Best iPhone 5 interface

Hi all,

What's the best iPhone 5 interface for OEM CD player head unit?

Had the Grom iPhone 4 but lightning adapter did not work that well.

Car has a Nokia Bluetooth thing wired in which is ok for phone/navi but it doesn't do music :-/

Cheers,
Ash

I cheat & use an fm radio transmiter .. works suprisingly well

I use iphone4 adapter plugged into the back of the OEM headunit, with a blutooth connector (like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/12159...f14=108&ff19=0) attached to that for wireless connection to an iphone5.

Only downside is that the radio adaptor needs power via a USB adaptor, it all tucks in the little cubby hole below the radio when not in use.

Anyway, all a bit pointless really given the crap sound quality of the radio and awesome sound quality of the engine
