New iPhone 5 won't work with Porsche Iphone cable?
I see the new Iphone featuring the new smaller Lightning connector, means that expensive Porsche cable for the iPhone wont work. I also read there is an adaptor to go from the old apple connector to the Lightning connector, but it wont support control and or video. meaning, you can still play the music, but wont be able to control the Iphone from your stereo in car. I guess we will see.

You're correct. They are releasing an adapter for the new Lightning charger. I would give it some time, you know somebody is bound to come up with an adapter that can still keep it fully functional. I give it 3 months tops

As posted in another forum...
Now with the iPhone5 and Apple's move to go with a wholly new dock connector, the existing two iPhone/Pod interface cables won't work on this new phone... so we get a chance to buy ANOTHER new cable for the car.
Yes, Apple will make an adapter available, but given how tight it is in that small center cubby already with the phone and cable, a few extra millimeters for more adapters may not be available.
Grr...:banghead:
The problem is the real estate in the cubby is too small for this combo of longer phone + adapter plus the Porsche cable.
I'd prefer to see an upgrade to the UAI module as a way to fix this so 5vdc charging comes out of the iOS port and a selection of cables that work with old and new connector types without adapters.

Everybody needs to quit having their panites in a bunch.
What do you plan on doing with your old iphone????
Yep, a dedicated phone for your Pcar and you can still use bluetooth to take calls from your iPhone5.
Not sure why all the big fuss.

What this means in a practical sense is that I'll have to buy a new cable for both the Porsche and the Audi. It's not a huge deal, but another $50 each just to keep the number of devices to a minimum.

Don't most people use bluetooth with any BT phone? I've got an iPod classic hooked up to the cable and use it just for tunes. My phone has always been independent of that cable connection. Not sure what the big deal is.
