iPhone charging in the car didn't work properly

I bought this product to charge my phone in the car. When you connect your phone charger to your car's USB port, it will automatically switch your speaker to car speaker and prevent you from using your phone's speaker while charging. I was annoyed by this noise so I bought this USB adapter hoping to erase some of the cable's data. When I plugged this adapter in, my phone beeped every 10 seconds when I first plugged in the charger. In the 20 minutes I used it it was only able to charge 3% and Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Works exactly as described

I never knew such things existed until I read an article about the safety hazard of charging your phone with free USB sockets at airports. This gadget also solved the problem of plugging my iPhone into a USB port in my car to charge it, only to have the phone and car in an endless embrace trying to sync or play a song I was listening to had never heard of. I will take it on a trip to use the security aspect of charging at the airport. Good deal, good product.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Good cheap solution to slow charging

Product works exactly as described and seems reliable and should last a long time. I've had several chargers advertised as 2.1A, but none of them could charge my iPhone 6 Plus or iPad fast enough. I daisy chained this product and using the USB Power Monitor sold by the same company I could see a current increase from 0.48 amps to 1.89 amps on one device. It did NOT work with my BMW 3 Series (2014 model year). I was hoping it would speed up this charging process as well, but either the carโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computer accessories and peripherals
Cons
  • I will add later

Works for my power bank but not my SUV

I originally tried to use this to block data in my SUV so I could charge my phone faster. It wasn't working properly and my phone kept ringing saying it would charge then not, charge then not. It didn't work out, but I think the SUV is to blame. This car does all sorts of weird things when I try to connect my phone via USB. So it was a failure. However, I used one of these data blockers on my portable phone charger and it worked great. Without this adapter, the battery will only charge at anโ€ฆ

Pros
  • USB cable
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options

Fixed charging problem in my car

I bought this adapter to solve a connection problem in my car. I have a 2012 Hyundai that includes a feature where it can connect to an iPhone via USB and play music from your library. If your iPhone is from 2012. My modern iPhone doesn't work well with the car's firmware, resulting in it constantly trying to reconnect to the car when plugged into USB. I just wanted to be able to charge my phone while driving and this bug prevented that. Enter PortaPow - it disables data connections on the USBโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Slightly torn
