What is the difference between 30 pin and lightening connection? Thanks, Laura

Lightning connector works with iPhone 5 and newer while the 30 pin works with the iPhone 4s and older. There are adapters to convert 30 pin to Lightning but from what I have read, they do not always work. Also, Lightening connector works with the iPad 4 and newer (iPad Air and iPad Air 2) while 30 pin works with older.

It actually comes with both the 30 pin and lighting connectors as well as a car USB converter. Hope this helps.

So I have an iPhone 5, but I have to use the 30 pin connector to lightening adapter to make it work. The device itself has a 30 pin connector. I didn't have a problem with this, because I have the 3rd generation iPad which is still a 30 pin connector. Other than that it works pretty good.

No, the 30-pin is for the older iPad and iPhones. find one with a lightning connection.

Not definitely for sure, but i would say no; it does not have the lightening connection. I bought mine for my Nexus 5, android with micro USB

What year and maker for your vehicle? You might need lightning connector/converter for lightning vs the 30 pins connector

It uses the old style connector. You will need an adapter for the new lightening connector.

The unit has the 30 pin connection. I had an adapter for lightening connection on my iPhone 5. The iphone6 is too wide to dock in this unit

You will need an adaptor from 30 pin (input) to lighting (output) to then connect to your phone as the connector that comes on the system is 30 pin only.

WHat generation are we on now? As long as it has the standard 30 pin connection it should work. If it's the new lightening charger or whatever you will need an adapter.

So sorry for the delay with this response... We use this with our iphone 4s and also with our ipad and it works great! I plug it into my Samung charger and then into the iphone. I am not sure what you mean by the 'lightening connector' as this is more for converting a samsung like charger to a 30 pin Apple connector, not an 8 pin lightening connector. I hope this helps!

I bought this unit, based on the responses that the Ipod connector is the older 30-pin type. ITS NOT ! Its the new Lightning connector. So if you have an older Ipod (like I do) better find a different unit, or find an adpater. Because this one is absolutely the Lighting-type plug.

The doc on this model, which I have, is a 30 pin and not a lightening cable. You need a converter to use with an iPhone 5,5c or 5s.

The lightening connector only charges. You have to use the aux cable to play music or have the phone play through car speakers.

you can if it has the wider port(30 pin) like the 4/4s charger, or if you get the adapter to convert the 30 pin port to the lightening.

The Lightening Connector is the name of the charging and syncing connector for iPhone 5 and 5S. So this will work with those phones but not iPhones prior to that.
