Why does my iphone 5c keep disconnecting when charging in my VW polo?

I recently bought and iphone 5c, my car has an MDI port so i can play my music through the head unit and also charge the phone. this worked perfectly fine with my old iphone 4 and appears to work with my friends iphone 5's. When mine is plugged in it disconnects and reconnects every 25 seconds or so.


I don't think it's the car or the wire itself as it seems to work fine with other iphones. Any ideas?

I have the official VW iphone 5 adaptor. I have tried 3rd party 30pin to lightning adaptors to put on the end of my old iphone 4 mdi cable but they only charged the phone. they weren't compatable with audio.


i've tried my friends iphone 5 in it today so i'm starting to think its the phone. but why would it work sometimes and act up other days?
