iPhone Cable Connection

I've received an older radio that has an iPod Dock Connector. Am I correct that I can connect my iPhone X to the dock connector by using the

  • Apple 30-pin to USB cable plus
  • Apple Lightning to USB cable?


Or is connection to the radio from my phone impossible?


Thanks in advance.

Hello Howard Cornelsen,


I could be wrong but I do not believe the 30-pin to USB cable would help since it has the male connection and, I assume, your radio dock also has the male connection.


Many of the 30-pin iPod dock radios also had a 3.5mm auxiliary input. If yours does a 3.5mm to Lightning cable is likely the easiest and cheapest option.


I hope this helps.
