KCE-422i to fix iphone charging issue?

[jamiez]

Hi

So i have an intravee 2 and KCA-420i and know about the iphone 5v charging issue for the newer iphones.

I know you can buy one of these to fix that http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iPod-iPho...6?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item4163af2532

But i bought one and then it broke from usage - plugging the phone in/out everyday.

So I was wondering if i caould use either this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KENWOOD-I...1?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item3cb5eb732d

or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alpine-KC...3?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item1e6d8a4b83

to achieve the same effect but in a much neater way - this cable plugging directly into the KCA-420i and no adaptor in the middle of it all.

Thoughts?

Cheers
Jamie

I've just swapped to a newer ipod in the car & have this issue now too, not sure there's gonna be an easy way to find the answer without buying & testing?

I guess you could ebay message one of them asking if you could return it, perhaps on the promise you'd get 1 or 2 more orders on here if it worked?

Have you asked the question on the intravention forum?

Pretty sure that won't work.

Later Alpine radios use something the call hi speed or full speed, the KCA-422i and KCA-433i are cables that connect directly to a socket on these radios. I'd be amazed if the connector was the same as the iPod cable from the KCA-420i.

You can reduce the stress and strain on the in line type charge converters by using a fully wired iPod dock extender cable. There are plenty of extender cables available on e-bay, but I'm not sure if they have all the connections that the KCA-420i requires. I know this one works http://www.cablejive.com/products/dockXtender.html the cheaper ones may or may not!

When you use the dock extender you connect the charge converter between the KCA-420i cable and extender :

KCA-420i cable -> Charge Converter -> Dock Extender -> iPod/iPhone.

The junction between the KCA-420i cable and Charge converter can then be hidden out of harms way.

Thank you - yep, had confirmation from Intravention the cable i found will not work!

Thanks for your explination. I have purchased an extention cable and will do as you detail thanks!
