My car's audio system is fitted with a 30 pin plug to fit an Iphone 3 +
- It worked and played the music contents of my Iphone 3, but now I have moved to an Iphone SE which uses a lightning plug. So I bought a
30 pin to lightning adaptor, which included a 3.5mm earphone plug in the same fitting. It doesn't work - it goes through the motions of appearing to play the music, but no actual sound.
If I use a lightning to USB and plug that into my laptop, it plays the music fine on my PC.
I see the Iphone selects 'earphone' as its output, when I plug the adaptor in and I'm wondering if that might be the reason it fails to play in my car? Would it work if I bought an adaptor without the earphone type plug, or simply trimmed the earphone plug off?
