Lightning Connector Operation?

I am having trouble with a connection between my iPhone 5 and a car stereo. The stereo works well with an old (30-pin connector) iPod.
I have a theory that the stereo is disconnecting while the electronics in the Lightning connector re-scans to see what is attached to the iPhone. Is this a possibility? Any iPhone geeks know how the Lightning connector works?
Thanks.

I recently tried resetting all my settings. This did not work either.
The cable may appear to be charging, but no juice is flowing. If I reverse the cable, however, it starts charging.
I can't be the only one with this issue, as it appears to be firmware related. There's a chance it's hardware related, but my iPhone was working fine for weeks, with all cables. Now, all my "reversible" lightning cables only work one way.

My D800 SD card is not recognized by my new IPad. I have the lightning connector and tried but RAW and small Jpeg files...nothing!! Why not?

Cant use my IPad lightning connector for SD card with D800 even though I have tried RAW and increasingly smaller files with JPEG. Nothing works...HOw can that be that the files are recognized on a Mac but worthless for using an IPad??

Will Apple make a 30-pin to lightning connector that will work with a case?

Why did Apple make the 30-pin to lightning connector useless when you have a case on your iPhone 5/5s? The lightning connector part isn't long enough to fit inside when using Apple's own cases (i.e. the new leather cases for the 5s). Does anyone know if there are plans to correct this mistake and lengthen the connector?

From the reviews on Apple's site, the cabled adaptor does NOT work with Apple's own case - the lightning plug is too fat :-(

The Apple on-line store has two 30-pin to lightning adapters, but they are the wrong direction from what you want. Try a Google search, or drop in an Apple retail store and see if they have what you need.

Lightning connector problem

I picked up my iPhone 5 yesterday and after getting it home and starting the long task of tranfering my thousands of songs onto the device, I noticed that there seems to a problem witht the Lightning connector. Most times when inserting the connector into the phone, there is no connection ie. no pluged in tone and unable to sync. I have found that by placing a slight downward pressure to the plug I can get it to start syncing, then after releasing the pressure it disconnects itself. I repeat, that this happens most, but not all of the time. Is anyone else noticing this or maybe I just need to try a new cable (which are not available in the HK apple store)
Cheers

I have gone through about 3 lightning connector cables over the last year. They initially work, but later they go bad.
They start having the same symptoms described above where the cable will sometimes charge if you reverse it or press down on the cable. Over time, they just stop working. When connected via USB to my computer, I started getting an error message indicating that the device was not working properly and the computer stopped recognizing the device as an iPhone.
Replacing the cable fixed the problem, but I'm wondering if there is a way to get the non-functional cables to work again or maintain them so they last longer.
One thing I noticed is that over time the center gold connection wire turns black in color, as if it was burnt as the phone was charging. I tried using an eraser to get the black stuff off to no avail. I will try a Q-tip with alcohol next. Wish there was a documented quick fix or maintenance plan for keeping the cables functional.

New iPod Classic with lightning connector in 2013?

So I am slowly stepping my apple products game up. Now all my stuff has the new lightning connector. What about my ipod classic? I use that mofo erryday. I wanna get rid of it but only if they come out with a new one with the lightning connector. Apple needs to step they game up. I for one am a heavy ipod classic user and Apple needs to get off they high horse and make a new one, so i can use the same charger for errythang. And, I know one of you geniuses that read this post is going to say just buy the adapter. Ummm NO, i dont want to!
So to the people at Apple, get your shyt together and come out with a new iPod Classic and make that bytch 500 GB. LOL

Speculating about future Apple products is not one of the topics "encouraged" on Apple's user forum.

I want to connect an iPhone 4s to a lightning connector

I have an iPhone 4s and I would like to connect to a docker which has the lightning connector. Does anybody know if there is an adapter that allows to do this?

Not from Apple
However a company called sandberg has recently released one
SANDBERG 440-45 Adaptor 30 Pin to Lightning Connector
I have one (from Amazon in UK ) and it charges ,syncs and also transmits music successfully from a lightning cable to an iPod Nano 5Gen

Lightning connector for audio out

I have a DJ app on my IPAD Air which uses a split cue audio out lead from the headphone jack in order to cue music separately from the main mix. This works fine but I would prefer to use Airplay wireless to the speakers. If I then connect the headphone jack it disables airplay.
My question is, can the Lightning connector be used to transfer audio in which case I can use it for the headphone connection via suitable leads.
I don't mind using an 8 pin to 30 pin adapter if that's the way to go but not all these work for audio.
Any suggestions on lead combinations would be appreciated. Thanks

Lightning Connector won't dock with 32 g Touch

5th Gen Ipod Touch, never dropped. Lightning connector won't dock with Ipod. I tried three different cables.

What do you mean by "won't dock"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have difficulty charging my iphone 5. The nearest service center said that there are missing pins in my lightning connector.

My phone is still under warranty but the service center said that it is voided due to the missing pins inside the lightning connector. What do i do with this? My phone can charge but you need to press on the cord a little for it to click. My cord is not the issue because I just bought it and it is brand new.

Well, your service is handled by an Authorized Apple Service Center. If they refuse to handle the claim, that is well within their rights. Apple as well could void a claim under the same circumstances. I'm not saying that you did or did not modify the device, but you could try and talk to a supervisor there and make another request. You can also try and contact Apple by obtaining a number with this support document and describe your problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Are any radio/alarm clock docking stations with a lightning connector coming out soon?

I've had the iPhone 5 for a while now, and I've been waiting for a product like the iHome to come out with the lightning connector. However, I haven't heard or seen any news about this. Is anybody aware of any products coming out?

iHome already makes docks that support the Lightning connector:
