did you use an iphone charging cable to connect to the adapter?

Basically connected the adapter to the existing Tesla iphone dock provided by Tesla. It is basically plug and play to the existing docking station.

On a related note, does anyone know where to find the double right angle lighting cable that comes with the S and X phone dock kits? The kit has been out of stock for a while and I just need the cable.

Thanks. That’s what I’m using now but don’t like how the USB side sticks out straight instead of the right angle on the official S/X lightning cable.

Ok, I missunderstood your initial comment. I though you were talking about the lightning side of the cable, not the USB one
A quick google search gave me this tho

I've bought a half dozen different double right angle cables from amazon, eBay, etc., and none fit the Tesla dock adapter

There is some play in the phone, about as much as without the adapter, mostly back upon really quick acceleration and not any side to side . That said it comes back to the original spot on its own.
