Is there an adapter or cord (30 Pin to Lightning, or 30 Pin to Bluetooth) actually KNOWN to work (not speculation or untested guesses) so we can all charge and control the newer Lightning connector style iPhone 5/6 etc phones with this stereo/boombox. Yes, we all know we can use the AUX IN headphone style jacks, please don't suggest that again, sorry it's a very obvious standard part of the unit, but it won't keep the phone charged or allow you to control (play, pause, skip, etc) the phone via the remote accross the room/party etc. We also realise that most adapters won't let you sit the newer iPhone 5/6 etc in the same cradle in the dock, it would probably have to sit on top, we just want to be able to use (Listen, Charge, Control) the newer Lightning connector iPhones as we did with our 30 Pin connector iPhone 4s. I love the big full sound of this unit, especially for its size, and want to once again make full use of this wonderful, but too expensive to throw out, stereo/boombox!

I think your only option is to get one sold in Apple stores. I have a small 30-pin-to-Lightning adapter (not a cable) and it does not work with either my iPad mini or my wife's iPhone 5. I also have a non-Apple Lightning charging cable (as a backup, just in case...). Same deal.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the input. Do you know this works? Or is it just a guess? The reason for asking the question in the first place is to find out wether something will work or not before going and spending money on it. Were both your adapters non-Apple? The first one is not clear. Thanks."
Hi Kenny. Yes, the adapter and the charging cable are both non-Apple. I bought both at Marshsll's in New Jersey. The adapter is from Sharper Image (the name is imprinted on the adapter); I don't remeber the manufacturer of the cable. The charging cable is actually part of a 3-head charging cable: one Micro USB (mainly for my Samsung Galaxy S3), one 30-pin that I use for my iPod Touch 3rd generation and an older iPod mini 6GB) and the Lightning plug. The only one that does not work is the Lightning one, as I mentioned. I made the suggestion with the Apple stores thinking that you can explain the guys there your situation, even have them show you if it works and ask them if they will allow you to return it if it does not work for you.
