Title: Apple connector to 3.5 phono and micro USB cable?
Post by: addictweb on October 03, 2012, 10:09:45 AM
I'm trying to find a cheap pre-built cable which goes from an Apple 30-pin connector to a micro-usb and photo connector.

It's quite easy to make (see here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632122)) but I'm sure somewhere must be selling this?

Deal extreme come close with this (http://dx.com/p/iphone-ipad-ipod-30-pin-to-3-5mm-audio-adapter-cable-3-5mm-male-to-dual-female-audio-split-adapter-51967?item=3) and this (http://dx.com/p/usb-to-apple-30-pin-micro-usb-data-charging-cable-white-15cm-130870?item=1) but not something that combines the two.

My plan is to fit a RPi (micro usb power and phono audio) onto an iPod dock. Then control an XBMC instance running on it turning my ipod dock into a powerful networked audio player.

Anyone know where I might find such an item?

Yep! That would do as I could use an adapter to convert to micro-usb, dont seem to be able to order form that site though.

Just me or can you not buy a female to female apple 30 pin adapter?

I need one to go between the ipod dock and the above apple car cables. My plan might be in pieces!
