Does anyone know if you can get a Media cable with the lightening connector for an iPhone 5?

Thanks

I spoke to the parts guy at my local VW dealer and he said that they are developing a cable but Apple are not very good at giving out information.

I bought one of these today

It works with the MDI kit

I had the other lightening to 30 pin adaptor (block) and it seemed to only work sometimes and it eventually broke into 2 pieces.

With the cabled adaptor I don't have any issues, the sound quality seems good to me and I have not had any interference.

The cabled adaptor also plugs into my iPhone without having to remove the case as I had to with the block connector.
