Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Possible numpty question but here goes…

I need a cradle and charger for an iPhone 5S to slot into my car but I don’t want a suction one for the window. Are there any lightening connector cradles for my phone which plug straight into a cigarette charger? The car has an aux in port so I don’t need to get my music to the car via a radio signal or anything like that.

To get my old iPhone 4 music playing into my car, I bought a Belkin device that plugs into the cigarette charger to keep the phone topped up and I used an aux in from the phone to the car. This device was OK, it was one of those radio ones but I never used the FM frequency as it was poor and I didn’t need to as the car has an aux in. The problem I had with it was that the cradle coming from the charger was a huge bendy affair which looked unpleasant. Anyway, now that I now have an iPhone 5S so the old Belkin won’t work. Should I stump up for another one with lightening connection (they are pricey considering I won’t be using the radio connection functionality) or is there a better alternative?

+1 for Brodit. The mounts are solid, and normally fit perfectly.
