I'm in the UK and I have a cigar lighter<>USB adaptor and an iPhone USB<>iPhone connector. In fact I have several of these. When I connect my iPhone to the car's cigar lighter it doesn't charge. Sometimes the charging display appears on the iPhone, but the charge percentage display doesn't change. Sometimes when I connect the iPhone to the car no charging display appears on the iPhone, it just doesn't respond. My cigar iighter<>USB adaptors have a red light that comes on when something is connected, indicating that the adaptor 'know' something is connected. This red light usually comes on, but the phone doesn't charge.

I've seen other reports of this problem, but I don't know the fix. Is there anyone who can make a suggestion?

I would like to get navigation software, but it's pointless without being able to keep the phone on charge in the car.

Thank you for any help of suggestions.
