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.

Will the lightning to 30 pin adapter work with the irig midi interface?

will the lightning to 30 pin adapter work with the irig midi interface? Want to record guitar with garage band on ipad mini. need quick/easy way to connect USB to ipad mini

From both? Interesting. I like that though. I am looking for the controls to be on the iPhone rather than the stereo as it ***** finding songs this way. And yeah, $39.00 is a lot for this, and it is only roughly 8" long. Oh well, I will need it, so I will have to buy it. Thanks for the message back!

Will the lightning to 30-pin adapter work with my 2008 Volkswagen Jetta?

I have a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta that came with an iPod Adapter in the center console. Has anyone recently tried using the lightning to 30-pin adapter with one if they have one? Even if it isn't a VW Jetta? Maybe something older or 2009? I want this and I am getting the iPhone 5 soon, but I don't exactly want to spend the $39.00 to see if this would work. Anyone have any experience or at least know if it would work?
If it does, where are the controls used from; the iPhone or the stereo system in the car still?
Thank you in advance.
Kyle

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

Apple Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter and 1st generation connector

Will an Apple Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter allow an iPhone 5 to charge from a 1st generation connector? When I plug my old iPhone 3s directly into my 2006 Lexus LS430 connector, the iPod function will work but not charge. This is apparently because 1st gen connectors didn't have a USB charge capability. I'm hoping the adapter will correct that.

As I suggested above ,the first iPod had a firewire connection ,as did the next ( I have one)
I also had the first Bose sounddock which was designed for the first iPod and required the afore mentioned adapter to work with my iPhone 3G
As I said to charge the iPhone 3G you need the adapter to change the 30 pin wiring from having firewire to just USB as everything is today
Look at
as an example ,this is the type of adapter you require to change the car live connection to support the iPhone 3G
If you then also want to use an iPhone 5 you will IN ADDITION require the lightning to 30 pin adapter

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.

What exactly IS a Lightning to 30-pin adapter?

Hi everyone, first post here.
So, this week (hopefully), my Product Red, engraved, 5th Gen iPod touch is coming in. Although I didn't order a Lightning to 30-pin adapter, I may get one for Christmas. I have a Sony iPod Docking station (only works with earlier gens). Does the Lightning to 30-pin adapter have 30-pin on bottom and Lightning on top? So, like, it just plops right onto the Dock and then put my iPod 5th gen on top?
Thanks for any help.
Itoucherdude

This 30-pin to lightning dock adapter should be compatible with most of the docks.

IPhone 5 Lightning to 30-pin adapter

Just received my long awaited lightning to 30-pin adapter (three of them) for my iPhone 5 only to discover that to charge my phone in the car or listen to music in my office on my Altec Lansing, I have to take the case off. This rather defeats the purpose of a having a case, invites accidental damage to the phone, and, in general, is pain in butt to take the case off everytime. Clearly, Apple didn't think this one through. The adapter needs to be redesigned so that the pin part is longer. It's simply too short, and again, won't fit with cases. This doesn't affect just me; if affects millions of consumers who have purchased the iPhone 5. An alternative solution is to cut the case but I paid handsomely for a handmade, wooden case and I'm not keen on taking an exacto knife to cut the hole bigger.
Has anyone else discovered this little snafu????
Jean

@gdgmacguy: Yes, Apple makes phones. And Apple makes adapters for those phones. And Apple made an adapter that won't plug into those phones when they are in a case. The cases work fine with the iPhone 5. The issue involves the adapter. The pin on the adapter is not long enough to plug into the iPhone 5 with the case on. Apple hires geniuses but sometimes genius gets in the way of practical. Somebody at Apple should have put a case on an iPhone 5 and tried to plug in the adapter. Duh.
Bottom line: Apple screwed up. The adapter should have been released along with the phone to consumers at no extra cost. The adapter specs should have been released when iPhone specs were released so case makers could have made cases that accomodate the adapter. Apple should have made the pin longer to accomodate cases.
Wonder what Apple is going to do to address this issue.

My Lightning to 30 pin adapter (Apple A1468) replacement

My Apple lightning to 30 pin adapter (Apple A1468) stopped charging my iPad after 4 months. If I take it into an Apple store, will they replace it? It is a genuine Apple product which I purchased from Amazon. I no longer have the box it came in and I can't seem to find any information on if it has a warranty.

All that stuff is on mine as well. The reason I had a suspicion is because the item link on Amazon from where I ordered it no longer exists... but I do remember it being advertised as a genuine Apple product when I ordered it (and it was fulfilled by Amazon) especially since I did my research and made sure not to get a generic since I read some pretty awful reviews on the generic adapters.

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 -

Case for iphone 6 plus with lightning to 30 pin adapter?

I recently upgraded to a iPhone 6 plus from an iPhone 5. I have been using the square lightning to 30 pin adapter to adapt the 30 pin plugs on both my bedside clock radio/dock for overnight charging and in the glovebox connector in my 2013 VW Jetta. I had no issues connecting the plug with an Otterbox Defender on my iPhone 5. However, there are very few cases on the market right now for the iPhone 6 plus, and the Otterbox was not readily available when I purchased the phone 2 weeks ago, and I'm also not so sure I want to fork over the $60 since Apple isn't recommending the Otterboxes anyways. I'm not sure I buy into the Lifeproof concept, although I know some people love them. The Tech21 cases also have to be ordered, and don't have integrated screen protection like the Otterbox Defender. Admittedly, as careful as I try to be with my phone, I am a dropper and need a protective case. I ordered a cheaper Caseology case, but it does not allow the lightning to 30 pin adapter plug to attach, so I cannot charge my phone on my bedside dock or in my car with the adapter. I looked at the Spigen cases online as well as several others, but none of them seem, from visual inspection of the online photos, to have the large opening that the Otterbox for my iPhone 5 did that allowed the adapter to be connected.
Yes, I could buy extra lightning cables and reinvent my whole charging system, but I have found the cables to be not nearly as durable as the adapters (I've gone through many cables in the last two plus years, but still have the same two adapters.) I would rather find a case that accommodates the adapter. Any suggestions for cases that will allow the adapter to be attached with the case still on?

Have a look at cableJive they make the dockStubz which might do what you are looking for

Logitech speaker S715i won't recharge my "ipad mini" using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter. Has anyone solved this problem?

Everytime I connect my mini to the Logitech S715i or Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus speaker a pop-up appears telling me the iPad doesn't recognize the device and the battery symbol shows that it isn't loading. I am using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter.
Is there a way to correct this so my speaker will act as a dock and load the iPad?
Would love the help if you have the know how. Thanks!

Since the last update I have noticed the percentage of battery power does increase when my iPad mini has been docked although the actually staus reported on the iPad screen while docked is 'not charging'. This is obviously an Apple recognization problem (not sure about third party as Apple is providing the software).
Will not return my Logitech as it has excellent sound (speakers are higher watt then others in this price range), plus it has a built in battery which means I can take it on the terrace for tea in the afternoon.
As pointed out it requires more power then the iPhone, it does take longer to charge, so in the future if I need a quicker charge I'll do it via a wall outlet.
side note: This problem must also be why my iMac is shutting down all other USB devices when the iPad is plugged in.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter Availability

Not only is it disgusting that we now have to purchase the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter to get the phone to work with all of our other systems, Bose sound system, car connection etc But Apple dont release anywhere near enough of them to cope with the demand. Also they have put some sort of chip in it to restrict any other manufacturer from making an equivalent.
Come on Apple your products are good but not that good and potentially you will not be the richest company in the world for much longer.

I Agree 100%. I have been an apple user for many years. Everythig at work / home is apple sofware and hardware. I develop for iOS and have purchased every iPhone up-to-date. I have never had an issue with apple until now, and have always stood loyal to them even when people around me doubted... but now? Not so much. I am starting to lose faith in this company with the mistakes they are making. Remember the blackberry? This is how it all started. ******* people off one bit at a time. Why did we not recieve the Lightning adapter with our iPhone 5's? Because Apple was too eger to get the phone out the door for their 4th quarter. Why do we have to pay for it? Because Apple decided to put way to much thought into something so darn simple. Why is there no availablity? Because Apple simply does not care if I can use my iPhone in my car or with my home stereo system... They already made their 900 bucks off me. Why are they the richest company in the world? Because Steve Jobs was running their company... Do you think he would have allowed this to happen? I doubt it. He knew how to take care of his customers. I will continue to use Apple products until something better comes along, and so will everyone else, but when that "something better" comes along, Apple will no longer be the wealthiest company in the world and will be thinking "What happened?" just like RIM is.

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
