Hi All,
I have been enjoying the Iphone 5, but frustrated that I couldn't plug it into my old 30-pin things.
Being in Australia, I think we were 1 of the first to receive the adaptors so wanted to share my initial findings.

All of the following are the iphone 5 plugged into the 'lightning to 30-pin adaptor', then plugged into or mounted in a dock.

Working as they should:
Tascam IM2 (condensor Mic)
Apogee Jam (guitar input)
Alpine Car stereo with ipod input - All good, can select playlists/artists etc from the head unit just as I could with Iphone 4 etc.
Xtreme Mac Incharge Duo (iphone & ipad Charge (only) dock) - charges fine
Cheap charging dock - works fine

Not working:
Bose Lifestyle 235 - charges only, recognises it in the menu, but will not play

I haven't tested it with a stereo sound dock yet besides the Bose Lifestyle system. I am pretty sure it would work fine with their standard Bose dock style products, but would like to hear from others.

I hope this helps someone.

----------

Thought I would also try the Ipad camera connection kit - SD card - Not supported on Iphone 5
