iPhone 5

Hey guys,

I recently just bought an iPhone 5 and I remembered that the cord for the iPhone 5 is different from the 4. Now I can't play music off my phone from the glove box anymore. I've been burning CD's and it takes too much time yet I always forget which CD is which. What are my options other iPhone 5 users?

Sorry if this has been asked before or a stupid question, I've just been really busy lately and I just wanted to know how others did it. Do I have to buy an adapter?

On a side note, I went into Mercedes-Benz yesterday to check how much Service B would cost. $869.95!!!! One while day but I will receive a loaner car. I still think that's way too much just for checking a bunch of things. Besides changing transmission fluid etc.

You can either get the 15 pin to lightning converter cable, or get a Blackberry media bridge and plug it to the Aux port and stream all your music without the cord.

Bought a well used (scratched all over etc,, but still works) 160GB iPod Classic off Craigslist for 80 bucks and just stuck that in the glovebox to play through my Alpine system.
