Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me or assist me.. I am in search of something that will extend my lightning cable. Currently, I am using a device made by Vaistech called iVic which basically overlays my head unit and allows me to to mirror my iPhone to my screen on my Lexus.

Currently I am using a 6 foot anker braided cable (which works incredibly well FYI over the standard lightning cables. I am connecting that to an HDMI/ Lightnng cable http://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-digital-a-v-adapter-white/4858651.p?id=1218555764139&skuId=4858651

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...g extension&qid=1448893655&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2

The issue that I am running into is this is the only lightning cable extender that I could possibly find on the market and it is from China, which the product works fine but the problem is it DOESNT charge worth a sh*t.

Any advice or anything helpful as a replacement would be for this situation would be greatly helpful. If you have any advice feel free to email me jgodwin@vology.com Thanks again for all of the help!

What you posted was the dock connector AV adapter.

How much length do you need? What can't you use a longer cable instead of an extension? Extensions can cause trouble.
