Lightning connector and/ or adapter?

Does anybody know where I can get a longer 30 pin to lightning adapter, does one exist or is the short one from Apple the only choice? Ideally I would like one long enough so I can reach my phone and really don't want any more adapters than necessary so I would rather avoid the 30 pin extension cables if I can.

Alternatively has mercedes come out with a new adapter cable with the lightning connector?

All the threads I saw on here say it hasn't come out yet, but they can't still be selling new cars with the old 30 pin connector are they?

Thanks Jon.

Is that the right cable though? The adapter from Apple doesn't have the extra auxiliary stereo plug on it and the audio works fine in my car?

This is the one I have, which works fine. Ideally I would just like to get a longer one if such a thing exists?

no idea bud I don't have any experience with that particular cable. I just did some searches online for it which looked like what you were looking for. I'm sure if you message the vendor he will let you know.

Thanks.

There seems to be some confusion whether or not audio works through the adapters and that's why they make that one with both plugs, but I don't know if that means it's different internally or not. I'll see what they say
