iPhone 5/6 adapter

Hello!

I have the OEM cable that inserts into the jack inside the center console. This cable has an iPhone 4 and older gen connection on the other side. I have tried a bunch of different setups. I tried a lightning 30 pin adapter. It played my music but didn't charge my phone, and I can't charge my phone with that connected because it inserts into the charge port. When I plug an iPhone 4 into the OEM cable, it charges the phone and plays music. I can even toggle between songs on the nav screen. I tried a 30 pin to 8 pin adapter with an aux split off and that didn't work at all. I've read they don't make the cable that connects to the iPhone 5/6, so I was curious what you guys run in your vehicle? Some sort of adapter or cable that gets your phone to play music and charge? Any links? Thanks!

(Edit) 2009 G37s. I've read I can't use Bluetooth to play music, only phone calls, so I don't think that's an option.

Some guys had luck using the scoshe adapter and the short 30 pin to lightning apple connector. I was stubborn and used the long 30 pin to lightning adapter. With the scoshe adapter, it will only charge. Without the adapter, it will only play the music and let me control it from the steering wheel.

So, we can't have the best of both worlds? If I got the scoshe adapter, would it play music AND charge? Or just charge?

With the long 30pin to lightning adapter and the scoshe adapter, it will only charge. But someone was able to get it to charge and play using the stubby 30pin to lightning adapter and the scoshe adapter.

Th way i did it in my 08 was with the short apple 30 pin to lightning(no cable), the CableJive dockStubz+ Charge Converter and 30-pin Pass Through Adapter, and a 30 pin to 30 pin extension(not needed but good for adding length and splitting up the adapters)
