Review: Simple and Works no Juice Jacking here ;) bdv - Pros: I like the price and fact that the red makes these stand out. With my Garmin there has always been a problem when connecting to a car that the car rather than just giving power to the device would try to connect. This eliminates that problem. Now with rental cars I've switched to Google Navigation and I like that this isolates power only to your usb device, and that way my phone is safe from a USB Virus attack from a rental car. The peace of mind of being able to plug into any USB JACK and just get power only is priceless. CONS: These are easy to loose either to theft or just putting in a drawer and forgetting which one. Yes I'd buy these again, and just did as didn't want to spend time looking, Also I'd recommend them to friends. bdv
Review: excellent adapter to thwart data transmission over unknown USB ports - I wish I knew about these devices sooner. I always set my cell phone to power only or would use a wireless charger where I would go but having this is another nice alternative to give you a USB charging connection without worrying on data being transmitted to your phone or have the phone transmit data to a receiving device. The data blocker works fantastic with samsung quick charging and is great to help assure you are not transmitting data by having the missing data pins on the port so you know it's impossible for it to transmit. The only recommendation I would give to the manufacturer for this would be to possibly have a tiny loop on the side where you can put a keyring on it to help keep it safe so you don't lose it easily but I wouldn't have a problem with it since it's bright red to grab your attention. Just something for thought that's all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone confirm 100% that this will allow an iphone to charge off a usb port without having the iphone driver installed.**
A: Its a data block... 
100% NO USB DATA CONNECTION!
So absolutely no need for a any data modifications on the USB host...

**Q: I’m having an issue with no sound coming from my phone when I charge it in the car from the USB port. I read somewhere that this might help. Yes?**
A: If the problem is that you're plugging your phone into your car to charge, and your phone is detecting your car as an "audio out", then it is at least *possible* that this may solve your problem. But even some devices can detect that "something is plugged in" even if the data port is blocked. A better solution is to figure out how to change the audio device on your phone. If it's android, you can select "charge only" when plugging into USB. 

Ultimately, even if this device doesn't solve your problem, it's still helpful to have as a security device.

**Q: does this actually block data from being sucked from your iphone and/or from data/virus being inserted into iphone? does it also chagre?**
A: That's what it's supposed to do, yes. I bought it to be able to charge an old iphone from a VW Jetta USB port that was not compatible with the phone and it works fine for that. As far as I can see, it basically passes through the 5v connections and has no data connections so there would be no way a virus could be passed through it or data could be "sucked" out. Of course it also means you can't download photos or sync your phone or anything like that - all it does is let you charge.
So, basically, it turns a computer USB port into a non-smart charger. That also means it charges slowly at 0.5A whatever the port or charger  rating, because higher charge rates are negotiated between charger and phone, which requires data.

**Q: Does this work with iPhone 8 and 11?**
A: Yes. This has worked with all of my phones for the past 4 years including my current iPhone 11

This works for allowing USB dumb power to be delivered without allowing data to go over the cord. I won't leave home without it.
