Lightning to 30-pin Adapter IPod Out Not Supported?

I like many people on a speaker dock and to put it bluntly it wasn't cheap. I can't see myself getting any money for it and it's probably not even a year old (though manufactured in 2010). Anyway I was hoping while not cheap itself the adapter would allow the iPhone 5 I plan to buy to function with this dock but the terms iPod out seems to refe to audio so am I correct in assuming they won't be compatible?

The ipod out feature is where the phone renders a video of the music library to be shown on an external display like the navigation screen of your car.
Since there is no video output on the adapter this feature fails. It's all about VIDEO not being supported.
A simple dock that needs audio will work fine. The adapter will work for any application that doesn't involve video output from the iphone.
Ipod out compatible car kits and home theatre integration is extremely rare. Very few devices implement it. Those that do may still function for audio output and charging the phone but you will not see anything on the screen anymore.

What adapter do I need for my ipod Nano 7th Generation to connect to a Sony home docking station (30 pin). I purchased the one recommended (Lightning to 30 pin adapter), but it says 'this accessory is not supported by this device)?

Could someone please tell me the correct lead I need for an Applie Ipod 7th Generation 16GB for a Sony docking station. I bought a Lightning to 30 pin adaptor that fits the dock but not the ipod (this was recommended to me by someone from the Apple shop believe it or not). I need one that will fit the ipod and then slot into the 30 pin dock. The dock pulls out and my old ipod (5th Generation) just slotted straight in, but this slot obviously doesn't fit. It would really help if someone can recommend what I need to use or even if there is one that just slots in or whether I need some sort of cable and can't use the docking station. I've had a lock at the Apple store but just keep getting confused about what does what and can't seem to see anything unless I need an additional cable to slot into the 30 pin adapter I already have?
HELP - CONFUSED.COM!

If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.

You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

Lightning to 30-pin adapter doesn't work w/ iPod Touch 5G

Hi. The lightning to 30-pin adapter I purchased (from Apple) with my iPhone 5 does not work with my daughter's new iPod Touch 5G. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks.

Does she have a case? Please give me more details

Why doesn't my lightning to 30 pin adapter support any of my audio my from ipod touch 5th generation

Why doesn't my lightning to 30 pin adapter support any of my audio my from ipod touch 5th generation.on my dock

Have you contacted the dock manufacturer?
The adopter supports audio if the dock manufacturer says the dock supports the 5G iPod.
It may be that the dock does not work with iOS 6.x vie the 5G. Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.

Why is lightning to 30 pin adapter still not available in november

iPhone 5 (and lightning) launch was in september and the apple site said that adapters would be shipping in october. This is now november and the site still says shipping in 5-7 days. How was this overlooked during the iphone 5 production? No one at apple thought until september that people might need/want a lightning to 30 pin adapter for all the 30 pin accessories collected for various ios devices over the past 10 years?
I've never been a fan of iOS but have always liked apple hardware and the fact that music syncing to ipods and iphones is so simplified (on android, you have to jump through a few hoops and there's still no good car integration for android, probably to fragmentation of android device manufacturers) and the fact that it's not difficult to find an iphone car solution (beyond aux port or fm xmitter). But this sudden change in charging/data port should have been planned much better esp coming from a company of apple's caliber.
I guess I'm just wondering if there is a good answer for such a lack of availability of such a ubiquitous accessory. $200-400 for a phone from a company with $100 billion in cash and I don't even have the option to get my hands on an adapter in stores over a month later. Any explanations from apple or other apple device users would be much appreciated to quell my frustration.

Hi - sorry but this is a user to user forum - there is no way of knowing why Apple is doing what they do - and they don't monitor this forum either - so the only way to answer your questions is to contact Apple Support directly at - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ - or you can register your opinions at -

Can you connect the Lightning to 30-pin adapter and Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) to iPod nano (7th generation) with third-party accessories?

Can you connect the Lightning to 30-pin adapter and Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) to iPod nano (7th generation) with third-party accessories?

Lightning to 30-pin adapter and Lightning to 30-pin adapter (0.2m) do not work if connected together by other third-party accessories.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) (A1450) is not recognized by my Iphone 5s!!

I Just bougt the Lightning to 30-pin adapter (0.2m) (A1450). I'm now connecting the cable (device) to my Iphone 5s (Ios 7.0.4) without any other device connected to it and I receive the message "This accessory is not supported by this device."
When I connect the adapter to my car stereo with my 30pin connector my iphone won't give me the option to play audio to the dock connecter. Lukyly it is charging.
Why is my iphone not regocnizing my (genuine) lightning to 30 pin adapter? If it would, I think it will also playback music via the connector like my old Iphone 4s.
Thanks for reply

I am getting the same error. After a 30 minute drive each way to the Apple store, and not discovering the error until I got home, I am pretty upset. This is the reason we all buy genuine Apple accessories, so we don't have these kinds of warning messages and errors.
Time to go back to the store and have a Genius actually plug the next adapter into the phone to be sure it works before I leave the store. Grrrr.

Lightning to 30-pin adapter not working w/iHome/iPhone 6.

Lightning to 30-pin adapter is not working correctly with iHome/iPhone 6. When I plug phone in the music and time update will work but it won't charge the phone, unless I turn my phone around but then music won't work. I've only had my iHome for a year and used it with no problem with my 4S. Now that I have the iPhone 6 I decided to get the adapter so I wouldn't have to spend money on a new iHome. I thought I just had a bad adapter, at least that's what they told me in the Apple Store. So I exhanged it at Best Buy, where I bought it, and got another one. Very disappointed that I have the same problem. Anyone else have this problem? Did I just wain't $30.

No-one from Apple here
It is either a corrupt update to iOS
or something in Honda that no longer likes iOS 8.3
To eliminate an issue with iOS 8.3 basic troubleshooting
Restart
Reset
Restore ,as new ,check iPhone functions if working correctly then restore your back up to get back to normal
If still an issue you then need to eliminate the potential Honda side,2007 is very old technology compared to 8.3

I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?

If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter not work properly with iPhone 5s

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) with iPhone 5s working good with power adapter and 30-pin cable, but how iPhone at 100% power, I see message "This accessories is not working correctly".
But with iPad mini 1 everything is OK.

Bottom line, the iPhone case restricted insertion of the 8 pin adapter into the IPhone. Slide in cases with open bottoms have no problems but wrap around cases can restrict flush insertion due to insufficient access to the recepticle in the iPhone.

Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock" !!!!

Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock" !!!!

Ho comprato un adattatore originale Apple "lighitning to 30 pin adapter" per poter usare i mei vecchi cavi dell'iPhone4 con il nuovo iPhone5.
Se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) direttamente all'iPhone5 , tutto funziona.
Ma se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) all'iPhone5 tramite la "base dock" , l'adattatore non viene riconosciuto e non funziona.
Pensando che l'adattatore fosse rotto, ho riprovato con altri identici adattatori originali, ma il risultatato è lo stesso.
Quindi penso che potrebbe essere un errore di progettazione della base dock che supporta unicamente la connessione diretta tramite un cavo lighning e non supporta la connessione se in mezzo c'è l'adattatore !!

Looking for an extender for lightning to 30-pin adapter

The .2m, or the longer lightning to 30-pin adapter for the Iphone 5/5s/5c, is too small.
I drive a 2008 VW Jetta with a 30-pin iPod adapter dock in the center that was stock with the car. I have the adapter, but, it is just not long enough at all. I don't mind it, but I would prefer, of course, to have something longer, and safer.
I have already tried Cablejive cables, and they are not compatible with VW systems.
I don't care if the solution is bulky at this point, I just want something safer when I drive, so it is easier to pick my music.
I was reading somewhere someone using a firewire cable or something? And just to let you know, I do not have an MDI connector.
Thank you all.

If you're using a case on your iPhone 5, the problem may have something to do with the way your case was designed. Many of the most popular cases aren't compatible with the adapter becasue they prevent it from being flush with the bottom of your iPhone.
The workaround solutions are to cut out part of the bottom of your case so the dock connector will fit, or to exchange the adapter for the adapter cable, which is $10 more but plugs in to the bottom of your iPhone like the USB cable that came with it.
Personally, I just cut two small rubber parts of my case out (an Incipio DualPro that otherwise offers great protection, which I got at the local Verizon store). That solved the problem for me.

Does the lightning to 30 pin adapter support audio?

I have an iPod touch 5th generation and can't listen to it in the car because the wire from the cars FM transmitter has a 30 pin connection. I was just wondering if the lightning to 30 pin adapter would support the audio.

Hey treshz98,
Thanks for the information, I believe the following article addresses your question:
Lightning to 30-pin Adapter: Using video adapters or other 30-pin accessories
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5498
When you connect an iPod or iPhone with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, the iPod or iPhone will be treated like an iPod that does not support iPod Out. You should still be able to navigate through and play your music using the vehicle's built-in user interface.

APPLE LIGHTNING TO 30-PIN ADAPTER MD824ZM/A

I have just bought a new iPod Touch 5th Gen.
Will the "APPLE LIGHTNING TO 30-PIN ADAPTER MD824ZM/A" let me connect the iPod to my surround sound, which has a 30 pin dock, and allow the music to play through the system?
Have been doing some searching and have seen varying answers. The APPLE LIGHTNING TO 30-PIN ADAPTER MD824ZM/A cable is not cheap so I don't want to be paying out for something that will not do the job.
Thanks

Thanks - hadn't considered the surround controls controlling the iPod so handy to know

Lightning to 30 pin adapter

I currently have a 5th generation 30GB ipod that I use in my car with a cables to go 3.5mm to dock connector audio cable.
I want to upgrade to a 32GB ipod touch and I was wondering if I use the Apple lightning to 30 pin adapter and connect it to my cables to go cable in my car will the touch give me a line out signal the way my current ipod and cable does so that I can listen through my cars audio system?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Frank

I ended up cancelling my order for an iPod touch 4 and instead ordered an iPod touch 5 32GB.
I received my iPod touch 5 yesterday and tried using the Lightning to 30 pin adapter in my car with the Cables to Go 30 pin connector to 3.5mm cable connected to the AUX port in my car and heard nothing through my cars stereo system.
Fortunately when I ordered the iPod I also ordered another 30 pin connector to 3.5mm cable by Comprehensive and when I hooked up that cable in my car it seemed to work perfectly. Not sure what the difference in the cables could be, but I think I will pick up an extra one.
