I've ordered several of these over the past year or two. All in all I was impressed. However, the last order wasn't that good. I bought the newest for a family vacation. I received the cable and it worked at first. It became sporadic during the day. I found it worked with a half turn and I was able to make the trip while it worked. Then at home (only a week after purchase) it really started to fail. Now it's mostly useless. Considering I've bought several of these and only one seems to have gone south, I had to think about how to rate it. On the one hand, three out of four were good. The last one was broken. Therefore I give three stars. I think I'll try another cable to replace this one.
