Lightning adapter/connector audio output clarified by Apple

That's cool that they'll put out other types, but I'm still not happy about the iPod-out not functioning. One of the things I love most is running it through my car, and seeing the iPod info on the screen for control.

What year is your car? Not every car uses the iPod Out feature. Some cars (maybe even MOST models that have 30-pin connectors for the iPod) have their own proprietary iPod/iPhone interface. My 2008 Infiniti EX35 is one such example. It does NOT need or use the iPod Out feature (which wasn't introduced until 2010).

Mine is a 2010, and have been enjoying it from day one. Disappointing to say the least.

Are u sure your car uses iPod out? Does your car support iPod classic? If it does you are not using iPod out. That was an iOS feature. I wouldn't worry, your car will likely function the same.

I may be mistaking, but what I know is...when I connect my iPhone via cable to my car, my screen goes to iPod mode. From there song names, song titles, time displayed, menus for albums, playlists, etc is displayed. Driving a Kia Soul 2010.
 
Well there seems to be some confusion over what iPod-Out means.

Cnet suggests it refers to BMW specific car kit?

We contacted Apple locally, and a representative confirmed that "speaker docks and in-car capabilities won't be affected". We're just waiting for clarification on what will be affected by the lack of iPod-out support.

My 2008 Infiniti does EXACTLY the same thing (song names, song titles, time displayed, playlists, etc.) when I connect an iPhone or iPod. My Infiniti does NOT rely on "iPod Out".

As suggested lbhskier37 suggested, even connecting an iPod Classic to my Infiniti works the same.

Hopefully Lightning adapter won't interfer with it. Fingers crossed!
