iphone 5 connector

MrsE_2

Just changing from an iphone 4s to 5c.
Bit confused re the connectors I need for my parrot connection & my alarm clock docking station.
There are two types.

Or

Rather buy the one from the UK seller, many cheap aftermarket lightning accessories don't work. It will be easier to return it if it doesn't.

You also don't need the jack plug to adapt 30 pin to lightning.

I wasn't querying where they came from, I just picked those two at random.
But both of those iPhone 5 connectors are slightly different because of the extra jack plug (& lots of sellers had that type).
So I don't need the jack plug one?
Do you know what it's susposed to do, that they have so many of them.

I'd suggest you try checking with the makers and Google the devices too, The lightning connector does not support analogue audio out or iPod mode, That may mean while the devices can charge they may not be able to receive song information from the phone but should play the music. The Apple 30 pin adapter has a digital to analogue converter in to remedy that, but that may not be the case for copy devices.

Another point is that Apple have tweaked the IOS Software to invalidate clone cable at least twice, if you get accessory not supported it could be a faulty adapter, it could be the audio out isn't working or just that you need a newer chipset in the adapter.


I still buy cheap cable, they die as easily as Apple ones, just something's to be aware of...

I payed 25 for my converter to use with my speaker dock when I got my iPhone 5. I tried a cheaper one but it didn't work

My brother in law had exactly the same experience... he ended up getting the genuine one from Apple.

genuine apple one is the only way to go in my experience, the ebay ones are ok to charge the device but useless for audio, in fact some will advise they only charge and dont do audio.
