Transmit Audio Connection As Well?
The non-Apple approved adapters, where when connecting an adapter to a dock. it only charges, but is unable to transmit sound or music.
Does this lighting cable transmit music?
For example. either from a 30 pin docking station speaker, or most importantly, a Mercedes Benz B200 Turbo. which has an internal 30 pin cable for auxiliary audio transmission. Normal adapters doesn't work on it, neither does Bluetooth adapters that are meant for docking stations (but are not apple branded).
Please do let me know.- Asked by Cheryl T

I have a Pioneer AppRadio 3 with 30 pin Apple adapter. Will this allow me to still have audio, video and control of my iphone from the head unit?
I see some aftermarket lightning to 30 pin adapters do not support audio and video, so I would like to know whether the Apple version is giving you more functionality for this significantly more expensive product?
AnswerYou will have audio and control, but no video as this adapter lacks digital to analog video conversion. If you don't care about video, audio and control will still work. More people have reported that the apple one will at least play audio and charge, which some aftermarket adapters won't do

Is iPod out and line out the same thing? So for instance my car uses the line out to feed music to my stereo, will this not work with new iDevices?

AnswerNo, "iPod out" refers to a very specific feature that allows a display (usually a car's in-dash LCD) to show a replica of the iPod interface that can be navigated with an external set of controls (like buttons on a car's steering wheel). It's a very rare feature most often found in BMW and Mini automobiles.
Line out, which is just audio coming out of the connector, works just fine with this adapter. I have my iPhone 5 hooked up to my Kensington LiquidAux in my car using one of these and it works just perfectly.- Answered by Dan K from Lake In The Hills
