There should be some sort of y-cable adapter which allows you to listen to music and charge the phone at the same time? But I am not sure if that is actually tech ically possible.
- Longhanks 10y agoThe docks do this since years. You just plug in the lightning and the dock provides lightning out and audio out. So an adapter is definitly possible.
- AndrewKemendo 10y agoThis is a terrible solution though. To have to buy something new to retain a function that was previously available is just backward.
- DigitalJack 10y agoThat'd be like having to use USB floppies. or USB dvd drives. Crazy!
- code777777 10y agoThe issue I've run into with the docks is that I have to remove my case to use them.

- lh7777 10y agoI've had this setup in my travel kit for years. I use it in every rental car so I can listen to music and charge my phone / use GPS at the same time. Y-Cable (dock connector to audio & USB): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LUKCX4 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LUKCX4 Dock to Lightning adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014854UWG https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014854UWG For a cleaner solution (and if you also need a cigarette lighter to USB adapter), there's this from Griffin, but it's out of stock and unclear whether it's discontinued: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NCF0LHC https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NCF0LHC I've never had anything but a terrible experience with Bluetooth, and I'm definitely never using Bluetooth to connect my phone to a rental car, so I imagine I'll be using the above system for a long time to come.
