Kenwood & Iphone5
 

I have a Kenwood DNX6980 that I pulled from the 350Z and had it installed in the Nismo. When I had an iPhone 4S, everything worked great. Since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I can't connect the two. I've tried the 30 pin to lighting adapter, using the USB/lighting cord, and nothing works. The phone will charge, but not hook to the tunes or Pandora.

I'd like to keep the unit, it's only a year old. Anyone have a suggestion on how to mate the two?

Thanks in advance!

Wrong section!


It's either gotta have USB, or... Gotta go the "ghettoer" way, and use an RCA input (red/white)

this ^^ or what about connecting via bluetooth? Thats what I do with my S3 and my pioneer unit..

Isn't the Kenwood firmware upgradeable so it can pair with newer phones?

I don't think the firmware is the real issue, it's the BS of the iPhone 5 not having audio/video out... I know that my iPhone 5 with the USB cable works fine when plugging it into my '10 or '13 Maxima

it really doesn't??

The audio out affect people plugging into BMW iDrive style systems
And that's what they stated, and a HUGE reason why their sales weren't as substantial than their previous releases
They SAID they will make some sort of video out cable, but so far, nothing
