Default I-Phone 5 cable / adapter

My SGS will be shipped in 2 weeks I went to the apple store and bought
a meter long cable and Iphone 5 adapter. I'm leary of verifying another question--- but you just pull one out and plug the one the phone fits in.

"Correct"

Not looking for anyone to tell me how to plug it in, just verifying the fit.
I want to just plug my I phone in and go, with music, art, phone book etc.

Mike

I think you have to use the Harley iPhone 5 adapter or it voids your warranty. Looks just like the one you got but has a bar and shield on it...

all that I have seen are usb connections so a standard Iphone 5 cord should be all you need

The shorter the cable the better, so you don't have to stuff all that cord in there..Its just a female usb end on like a 5 inch cable. I am trying to find one thats an inch long for myself.

Amazon has their own brand iphone cables that come in 4" length. They work great and are much less than going through Apple. Fits nicely in compartment.

This is the shortest one I know of that will work. Be careful with the 3rd party ones, most are not "compatible".

I bought a 10cm one from China on eBay, and when it arrived, I plugged it in and got the "this cable is not certified to work with this device" message. I emailed the seller, he sent me a new one, and this one works. So it's a crap shoot. I'm waiting for this one to **** the bed, too.

Apple cord is bad as 3rd party read the apple reviews on the cord.
