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
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.

You are welcome.
1/8” is the same as 3.5mm (at least when talking about auxiliary port connections).
I found this one on the Apple Store site and believe there is also an Apple brand one too.
Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. There is a 1/8" plug input, but isn't that a bit smaller than 3.5mm?
And in any case, I don't see either a 1/8" to Lightning or a 3.5mm to Lightning cable on the Apple site. Do you know a supplier?
Many thanks, Scott, you're pointing me in the right direction!
OMG, your searching skills are better than mine!
Thanks for taking the time to do the search.
I'll be quiet now.
