I have several legacy audio components (Bose Sound Dock, various connectors to car audio) that use the 30-pin connector. There are readily available 30 pin to lightning cables that allow me to use my iPhone 12. I'm just about to get an iPhone 15, and I cannot find any cables (female 30 pin to usb c) that support audio. Any advice?

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
No. It states in the amazon description that it does not support audio or video. I have no idea why apple even created this adapter, other than to take my $40.
Yes - very frustrating. My 2010 Boxster has a 30 pin cable that connects to the car’s audio system. I used an Apple 30 pin to lightening adapter to connect the car’s 30 pin cable to my iPhone 12. It worked great and I was able to stream music and hear navigation directions through the car’s audio system. But I’ve lost that capability with the iPhone 15. I tried an Apple adapter to connect the lightning cable from the car to the iPhone 15’s usb-c slot, but no audio came through. It seems like a 30 pin to usb-c adapter might do the trick, but I don’t think Apple makes one and the ones on the market don’t seem to be working for people. I’m regretting switching to an iPhone 15.
Same here was thinking on upgrading to new iPad pro,but still using Alesis iodock with lightening to 30pin at the moment.
Apple it's time you released the adapter. It's a win win, more people will decide on upgrade and you sell the adapters.
Can you give links to these products please? Am looking for car functionality ….. an apple mfi certified female to male 30 pin to usb c that works with audio and is not just for charging of data …. usable with iPhone 15 ….. thanks
If you found pin30 to lightning adaptors then it will likely work with a pin30 to lightning and a lightning to USBc adapter adaptor
Have you found a solution?
No, I had the same experience as svtdriver (above).
Thanks. If I happen to find a solution, Ill come back and share.
Newest APPLE adapter USB Typ C - Lightning MUQX3ZM/A doesn't work with other original Apple adapters :-(
I have this problem too for a GM PAL audio adaptor in my car. Can't find a 30 pin female to usb c adaptor for my new iPhone. Hope someone posts up a solution!
And just in case. Not picture is the Apple short version (without the cable portion) of the top left adapter. It did not work either.
Major bummer- i'm in the same boat. Have been looking for a few days and finally came across this thread just to see that everyone else is just as stumped. Almost makes me want to get rid of my 15
Did anyone find a solution? I'm in the same Nissan boat sadly
Thanks for opening this one. Same problem here. Please post if you find a solution
Any insight? Still going mad in search of 30pin female to usb-c for my Bose. Would have reconsidered the upgrade sadly it's too late. Please post if good quality option found! Tks!
Where can I find female 30-pin to USB C cables to support audio on iPhone 15?
