iphone 5 with subaru's ipod integration 2008-2009

Has anyone gotten an iphone 5 to work with the subaru ipod add-on kit for the 2008-2009 models using the lightning to 30 adapter?

 

So far I haven't had any luck. 4th gen nano works fine with it's native 30 pin, but the iphone 5 does not. Sometimes it is 'attached' although not all the time, but when I hit play, it just pauses it immediately. Never a peep from the speakers.

 

I exchanged the lightning to 30 pin cable adapter, but that didn't help.

 

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the reply!

 

I did try restarting the iphone while plugged in, no change.

 

I have decided to go with the PAC cable IS75 ($31 from amazon [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TH8O7E/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]Amazon.com: iSimple PolyWire Car Radio RCA Audio Connector Cable for iPhone or iPod, IS75: MP3 Players & Accessories[/ame] )

 

and hard wire it to the aux connector and power from the car. The PAC solution you linked to is probably the next best thing, and I imagine that if it doesn't support the iphone 5, they would update firmware so it will, but I think I've given up and just want something to work. The cable I'm buy clearly says it is compatible with iphone 5 lightning to 30 pin cable on PAC's site:

"Fully compatible with the lightning to 30-pin adapter" I just hope I don't get some weird old version from amazon! But you would think they would rev the part number if they made changes.
