COMMAND APS - get modern iPhone to play

Anyone had luck in getting the modern iPhones (6 and beyond) to work with Command APS? I read on the forums some people having luck by going for the original media iphone cable and then using CableJive dockStubz+ (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) followed by an original Apple 30-pin to lightning adapter (http://www.apple.com/pl/shop/product...cze-30-stykowe).

I've tried that and while it allowed me to get the iPhone charging, Command still claims the device to be unsupported.


Is there a way?

Lightning connector iPhones will work with an original apple old style to new style adapter and a cheap $10 power adapter for the old iPhone connector.

So it goes mb aps- mb old iPhone adapter/ cable in glove compartment- cheap power adapter for old iPhone- apple oem adapter from old to lightning plug adapter - new iPhone.

This will allow play as well as charge of new style iphones

That's what I think I have but it doesn't work. Command claims the device is not supported. I can see an option to stream music to a 'dock connector' on iPhone but when I do no sound comes out of the speakers. Not sure now which of the three components I have wrong...

You need an apple OEM old-to-new adapter. an aftermarket one will not work
