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

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?

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.
