I am looking for a car charger for the 5S. Not a USB port, but just a integrated charter and coiled cable. I've seen a few, but they all have mixed reviews about how the 5S won't use them to charge since they're "not compatible" with the cable, etc.

Is this a case where due to the cable restructions, you just have to buy a USB adapter for the cigarette lighter and use a Apple genuine lightning cable?

Apple has 3rd party car chargers on it website that will work fine.
 
Those 3 works great. I've Griffin and Belkin charger and it's awesome!
 
I already got a USB charger, so I use my Apple cable with charger that has USB port. I put the white apple cable away when I park.

Apple Store sells car chargers so look into those.
