Connects 2 iPhone3 to 5

[BREMBO]

I was wondering if anybody could help. I have a connects2 in the headunit for the Clio. I originally had a 3GS until recently - very cool I know. I now have a 5C and was wondering if the converter plugs would play music, if there is another way around this or if connects2 now does not work if there is an alternative I can use? Even a cheap aux cable of some sort

Thanks

I've got a 1.99p adaptor on mine and it works perfect.
Hold on...

Good man. I have one just need to try it.

Only thing is even when I plug it into my phone it says it can't be detected.... Will try first!

Bought a new adapter today plugging it into the connects2 it charges the phone but the music comes through the phone. Any ideas please?

You're probably going to need the official Apple 30 pin to lightning connector as it supports music transfer through it.

It's worth buying the adapter that has a short bit of lead too, makes the phone feel normal that's having a massive block on the bottom

Do you have a link please mate?

Is it this http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
Looks the exact same as that which I bought for 99p, strange that it charges but no sound but it seems to have worked Dan?

I have just the connects 2, which plugs into the 3.5 jack?

How does that work? From the connects2 the wire comes out which has the plug for the old iPhone 3/4 can you buy a new plug for the connects2 as this would be ideal?

It's a separate kit.

My one plugs into the rear of the CD player, deleting the cd changer, then a wire goes from the connects2 box, and an 3.5m comes from the box and into my phone. Works perfectly on my iphone 6. It is pricey, like £30 iirc.

Sounds teh same as mine but from the connects2 box the wire is for an iPhone, is it possible to just replace the cable for an AUX one?

Do you have a link to just the kit anyway? Thanks

So is that just a speaker? Or does that somehow link up to the standard radio, then play out of the car speakers?

 

[DannyR]

This is the better adapter

@DannyR how does that connect to the standard radio?

Many thanks

This is for the Connects2

Reviews for this expensive Apple product is terrible!

Anybody know if this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-C...405?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a879819cd

Would fit my 2001 tape deck HU. I know it says 2005 on the listing but I thought the back of the HU's are all the same?

It doesn't.

Really? I've got one in the scirocco for the MDI and works perfectly.

I did get mine on eBay, genuine £18.

iphone 3 charger like below supports Audio

New iPhone charger like below DOES NOT support Audio

For new charger the converter is needed with the 3.5mm Jack

 

[DannyR]

Is that in general or just for connects 2? As the 0.2m converter works but the Lightning lead doesn't in the scirocco?

Its general mate, I phoned Car Audio Direct and i can only have a 3.5mm Jack from my head unit. I can't have a charger for my 6 as the new 5 / 6 chargers do not support audio in any way unlike the older iPhone 1 /2 /3 /4 that do support audio

I've got an old (30 pin) iPod lead going from the glove box to the back of the head unit.

That plugs into the 30 pin iPod dock and then you stream audio to it from any Bluetooth device. The audio then comes through the speakers.

I made a thread on it if you're interested. Search 'Cheap Bluetooth mod'

Absolute pish.

If you have something enabled for the old 30 pin connector using the 30 pin to lightning converter allows audio.

The MDI in the VW's have either a 30 pin adapter or USB input. Plugging in the Lightning charger to the USB doesn't work at all, plugging in a 30-lightning converter to the 30 pin interface lead works fine with audio and control.

Thanks Marc, how much for the bottom one then? so this would work the connects2 and my iPhone5? This looks a bit more sturdy than the bigger one
