Thinking about picking up a Mophie Juice Pack and was wondering if the supplied cable will work with a car stereo USB iPhone/iPod input? I see they say you can still sync with iTunes with the cable but does it also work in the car?
Got a tip for us?

I'm wanting to use my iPhone with my car stereo. Right now I have a USB connection that I use a standard iPod/iPad/iPhone cable. I'm able to play my music and charge my phone at the same time. The stereo also controls the iPhone so I can change songs or podcasts from the headunit. I'm just wondering while using the mophie I will lose this ability.
It works!
Yes, it will totally work, I have my Juice Pack plugged into my car charger whenever I'm driving.

Not what I thought you meant
Hey I just want to clarify, that you will not be able to control your car stereo iPhone controls when connected through the Juice Pack. I thought you just were wondering if it would charge the phone in the car while connected to the Juice Pack, so I wanted to follow up just to clarify.
Thanks,
Nick

Nick,
I picked up the Juice Pack Plus and it works perfect with my car stereo. I pluged in the supplied cable to the USB port in my car and I'm able to control my iPhone with my car stereo controls just as if I wasn't using the case. It also charges so I am 100% pleased with my purchase.
Great job and LOVE the case.
