iPhone 7 Charger Headphones Adapter?

I have been searching for a solution, but can find a product, but they all have bad reviews like, "product doesn't work after 10.3.3 update.

Anyway, I have had an iPhone 7 for a week. I hate that I can't charge it wilt having the audio cord plugged into my car aux jack. My car doesn't have blue tooth. Does apple sell a two in one charger that lets you plug in a 3.5mm audio jack? I see the dual lighting cord adapter, but you still have to plug in the lighting to 3.5mm adapter. That seems like there are too may fragile cables that can get broken in your car.

I know apple won't endorse any products via apple care. Is that any Y lighting/3.5mm adapter out there (on amazon) that will work with the new iOS?

Cheers

The app controls volume and does firmware updates to the adapter. Apps in Apple's app store are safe, and are unlikely to do anything dangerous without your permission. The adapter may work without the app. Try it.

The adapter works, but I created another set of problems. With the adapter connected, I can no longer hear my phone when I'm listening to satellite radio or Regular radio i'm worried about missing texts or phone calls. Basically, when I plug in the my auxiliary jack I cannot hear my phone unless I have my car connected to my auxi input through the radio.

Can I program my phone to play a ring sound a text sound and even audio from my GPS while plugged in to the lightning/3.5mm adapter

I hope I am clear on what I'm trying to ask. If not, let me know. Thanks.

What you're describing is expected behaviour and your device should already be doing what you're asking about. Keep in mind that using a aux cord should route ask your sounds through it, but it also overrides the microphone, so you'd need to unplug it to actually take a phone call.

Copy you I'm not so much worried about being able to take a phone call while it is plugged in with the A/UX cord, but I want to be able to hear The phone ring or hear my GPS when it's plugged in to the phone jack

Here's what I'm asking, Get the phone jack is plugged in, but I'm listening to satellite radio instead of the iPhone through the auxiliary, can I still hear my phone ring or hear a text as it comes in?
