Apple charge & audio

[Luke-pbuwy]

Hi all,

I have a 08' vantage. It has the Apple converter from the 30 pin to the lightning port. It doesn't charge, but plays music fine. You can buy splitters which will state they will charge and play audio. I can use the USB port or a 12v conveyer to charge. And hopefully the converter to continue to play music.

Anyone have this setup? Does it work?!

Two things:
1. Is the dock to lightning adapter original Apple? Most aftermarket (China stuff) do not connect all lines.
2. Does the AM electronic provide power to the phone? The old version does not, you might want to upgrade to the charging version available e.g. at Astonmartinbits for around 70 quid iirc and relatively easy to do.
Cheers

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the reply.

It's an Apple adapter, just doesn't seem to provide power.

I will check out the site for the upgrade, thanks a lot.
