iPhone 5 Lightning to old 30 Pin Connector with FireWire Power implementation

I've been searching the Web and specialized Shops for a Adapter or Cable-Hack Solution.

Here the Challenge:

I am using a Car Audio Connector (Becker Indianapolis 7953 + Remote Kit for iPhone).

It's connected to my iPhone 5 using a Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter.

Connection Works great, regarding to Music and iPhone Control.

Problem is the Connector is using a old implementation which is using the FireWire Pins for charging, which obviously doesn't work with iPhone 3G and later - so iPhone doesnt Charge.

I am wondering if there is a Solution like: Cut the Cable and put it together in the right Way? Or an Lightning Adapter to old 30-Pin?

I've found a old 30-Pin FireWire implementation to 30-Pin Adapter, but I don't want to use a Adapter-Adapter-Solution. :-(

Any ideas or experiences? Thanks alot!

iPhone 5

Hi

I have the Becker Cascade with the iphone adapter.

The only solution I could find then was with the adapter. I found some info on rebuilding the iphone adapter but in essence it does the same as the firewire to usb power adapter.(I use the Scosche adapter)

So don’t worry about the adapter adapter solution regarding the firewire problem. It works great for me.

I use the iPhone 4 dock in the creditcard compartment (Audi A4), The only problem i got was that the dock does not pass thru all 30 pins. it splits out the audio to the Stereo jack. That i solved whit replacing the 30 pin connector with an angled one.

This alone makes me think twice about changing to iPhone 5. Cant se any solution regarding the cradle. I love the hidden installation in the Creditcard compartment. Just a click and i can insert my phone.
