I have now been through 2 different cables and have had the same issues with both, so I wanted to warn users of the iPhone 5S. I plug these cables into the USB port in my car, and the phone starts behaving as if I'm plugging in and unplugging the cable over and over and never continuously charges. When I plug it into my computer instead, it charges just fine until I receive any sort of notification and it does that same behavior about 6 times and then goes back to normal charging. I have no issue with the NON-lighted versions of the Rocketfish cables in either place, only the lighted versions.
I will also note that I have seen other posts elsewhere of folks having issues with other power-related accessories (like a Mophie Juicepack) having issues similar to this after upgrading to iOS7. So I can't say for sure if it's an iOS7 thing or a iPhone 5S thing. Either way, the second cable is going back and I'm getting a refund this time.

Hello again brentd-
I just wanted to ensure that everything is up to date. It is my understanding that after communicating with Cory and the Engineering team, is that the issue is with the iOS 7, not the cable itself. I apologize for any inconvenience.
