BB go with the BrandMotion adapter. It's what I'm using now and it's great. It extends the cable by about 6" and locks onto the OEM cable. No connection issues and charges the iPhone 4S flawlessly. No playback static or noise either. A little more expensive than the other adapters ($40) but worth it IMO. The extension is nice too since I ran my cable out of the back of the arm rest so it doesn't get in the way of opening and closing nor does the cable take up the entire compartment.

 

Yes I have the 08 Model as well and I use the oem cord and it plays my iphone 4 but doesn't charge but I really don't use my iphone in the car for music. I bought a ipod nano 2nd gen for like $30 and it charges and holds at least up 1000 songs.

 

I see that a number of other people have tried it and it did not work for them. In the thread I looked at it seems you are the only person who did git it to work. No thanks.

 

Link to the exact one you have please. I'm with jeremie on this one and a little skeptic, due to that huge thread a while back only had one person that got it to work.

Thanks

 

Must have missed that thread. I bought my BrandMotion second hand from a member on here. Works great. Let me get a link for you. I'm just using the BrandMotion adapter and a new OEM cable straight from the dealer.

 

Well aparently it's no longer on the website.

This is what they're using now I guess.

iPod Charge Converter 5000-5VC2

I'll get a picture of what I got later today when I get off work.

 

Mine is by cable jive. Locks in nicely and doesn't come lose.

 

Can you post a link to exactly what you have?

 

I have had mine for about 3 years now. The top photo appears to be a newer version of mine... A little slimmer than the one I have which is nice. I got it off of Amazon.
With the cable jive adapter you can also use a USB charger connection which comes in handy if you leave your apple charger at home and someone else may have a USB plug that you can borrow.

 

Im sorry if i didnt correctly but does this cable charge and also play? or just play but fits alot better? If it doesnt charge is there one for the 08 that charges+plays music?

 

Ordered. Thanks Kevin.

Anybody want to buy a slightly use Soche Passport for cheap?

 

I have This and it works great. charges and plays in my 09G37S. also had them put the switch in for display out to my screen so i can use my phones nav app and see it in the dash.

 

thank you for this piece of information. didnt know this existed. always wanted the option of skipping ahead on long mixes forward or backward without having to hold the ffwd/rrwd button on the car or undocking the phone becasue of that stupid accessory screen!

 

Yep. It charges and plays music. You all the functionality of just the cars cable in addition to charging.

 

oh but you would have to plug two wires, micro usb to charge and the bottom from the car's plug to play.. Is this correct
