatibility

Apple Store item description indicates Monster iCarPlay 200 is compatible with 3rd Gen Nano. Purchased...didn't work on my iPOD, but did work on neighbors older gen. iPOD. Talked to Monster Technical and they said iCarPlay 200 was not compatible with 3rd Gen iPOD and that they had no other transmitters that were compatible. Can someone confirm that they have an FM Transmitter/Car Charger that is compatible with a iPOD Nano 8gb 3rd Gen. Obviously, I am a bit reluctant to trust Apple Store descriptions indicating compatibility.
Thanks Paul

I recommend this FM Transmitter:
Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Car Charger for iPod

I'm using this one with my iPod nano 3G. It works great!

I need a car charger for my iPhone 5. Which one?.

Hi, i need a iphone 5 car charger. There are so many chargers, which is the best car charger?.
Some chargers say 5watts and other say 10watts, i don't know the difference.
I found a Belkin iphone 5 car charger, is it good?.

yeah but if i buy the 10watts one, it will damage my iphone 5?.
or is better to buy the 5watts one and that's it?.
another question is, is better to buy a Lightning cable OEM and this http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J044-Belkin/p/P-F8J044?q=::devicePath:/Device/IPHONE/ IPHONE5

Backup was corrupt or not compatable with iphone

backup was corrupt or not compatable with iphone

The same happen to me in a iPhone 4, trying to upgrade from ios 6.1.3 to ios 7.0.4.
I have make three backups of my iphone, then I have restore firmware with the new ios, and when I have try to restore my backup, after two minutes I get this error... tested with all the backups happens the same.
I have 3 iphones, and this only happened in one of them... but it's not the first time that I lose data when apple backup software tell me that all my backups are ok... and they aren't... I like a lot of apple products (I have 3 iphones, 1 ipad, apple tv and 4 apple computers), and they work well... but having two backup problems with diferent devices... I begin to think that backup in apple it's not good enough...
Regards.

Pre won´t charge on regular outles, only on the car charger or with the USB to the computer

I went away this weekend and was not able to charge my pre, none of the hotel outlets worked, it was very frustrating. i get home and it doesn´t work either, only when I connect it to my mac. How do i fix this? help!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I have this problem also. When I use the wall charger or a car charger, my Palm Pre usually fails to go on charge. Sometimes it does after unplugging it and plugging it back in a couple of times, but often it doesn't. However, it works 100% of the time when charging from my laptop's USB port.
I use the exact same cable for all three, so it's not a cable issue. It's unlikely that both my wall charger and my car charger are broken. In fact I believe that there's something about the USB data connection that "wakes up" my Pre to tell it a connection has been made. On a dumb, power-only connection, it has a problem.
I am thinking about returning my Pre because it's a huge pain to charge it off my laptop when I'm out and about all day.

Where can I find a car charger/player with an old connection?

I have an i-pod nano 5th generation and until recently had a Belkin car charger/player that plugged into the cigarette lighter but it has broken. I want to source a new one but they all have the new size of connection. If I play it through the USB cable it constantly resets itself and starts shuffle at No. 1 again. Any ideas?

Try this.

Compatible: iPod car charger cable with new Verizon iPhone...Safe?

Compatibility between my iPod cable in the car which is connected to a radio interface in which I plug in/ charge/play my iPod AND my new Verizon iPhone. Will the cable in the car safely charge and 'read' my iPhone? I would hate to blow this thing up But if it is compatible, it saves me much aggravation.

Hey Alan Seglin & welcome to the forums.
Whether it will work or not depends on a few things.
The biggest factor is age of the radio interface. A lot of older interfaces aren't designed with the iOS devices in mind and so do not charge them properly or allow the user to control it. What kind of iPod are you using with your stereo right now?
You may find that you can play music but have no real control over the iPhone & it may not be charged, either. You shouldn't see anything harmful happen to your stereo or your phone, though.
