What's the point of dedicated car chargers? I mean seriously, I'm sure everyone already has a car charger with a USB port. Just use the USB>Lightning cable.
maybe i will.
Look i don't appreciate the attitude
mods?
nope these things are proven to degrade battery life
$30 for a car charger?
That is insane.
How hard is it to spell Lightning? Seriously?? Light. Ning.
This has got to be the most misspelled word on MR right now, ever since the iP5 launch.

the usb ported ones.
I think its something to do with the wattage not being delivered into the cable efficiently. thats why you always buy specific car chargers, not the usb plug in ones
Great to see a 3rd party Lightning cord but I will just stick with my USB car charger adapter.

I purchased an extra USB/Lightning cord from Apple but I would also like to be able to charge other devices.
how is the dock a "lightening accessory" its a lump of metal with a hole. You have to provide your own Lightening to USB cable to make it work. that is a gip.

Exactly. One reason I got a Scosche charger with dual-USB. It can charge the iPhone 4S just as well as an iPhone 5 or an SGS III or Nexus 4, or iPad or Kindle...

If they are all from the US, UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, any other part of the former British Empire, or any other English-speaking countries, then they clearly are idiots. However, not everyone on here is from English speaking countries, and thus our bizarre and confusing language might trip them up. Just sayin'.
Maybe I will.

Really
The reason the cable is permanently attached is so they don't intrude on Apples Lightning territory. If they did a USB to Lightning + a USB car charger dongle they would be taking away Apple's shares of Lightning sales.
Instead of going through Apple for every cable, you would be buying one from Belkin and getting the features of a car charger too. If they just sold the USB to car adapter no one would buy it. I may be wrong, but it may be Apple's fault. Too bad.
The dock is just stupid though.
Well then you already have a solution - any of the USB car chargers with an extra Lightning cable. But a few people *do* want the cord attached - one less thing to lose in their car.All of the above.
Nobody wants to go back to days where the cable was permanently attached to the charger.
The real question is this: How on God's Green Earth does Belkin not implicitly understand this?
