I have a 2009 370z and it has the ipod 30 pin connector. I've had friends plug their iPhones (4 and earlier) into it and play music previously no problem. I just got an iPhone 5 which uses the new lightning connector which requires an adapter to plug into the old 30 pin connector. I can't get my iPhone 5 to play music in my car using the OEM 30 pin connector with the adapter to the lightning connector, the radio just says "no iPod detected". Are others able to play music with their iPhone 5 in the z?

mine played in the 370 ok until last week...now it only plays in mono?????
The i-pod 5 is not compatible with LOTS of things...my Bose house dock or Sony dock...I called Bose and their suggestion was....buy the new Bose equipment which IS compatible WTF!???

I have a 16g card that I put all my music on and listen from there.

So you do have options to listening to your fav music.

It's not the cars fault the technology keep changing.

Huh? I'd love to know where that is!??? :tup:

Not surprising in the least. Good way to make sure new money keeps coming in...

I have an 09 370z and bought an Iphone 5 since the day it was released. At first I bought the 30 pin extended cable and it wouldn't work so I returned it to Apple and got the regular lightning to 30 pin adapter. So far its been almost 5 months and it works PERFECT. The Iphone 5 will work with the adapter. Its been working on mine. I use the Ipod interface on the navigation system and I can even scroll thru my playlists of songs on my phone and control it from there.

I would return the adapter and exchange it for another one to see if that works. Thats what happened to me at first. I think with Apples recent updates on the phone I noticed that now I can control all the music from my phone and navy screen. Before the Iphone 5 would say something like "connected to player" and you wouldn't have the freedom of doing that. So now you can have the best of both worlds. Let me know how it goes.

Hi sorry to Hijack this thread, I am from the UK and have a 2009 370Z GT with sat nav but I only have a headphone jack rather than a Ipod connector, did you fit this yourself?

I want Ipod intergration so I can control it from the radio unit but struggling to find anything :(

In the US we have a dedicated wiring harness for touring with nav


In your center console, what do you have beside the cigarette lighter thing?

Ok I bought a 32 gig CF card to replace the iPod, because the 2nd cupholder is consumed/replaced by the seriously stupid large iPod connector header. I thought I could put quite a few songs on there and have a decent to go library. BUT, tonight I found out - after reading a few posts on here, that there is a size limit. The limit is 512 songs, they're all in the root of the card so I know there are no folders, etc. Well I guess back to the old trusty iPod. Now I have to figure out how to get the large clunky plug (why they couldn't use a USB plug I'll never know) out of the 2nd cupholder cubby and into some other space that won't interfere with the cupholder.

You use the 2nd cup holder???
I took that POS out the first day


They switched to USB 2010+
Oh, and talk to triples. He said he uses a CF card with more than 512 songs

Solved
 
Hey guys I solved the iPhone 5 to 30 pin connector problem. You need to buy 2 things.

1. Apple 30 pin to Lightning Adapter: Lightning to 30-pin Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)

2. Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter: Amazon.com: Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter for iPod and iPhone (Black): MP3 Players & Accessories

Connect the charging adapter to the 30pin in the center console, attach the Lightning adapter to the Charging Adapter and because this will charge the iPhone it will see it as a connected iPod.

Enjoy your music!

P.S. Still not BlueTooth streaming, I've tried a ton of stuff but at least now the 5 can be plugged in.

Lol, yeahhhhh... I did that for a time, to even use a 4S you'd have to make some modification.


Best solution, Radio Shack headphone to RCA (red/white) cable, and a car charger

Does this offer same sound playback as if its connected in the way I suggested? My concern is just using red/white will not give same sound quality but perhaps that is grossly wrong.
