iphone 5 and 2009 370z

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

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.
