So I've been trying to confirm whether it works or not but I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I have the Y adapter in a 2008 x5. Does the Lightning 30 pin adapter work in the x5?

I bought one of the cheap chinese knockoffs which has been working fine but doesn't seem to work with the Y adapter. I have the Apple adapter on order but just wanted some confirmation.

FYI, in case anyone wants a comparison, the OEM Apple lightning adapter worked fine with the BMW Y adapter.

The knockoff works fine for data-syncing and recharging.

I got the knockoff from this company. iPhone5Mod

Bought the combo deal, micro-USB to lightning adapter and 30pin to lightning adapter. micro-USB still works using a battery power pack but the 30pin adapter seems to have stopped working in my docking station. :(

Guess I'm gonna stick with genuine stuff especially since I can get deals on eBay.
