I-phone headphone adaptor not working?

I bought an iPhone, headphone adaptor, it is not an official product but it was only £2 so i got it anyways.

It works for about 1 minute then it stops working and says:… "the accessory is not supported"…

is there a way round this or should i just buy the official product, i find it strange that it works for a short while then just stops

Buy the real thing, or an equivalent one from a big-name supplier.

The lightning port is a digital expansion bus and the interfaces to different signals are extremely complex; Apple have all the patents and they licence the rights to use it to other companies.

Any gadget that does not fully conform to their standards gets blocked after a while.

You don't get what you don't pay for.
