30-pin to lightning adapters & cables

[Rich-D]

So I've just collected my shiny new iPhone 5S from the store, can't wait to play with it :approve:

However I've got docks, car chargers, etc, that are all 30-pin and none of them are any use now, LOL

These 30-pin to lightning adapters, anyone found one that works ok and is compatible with iOS7?

Also I know some aftermarket lightning cables are not charging with iOS7, others are ok, any links to ones that are known to work?

Thanks

I tried a couple of adaptors, and tbh they were about as much use as a doorstop. Didn't charge, didn't play music! Although randomly they did let you take photos off. Bought an apple one for the car and of course it's perfect.

For leads, I got some off ebay. They flag up the fault that they're not supported, but do seem to work - although not always first time. I can put up the link if you wish, but tbh I wouldn't actually recommend them!

Wait a while for someone to 'crack the chip'

I had two and with the release of ios7 they were both rendered useless

otherwise you're forking out £25

Found these for lightning cables >>> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-DATA-...Domain_3&var=540250543219&hash=item4d1368513d

Tested & working with iOS7 and 100% feedback, seems legit, I've ordered one

Worth a go, the place I got mine from claimed they worked with iOS 7 - like I say, thek "kind of" do, but not perfect by any means. There are some out there that do - a work colleague of mine bought some in China and they seem fine, kind of handy that he's back out there at the moment.

Just ordered 1 for now, if it doesn't work it's not the end of the world for £1.75, if it's ok I'll order a couple of more, will report back

2 lads I work with both have cheapo eBay cables, one refuses to charge at all, the other works perfectly, not even a warning message, seems random

Rather wait than fork out £25 for an adapter, massively overpriced IMO

I bought a £5 Bluetooth adapter for the car to stream music over since upgrading to the 5s

I bought these for my 5s and they work a treat, no message and charge the phone

I've got a 30GB iPod 5G that lives in the car for music anyway, but do you have a link?

Just buy the apple one..... Less hassle in the long run. I don't regret shelling out on a tiny cable looking back at the fact it's saved me ex amount on a new dock.

This arrived today, it works perfectly with no warning messages, so I'm ordering a couple more.

Will probably buy a pukka 30-pin to lightning adapter though
