Can anyone with the iPhone 5 confirm it works in the maxima ? Rumors are the new connection won't work well with cars, and can only be controlled by the phone itself.

 

I heard you need an adapter to make it work like this

 

Personally I only use my iPhones via Bluetooth in my maxima. If I plug it in to keep from draining the battery in my phone, it's just plugged into a charger in the 12v outlet, and not the USB port.

 

There's an adapter for the old iphone connections to convert it to iphone 5 connection. You should purchase the adapter regardless cause trust me your gonna need that for a while lol

 

I just plugged the new lightning cord into my USB connection 2010+ maxima. I have a 2012 with the latest maps and firmware and works great. Do not need an adapter.

 

plus a new lighting USB is cheaper than the adapter

 

What is a lighting USB?

 

Is it lightning or lighting? I really don't know cuz there are USB cords that do illuminate

 

The new connection the iPhone 5 is called Lightning. This is just the part on the phone; the other end of the cable is still USB.

As for the older model 7th gens, the iPod integration was with a special cable dictated to thniPosd, not a universal USB cable. The new iPhone may not work even with the adapter because the adapter does not support iPod interface controls.

 

I have a 2010 Maxima. I have not gotten the IPhone 5 (with lightning cable via USB port) or my newest Ipod Touch to work via the USB cable. I am also running into issues with the blue tooth connection via the Iphone 5 with the Maxima as well. It is frustrating.

 

I started this thread a little while back. Perhaps it will help everyone.

Confirmation.

I have a brand new iphone 5 updated to 6.0.2 OS. I also have a brand new 2013 Nissan Maxima and both phone and cable work perfectly in my car.

I am able to control my music on my steering wheel and dash controller.

My bluetooth connects perfectly and i have no issues with hearing or speaking through the car's bluetooth.
