okay so in order to get this to work, I would have to use the factory infiniti ipod cable, then plug that into the cablejive extension cable, then plug that into the cablejive adapter, then plug that into one of these:

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) - Apple Store (U.S.)

which then goes into the proclip dock? or did i mix up the order ahaha

Ya youll need the following... this is what I have working with my i5.

1. Factory 30 pin adapter
2.Cable jive charge converter
3. Apple lightning to 30 pin adapter cable

I have the xtender cable for extension purposes for my pro clip dock. The xtender does not charge but still works for iPod controls on my i5.

Edit: I also tried the factory 30 pin adapter with just the lightning to 30 pin adapter cable and only the iPod controls with music work, no charging. But we all should be used to that with our older iPhones because they never charged anyway unless you had an adapter like the scosche or cable jive.

I tried many times, and just tried it again. It just will not work with the cable lightning adapter.

The cable lightning adapter does work fine with a Pioneer head unit we have in a truck (full integration with menu, track title, etc), and a speaker dock. So, it's definitely plugged in correctly and not completely defective. It just refuses to work in the G, with or without the pass-through power adapter. But switch to my other lightning adapter, works perfectly fine every time, with or without the passport charging adapter.

haha im really **** when it comes to batteries in my devices... i dont like charging them unless i know im going to charge it to 100%. i charge my phone in the mornings so during the day when im driving around i dont need to charge my phone. longest run time for my iphone 5 has lasted 8 hours and 14 minutes of streaming sirius, running my strava app, playing music and a little bit of web browsing. pretty damn good!

yes, you would fit it inbetween the factory adapter and the apple adapter. thats the adapter in the 2nd pic thats not connected i only use it when i need to charge my phone.

hiding cables... ya you'd probably have to drill a hole out of your center console (or see if you can run the cable out the bottom of the center console) and run the xtender cable along the passenger side. it would have to be a wide enough hole to get the 30 pin connector thru. or get one of those sprint bluetooth adapters from a previous post in this thread.

btw: i just found out about those sprint bluetooth adapters from this thread and i must say, i kinda wish i would've gotten one of those early on. but i think the proclip method is the best.

Am having the same issue as most. I did purchase the 30 pin lightning adapter. I'm also using Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter which worked great with iPhone4.
My new iPhone5 charging is working well, however my car system is not able to sync up with the phone and keep saying "not ipod is connected" but my phone says "device connected". I remember with iPhone 4 at times the system will not sync up with the phone. I used to unplug it then plug again and the system recognizes it. With iPhone5, I have not been able to sync it, therefore I cannot play any music of my phone or play pandora and so on...
Is there a way to fix this?????? am frustrated...

I HAVE THE SOLUTIONS GUYS!....

Kidding... but i do have a recommendation. I work at a electronic store and we sell those wireless radio transmitter for phone that u just stick it in the audio plug + regular car to iphone5 charger. Now i understand this would not let you control from your center counsel or your steering wheel but hey, you cant have everything you want
