Hey guys,
My 2006 A3 2.0 TDI Sport came with a mounting plate for a phone cradle. Looking on ebay and google I can see that there is an official Audi cradle for the iPhone 4 / 4S (see below):
Mounting plate I currently only have:
Cradle:
Now Apple thought they would be very convenient and change the connector on the iPhone from a 30-pin connector to a Lightning connector. This means that I will need to install this in the cradle:
Combining the fact that the phone is now longer than the previous generations and the extra space used up by this converter - the cradle will need to be a good few CM 'taller' than it is presently.
Do any of you have experience with or know if this cradle can extend/contract? If this is not available, have any of you tried making your own mods to the cradle?
Better yet - if any of you know any out-of-the-box iPhone 5 cradles I would be most interested in hearing from you!
Regards,
Alec
