Any way to use the old 30-pin adapter with an iPhone 15 OK, I know that the 30-pin adapter is dinosaur technology, but my car head unit has one, which until I upgraded to an iPhone 15, was used to play Pandora off my old iPhone through the head unit via either a lightning to 30-pin cable, or the lightning to 30-pin dongle, both of which worked flawlessly. OK, so after upgrading I though (maybe) all I need is the Apple lightning to USB-C cable. Wrong. If I have the lightning to USB-C cable plugged in the iPhone, then when I plug in the lightning side of of my 30-pin to lightning cable or dongle, with nothing connected to the 30-pin, the iPhone complains: Accessory not supported. Obviously it complains the same when connected to the head unit. All the cables are genuine Apple, and not the cheap Chinese knockoffs. Is there any way to connect an iPhone with USB-C to an old 30-pin. I know I'm not the only person with this request, because there's a gazillion old music stations that rely on the dinosaur. Cheers.

iPod integration does not work on iOS 18.3.2 with MFI USB-C to Lightning Adapter MUQX3AM/A iPod Controls lost via Lightning (female) to USB-C adapters So I have a Sony SACD Car Stereo (MEX-DV2000) that has the Unilink hub system with the Sony XA-120IP iPod Interface Adapter. This unit uses a 30-pin adapter, which you must convert to Lightning with a MFI Certified adapter from Apple themselves for a more modern iPhone to be able to have its iPod seek, and next-track & pause functions to work with the Sony head unit’s buttons. Obviously audio is sent with non-adjustable volume to the Sony head unit’s 24-bit DAC for playback; therefore you get uncompressed audio signal vs lossy Bluetooth adapter options out there people keep recommending. There is a catch to this for charging in that you must use an inline 30-pin Scosche passPORT IFWA USB charging adapter to get the Sony to charge the iPhone. ALL THIS CAME TO A HALT WITH iPHONES 15 & 16 with USB-C. The Apple certified MFI USB-C (MUQX3AM/A) to Lightning Adapter allows you to connect your newest iPhone (16 Pro MAX in this case), however I also get the dreaded “Accessory Not Supported” error too. I’ve already done the green toggle switch for “ACCESSORIES” under the FaceID and Passcode Settings. No luck. Here’s a video of my iPhone SE2 working fine with the MFI 30-pin to Lightning adapter. But the added Apple MFI USB-C (MUQX3AM/A) to Lightning Adapter does not work. https://youtu.be/jqKPOGJd3f0?si=pGOqdyd6K1M-kpFU When will this get fixed with an iOS update, as iOS 18.3.2 DID NOT FIX IT?

Apple discontinued the 30 pin adapter 10 years ago.

I know - and my hope is that somebody have one of these that I can buy?
