Apple officially doesn't make one yet, has anyone tried any third party lightning to aux cables?

And if you ask why you'd want one, well it's just much more convenient then using the filmsy adapter for example if your car only has an aux port.

For any situation where you need to use an aux cable with the adapter, it seems it would be a much better solution to just use the lightning to aux cable and not have to deal with the adapter.

I just saw this one's at Best Buy, but I wouldn't know if they are considered AUX.

Just use the adaptor that came with the phone instead of buying a whole other cable. I had the same issue in my car, as I was no longer able to connect my phone, but I just took the lighting to headphone jack adaptor and connect it to the aux cord, works great. Plus those adaptors are really cheap in case you need to buy another one.
