Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) (A1450) is not recognized by my Iphone 5s!!

It is very possible that plugging the adaptor onto a vehicle manufacturer's cable does not connect to all of the pins. It may not have all the same pins on that 30-pin cable as the Apple cable. I would tend to believe this could be a manufacturer fault rather than Apple, but I would check with the manufacturer. Many of the vehicle manufacturers are beginning to have lightning cables available for use with the newer phones for vehicles now.

I have this problem too. Received a genuine cable adaptor today and it is saying it is unsupported on my iphone 5 and also my wife's 5 s

You might need to take it back to Apple. I have a 30-pin to lightning adapter and it works with the cable in my 2012 Hyundai.

I am getting the same error. After a 30 minute drive each way to the Apple store, and not discovering the error until I got home, I am pretty upset. This is the reason we all buy genuine Apple accessories, so we don't have these kinds of warning messages and errors.

Time to go back to the store and have a Genius actually plug the next adapter into the phone to be sure it works before I leave the store. Grrrr.

In my case the error message happens before I have anything plugged into the 30 pin adaptor end, so it occurs immediately upon plugging in the lightning end. Now I get the same error when I plug the lightning end when the 30 pin end is already connected also.

So who knows?!?! Thanks for the reply. Anything else to check before heading back to the Apple store?

I returned mine and got a new one which works perfectly. It was just a faulty adaptor, don't waste too much time trying to find a fix is my advice although I know it's a pain to return.

I would just return it. And again, check the device before you drive away.

This is exactly right. I returned the connector, asked the guys to let me try the new one in the store and it worked perfectly. I demonstrated the error in the store and they were surprised. And the new one doesn't throw that error at all.

So it was just a faulty connector. Just my luck that it would be my first and hopefully last broken Apple product.

I've had iPods before the iPhone came out, and we have had iPhones since they came out. We have 5 of them in the family and two iPad minis. Out of all of that, we only had one fault and that was an iPhone 4 that the front facing camera did not work out of the box. It was bought and activated at AT&T, they replaced it right there and with the exception of my daughter cracking a couple of screens, we have had no issues since.

Having same problem using adapter on Apple plug and cord with ipad. Not recognized when I plug adapter into the ipad, but if I unplug the end at the electrical adapter (wall plug) and re-insert at same point,it is recognized.
