30pin to lightning (old to new) adapter

I am considering

http://store.apple.com/us_smb_78313/product/HA847VC/A/bose-sounddock-series-iii- digital-music-system?fnode=4b

The thing is I own an iPod Touch 3 and it has the older 30pin. I don't wanna spend money on older tech and get an adapter to support my newer tech... If you get what I'm saying. I'd rather have an adapter supporting my older tech... retroactive so to speak. I wanna use my iPod on this as well as my iPhone 5. I have no desire to spend money on a new iPod, mine is perfectly fine and it's my 'expendable' player where as my phone is not. I also use my iPod in with my car's stereo. I take it jogging, gym, hiking, etc. It's my valuable POS so to speak, I treasure it.

How do I go about this, what do you guys recommend?

I know of no such adopter. It might not be possible/practical since the Lightning cable contains active components, it is not just wire.

Hey,

You want to buy the BOSE-Hifi, did I get this right?

Well, there's a problem with, the Lighting to 30 Pin connector adapter doesn't exist! So I would recommend you this product: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9851VC/A/bose-soundlink-bluetooth-mobile-spea ker-iinylon-edition?fnode=4b

It is with Bluetooth and you can use it with your iPhone 5 and your iPod Touch 3rd Generation!

Hope I solved your question 😉

I didn't even know that existed. Nice! That indeed solved my question thanks, the only downside it looks like is it won't charge my device while being used.
