FOUND: 30-pin to Lightning adapter

[DavidS]

For some odd reason, Land Rover uses a proprietary cable for their audio iPod/iPhone connection that only comes with a 30-pin connection. I used to have an adapter but can no longer find it. Apple no longer makes it, and the few off brand ones I've ordered from Amazon do not work. This has a female 30 pin end and a male Lightning end. The solid block type does not work if the iPhone is in a case, so I need one that is more like a dongle with a cord.

If you have one that you are not using, I'm happy to pay you a reasonable amount + shipping. Thanks!

Try places like Best Buy, or Microcenter if you're near one. I think the BB near me still had a few as of a couple of months ago. Another place I've seen them not too long ago was a music store like Sam Ash or Guitar Center. The Guitar Center near me still has copies of Parallels 8, I think. Stuff that doesn't sell just sits on shelves for years.

I have two official Apple adapters, but sorry, I have no intention of selling either one. I still have a use for it, and I'm keeping one as a backup just in case. And yeah, I hear you about the off brand ones. I had one that never worked properly and finally died completely.

I've checked the Apple Store near me, Best Buy, Microcenter, and Fry's. Fry's had one on clearance but after adding it to my cart for in-store pick-up, I got an email saying they did not have any left in stock. I'm going to go by there tomorrow and search the shelves, though. I'm most annoyed b/c I have one somewhere in our house. I would not have thrown it away (even though we have not used it in over a year), but I cannot find it either.

I already looked at that one. However, “NOTE: FOR CHARGING ONLY, DOES NOT SUPPORT AUDIO OUTPUT” which makes it useless for my needs.

Make your own dongle with a block-style adapter and a short lightning extension cable?

That's the best option I've seen so far. Need to find a block-style adapter now. LOL

My bad. If you don't get something else, you could try a 30pin to bluetooth adapter?

I've been looking for the same thing, realizing Apple no longer makes it the only genuine Apple cable seems to be reliably available here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-Lightni...A/21853451.

This is the one I purchased. Genuine Apple product in sealed, original box. It works perfectly. Evidently the same seller (6AVE) but less expensive going through eBay than Walmart.
