iPhone 7 cable

Hi - I have an old 30 pin iPod cable in my Vantage - does anyone know if you can connect up an iPhone 7 in a similar way with a newer cable?

Thanks!

Do you need it just for charge or for music too ?

Get the original Apple dock adapter from 30pin to lightning connector and it will work. I tried two different cheep fleabay adapter, they only charged the phone but did not route the comunication lines - no music. That's why I recommend the Apple adapter.

It depends on the age of the car. The earlier version cables won't charge, even with the Apple lightning adaptor. You will need to change the UIP box and also the cable - https://astonmartinbits.com/models/5-V8-Vantage/pa... It is a pretty straightforward DIY job, you'll just need a small philips screwdriver and a torch!

@trackaphone: Sorry forgot to mention that charging depends on the build year. Mine is a 2009 and it charges the phone.

Yep - done the same. Apple adapter:

£29. Which makes AM ownership look like a bargain. At least the Vantage does something! #AppleTax

Thanks for the replies. It's a 2007 model so assuming it won't charge but have ordered the adapter....

Genuine Apple adapter purchased - works perfectly. Thank you for the advice.
