2010 S550 iPhone 5 adapter question

Hi...hoping someone can help with this question.
I just purchased an iPhone 5 and realized the cable in the glove box is a 30 pin connector that worked perfect with my iPhone 4, but will obviously not work with the new 8 pin lightning connector.
Every 30 pin to 8 pin adapter that I've seen only charges and syncs and will not support audio/video.
Is there anything that is made to make the cable in the glove box fully compatible with my iPhone 5?
Thank you so much for helping.
Sal

I use this on my MCS II Command in my R and it works with my iPod integration:

Thank you for responding.
Are all of the iPhone functions usable from the steering wheel control?
Also......does it charge the phone too?

Thank again..Sal

On my 07 R I can still control it from the steering wheel and it does charge the phone.

Apple's got a pretty decent return policy. So you can always buy it, try it out, and if it doesn't work just return it.
