CableJive - 2 ft. Dock Extender Cable in Black

Not fully compatible, but works 2010-09-05

Reviewer: Paul M

Product is exactly what I was looking for to extend the dock cable in my Mercedes E class sedan. Surprised that I get a message each time on the iPhone saying the accessory is not fully compatible--it is just a cable. What pin did you do wrong? At least it works. Also, many other cables have a locking mechanism to squeeze to remove and this does not seem to. But it works and let's me dangle the dock cable through the edge of the glove box and install my iPhone each time to listen to music and podcasts over the radio.

FWIW this plugs in fine on my phone with the otterbox defender on it.
i noted that some people needed to reduce the plastic a little bit with sand paper but i did not need to.
Works fine. Charging and playing music with a speaker dock that wont accept the phone with the otterbox defender....

I got this product so that I could extend a cable in my car's audio system for an iPod/iPhone hook-up. There is no loss of audio fidelity or clarity compared to the other cable I was using before. The cable is a little thicker and less flexible than I thought it would be, but this testifies to the durability and strength of the cable itself. The dock connector part is maybe the only aspect of this product I have a qualm with but one that I doubt has a remedy. The dock connector has to be wiggled into the iPod or iPhone that you plug in and I wish that it could be more like the Apple cord that I have that does not require you to press the sides of the connector cable to remove it. This is a small and inconsequential difference but it is a difference based on my preferences and desires for a perfect product. Because of that I give this product a 4 instead of a 5, not because of quality but because of one particular design aesthetic. I would recommend this product to friends and I would tell them that it works perfectly.

Defeats the purpose 2010-05-20

I was dissapointed with this item as my sole purpose for spending the outlandish price on this cable was due to the fact that I just got an OtterBox for my IPhone. Well the problem is that the case is rather annoying to get on and off so sheding it nightly to dock/charge my Iphone was somewhat out of the question. This cable does not fit inside the OtterBox. My Rocketfish car charger and standard Apple wall charger both fit no problem. The problem is that they use a connector that is roughly 2 times bigger then necessary. Fortunatly I own a Dremel and was able to bring down the edges of the connector so that it would fit. I feel that this is just a HUGE oversight on the cable manufacturers design. Most of the people that I've spoke with got the cable due to docking case issues as well.

Short story. This cable dosent fit like it should and will need "resizing" on the part of the consumer to fit most cases.

Wider than the Apple cable 2010-03-24

Reviewer: C. Riley

Why would you make a cable that is wider than the Apple cable and not disclose it in the description? That is the question here.

If you want to use this to increase the length of a cable, be sure that you do not have any type of case (e.g. Otterbox) that expects a standard sized Apple cable. This is wider than the Apple cable and so is not useful with a wide range of cases.

It is not rocket science to create a cable with ends the same size as the standard cable. Hopefully someone will make a cable extender with standard sized ends.
