CableJive dockStubz Micro Dock Extender for iPhone / iPad / iPod

At some point in the development history of iPod, those naughty people at Apply removed the Firewire power input from devices, rendering chargers, docking stations and worst of all, my car adaptor unable to charge. dockStubz fitted in line eliminates the problem - pure and simple.

When I bought my car it had a Sony CDX GT44IP cd/radio ready head unit already fitted so I decided to leave it in for a while. Besides, after several months of trying, I couldn't actually get it out. Eventually I gave in, took it to a local car audio dude and even he took nearly an hour and several crowbars (soft plastic trim removers really) before it finally relented. Turns out somebody had modified the catches so that all the keys we tried actually wedged it further in. Anyway, it was out and thats when I found the iPod cable. Unfortunately, although it would play (once we solved the "plug too big for case slot problem) it wouldn't charge. No use at all on a long journey. So, had I sold my Nokia loving soul to the iDevil for nothing? Thats when I learned that Apple had switched the charging circuit from 12 volts down to 5. Cheers Apple! I tried every kind of charger going (rather than pay Apple prices) and several adaptors, none of them were pretty and none fixed the charging from head unit problem. Then I read about dockStubz. Other adaptors had claimed to solve the problem but only this one claimed to solve the problem where others had failed. I contacted CableJive in the US who said it should fix my problem and would accept it straight back if it didn't. When I said I was in the UK and had found it in stock a Mobile Fun CableJive recommended them most highly so I bought one. It arrived by teleport. OK, so I'm exagerating a bit, but it was quick service! Just an anonymous black plastic thing (in a nice box)with plug one end, socket the other, much like the other I'd tried. Obviously good quality but nothing earth shatteringly outstanding about it, if you know what I mean. I ran like a gazel (Aye, a fat one mebbies) out to the car and plugged it in. Guess what? IT WORKS. No "charging not supported" message, excellent audio,full track control, phone still worked with the car kit. SORTED! Just as a little bonus, it has a micro USB socket on the side to inject more battery power if you need it. This also allows you to sync the device using a micro USB cable instead of an Apple one. The adaptor is also sized so that it will fit through the port opening in many protective cases! So, If you're having the Apple charging problem try dockStubz! If you need to know where to buy it try MOBILE FUN. Worked for me!

This item is perfect, it does what it says on the tin! I didn't need to replace my docking station which cost quite a lot, I'm really happy with my purchase and would recommend it 100%

Perfect little adapter, allows you to charge your iphone4 using the desktop stand which comes with apple gadgets, but which won't fit the iphone4. Great, sturdy, fully functional

Yes it does extend the dock port on my iPhone, unfortunately the details said 'works with any case!' it does not fit my 'lifeproof' case. The product was persuaded to fit by brutally extracting it from it's plastic case and enclosing it in heat shrink tube to reduce the bulk. Fits fine now!! :)

This dock extender does what it is supposed to - extends the connection point of what ever you are trying to connect your iphone ipod to. However, it feels very flimsy when my iphone is connected to my clock radio. You wouldn't want to knock it!.

Bought this so that the ipod interface in my audi would charge my iphone whilst playing through the car. Does exactly what I wanted it to; coupled it with an extension cable, it charges and plays and is easy to use.
