I am hoping to receive an iPhone 5 in the next few days, and I have one of these in my car GROM USB, Android Smartphone, iPod, AUX, Bluetooth Hands Free Integration to a factory car stereo
It's a little box that plugs into the stock stereo and provides USB (for flash drives), aux (for analogue) and iPod/iPhone integration. I only use the iPod/iPhone connector with my iPhone 4 and iPod Classic, and it's worked brilliantly for the last 6 months I've had it - lets you use the standard stereo controls to skip forward/back and select playlists, using the standard iPod app on the iPhone.
Grom say the Apple Lightning adapters work with iPhone 5 and existing Grom units, but naturally, being cheap, I don't want to pay £25 for an Apple adapter.
So my question is, has anyone used an eBay special adapter, and had good results with passing through audio from the dock connector? I know most of them say does not support audio and video, and even the Apple ones do, but I'm led to believe that is regarding "iPod-Out" functionality, rather than audio via dock, which is what I want in my case.
