Bought this to charge my Note 2 in the car. Only needed a short cable as the phone mount is just above the lighter adapter. It did work and did charge the phone.

PROBLEM: Shortly after installing this cable I noticed that my FM radio stations had a great amount of static/fade. As I don't listen to the radio that much it took a while to notice it and I did not connect the interference with this cable. The radio was so bad that I even made an appointment with the shop that installed it for possible repair/replacement. When I arrived at the shop I began disconnecting all the stuff around the radio, and all of a sudden the FM stations became clear as a bell! When I plugged in this cable, they all had great static and fade. Obviously I made a wasted trip.

I replaced this cable with another one that was much thicker and somewhat longer. Absolutely no interference with the radio. This cable is extremely thin and I can only think that the conducting wire is not shielded well. If you are going to use this in a car, beware.
