I heard that was possible. But not sure what sort of connector it is - whether it truly is a USB connector. Then replace it with a $35 lightning USB cable. But like I said - have not tried this yet. Or pay $35 for a 30 pin adapter to lighting connector and just pop it onto the existing 30 pin? Just make sure your iPhone 5 case can handle the adapter. You need a single slot in the case that stretches from one bottom speaker to the other rather than have 3 separate slots (speaker - lightning - speaker). I have not tried this yet either. Lets us know if you try either of these options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this bloke it works... http://whrl.pl/RdnpE0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ford have the new cable for the new models?No one has bought an ex cop car or taxi with holes in the dash???

Also tried it on iPhone docks etc...Just a heads up, pay for the genuine apple one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an adapter purchased from a phone store that will charge my phone but not allow it to play through my stero on AUX like my iPhone 4 did via the cord in the console. Am I missing something??
