Hi Forum,
First post here,

I've got a 2012 A4 with the 30 pin adapter for iphone/pad/pod etc... I now have an iPhone 5 and the adapter is different from the one Audi provides (now a lightning adapter). Anyway I ordered a cheap chinese one (1/4 the price of apple's similar adapter)...mistake

The Infotainmnent System doesn't recognize the device, and as a result I can't play my music off of the phone. The phone charges when it is connected, but can not be played thru the Audi system.

advise is to go direct to Apple for adapters. #getwhatyoupayfor

Even my apple adapter doesnt work on my 2011 Kia Optima. I dont have an ipod adapter in my Audi so I cant comment on that.
