Where can I find female 30-pin to USB C cables to support audio on iPhone 15?

it seems impossible to find a cable that will pass audio through so best try a Bluetooth adapter such as the Bovee 1000. Can find on Amazon. This connects to a 30 pin connector. There are other similar products.

But my 30 pin connector did not pass power through to the Bovee so I also got a “Xtenzi Charging Converter 30 Pin Pass Through Adapter XT12V5 Compatible with iPod iPhone iPad Car Vehicle” but that didn’t pass power either.

so I then got a “AINOPE USB C Car Charger for iPhone 15, 67.5 W Car Charger” and a USB A to micro B cable …… plugged that into the cigarette lighter socket and connected the micro B end in to the Xtenzi adapter and it worked …… a blue light will flash on the Bovee 1000 to show that you can connect your phone by Bluetooth.

I could then play music and move through tracks using the car’s audio controls (probably there’s an “iPod” option on your car stereo)

everything I mention is on Amazon

Hello,

I don't think that would work, because 2 of the 30 pins in that connector were for analog audio output. https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/30-pin_Connector.

USB-C is a digital connector, and as you can see in the pinout here:

there are no pins which carry solely audio!!

I can only suggest this item (one of many) that I found on amazon:

30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter for Sound dock, Replace iPod/Phone/JBL/Car, Bluetooth Audio Receiver.

Amazon.com: Smof Premium 30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter for Sounddock,Replace iPod/Phone/JBL/Car, Bluetooth Audio Receiver 3.5 mm AUX Output-Female : Electronics

I help this information helps.

Cheers...

I found on Amazon a 30pin female to Bluetooth adapter around 20 bucks. Seems like the the trick.

I have a same problem with Nissan Juke audio that comes genuine original 30pin cable.

when I use 30pin to Lighting and iPhone worked good but when I connected 30pin to Lighting and Lighting to USBc then iPhone15, iPhone said Accessory not Supported.

All adaptors are Apple genuine.

There is no solution that works other than buying a new car or new stereo with updated inputs ... from what I can see there is also pin outs that are vastly different on the 30 pin that would not allow data/music to transfer like the previous lightning conversion.

It only works if you want to charge the phone. I will not pass audio through it so it won't work in cars. Found out the hard way.

So glad I found this thread as I thought I was going mad! I have exactly the same issue with an Apple 30 pin in a car i just bought. I’m now thinking about a 30 Pin Bluetooth receiver. There seems to be plenty on the market and it’s just a question of which one would be the right one. Also one with a usb charging port which would need a usb to usbc adapter. I’m no techno geek so these are my layman thoughts so please interject and call me out where I’m being stupid.

Well for cars there is a Bluetooth dongle that will emulate the iPod/iphone control interface so you can still control the device from the steering wheel controls and get meta data displayed on the dashboard. If you’re lucky enough to find one there is also a 30 pin airplay adaptor ( better sound then blue tooth but more limited controls

Try Airdual-100, its a third party "bluetooth" dongle but can use the "made for ipod" protocol and communicate with the cars media head. I have used it on my VW and its works fine with the steering wheel controls etc Audi Audio bluetooth adapter ami mmi 3g system Concert/Symphony, Audi Navigation Plus, VW 3G for RNS, VW Premium 8 systems iPod music interface – Airdual Bluetooth Adapter - Airdual (invery.com). Sadly the airplay dongle was only made for 6 months by another third party who i don't think had permission to use the Airplay protocol.

I did get that Bluetooth Adapter that you suggested and it worked, so music and navigation through my car stereo system once again…thank you!🙂

Same issue . I used to be able to do 30pin to lightning for my Vaistech adapter in my 2004 Lexus LS430. Now, I tried lightning to usb-c and it won’t transfer data. It will charge.

I read an article about how since Apple had the mfi program it ensured their cables met a certain standard of data transfer/charging/compatibility. However, there is no such standard for usb-c. So, not all cables are created equal.

I will likely just have to upgrade to Bluetooth.

I found this online for Toyota and Lexus and looks like an excellent solution

Bluetooth Audio Interface 6+6 for Toyota Auris, Avensis, Corolla, Hilux, Prius, RAV4, Yaris XP9, Land Cruiser J12/20 - - Lexus IS (IS-F to 2015), GS, RX, LS https://amzn.eu/d/aTKOdZq

A 30 pin to Apple 30 pin - Lightning to Apple Lightning - USB C adapter did not work for audio. It charged, but iPhone said Accessory not Supported. Still looking for a solution.

Will this work?
