Anyone know of an apple certified brand that would work in the car that connects aux to lighting connector? It needs to look like the apple connector, because i have a case on my iPhone.

thanks!
 
You have to use an Apple 30-pin to lightning adapter since it includes a digital to analog convertor. The lightning connector only has digital output so you won't find a single cable to accomplish this.

Using a 30-pin to USB and Aux Y cable with the Apple 30-pin to lightning adapter should work for you. Apple sells a 0.2m adapter cable that probably works with your case. I plan on doing this setup myself since I haven't found any other way, and no company makes a single cable that has USB, Aux, DAC, and lightning.
 
What cable does Apple sell that will work with cases? I only found that adapter part.
 
Anyone know of a good third party wire that does 30 pin to lightening. The one from Apple is to thick to fit in my case.
