Thought some of you may find this useful, The A/V adapter you need to use your Iphone 5 is a pain because of its short pig tail connector.

Meaning you have an HDMI cabel a Lightning cabel and then the stupid A/V adapter hangin out of your dash some place just to plug your phone in.

I found this a few weeks back and got it last week, Havent installed it yet.

As far as I know its the only Lightning cable EXT.

This means you can leave the HDMI cabel and everything in the dash and have just one small cabel coming out.

I found it here on ebay.

ill be adding the cable tonight and ill repost if there are any issues.

Yeah certainly let us know. Don't hold your breath though. Its a no brand made in China and those tend to not work. Being that its just a pass through it may not be affected however.

Yeah. This would be nice. You could put all the crap behind the dash and only have this. Was actually thinking of something like this the other day.

What I would like to see if if you could make it a plug mount in the dash instead of just a cable dangling there. I installed both a USB port and a hdmi port in my dash. I could remove the hdmi port and replace it with this.

Wish I could just get a female lightning coupling to mount into dash.  Searched everywhere

So did it work or what?

Im guessing not.

Im guessing not.

I am guessing not also..   Patiently waiting the results though.. 

i will turn the short pigtail from the av adapter into a socket in the dash with some fiberglass .. Then just plug this extension in.

Sorry for the dealy guys! IT WORKED! I didnt set up email notification here so I had no idea anyone replied to the thread and I've been super busy.

The plug side IS SUPER BIG, if you have a life proof case or sim you'll need shave the plug down as it wont fit, it does work flawlessly though.

ALSO, I did say I would re-post if there WERE any issues, so I figured if I didnt get back to this thread you would all know it WORKED becaused I didn't re-post any bad news. sorry for the confusion.

cheers!

Good to know. I will be trying this out.

Thank you 14.4 .... How long did it take from China.

It was not very long, I think a week or less....

Finally got my cable from China yesterday ..  Tested out perfect on A/V adapter.

Build a mold and epoxied into a removable panel in the DASH..  Now no cable dangling and only one needed running from dash to phone when wanted.

NICE!  That cable sure makes my life easy!

This one costs less, comes from the US and looks like the connector isn't as fat (the part that would be showing/hooking up to the phone)

This is the cable I am using and from the same seller. The connector end is a little bigger then that of the Lightning cable that comes with the phone. This setup works well and allows you to move the Apple adapter behind the dash.

Has anyone had any issues with either this cord or the one from Japan?  I ordered the latter, and it won't keep me connected consistently, so the AppRadio button alternates from active to greyed out every few seconds.

These are all cheaply made in China so you cant expect 100% reliability. I would just have it replaced.

got mine today (the one staize linked to) and it works perfectly! now to clean up the install...
