Hi guys,

I have a incar iPhone 5 car charger for about a year and has been working fine until yesterday when it kept coming up saying that this cable/accessory may not work correctly with your device.....Also now my desktop stand doesn't work either :mad:

Does anyone else use a iPhone 5 charger in their car? I mainly I use it for TomTom, luckily for me I had a spare Tomtom device in the car as I had about 4% battery left on the phone when I arrived where I was supposed to be :eek:

Tempted to buy this but not paying 35quid! Anyone have one or similar?

Just use any generic USB adapter off the rainforest and your current lightning cable or a rainforest basics one

Yup, you can pick up an Anker 24w (4.8A) charger off the rainforest for £8

i picked up a £2 double usb charger from a company near me, i cant name as they are a big competitor.

dont get the cheap ones of ebay, they get silly hot and don't actually charge your phone, mine eventually caught fire!

but my current has been great.
