iPhone 5 and LR iPod kit.

I know this has been semi-discussed in other posts but haven't had a definite answer yet.

Has anyone got an iPhone 5 and plugged it into the genuine Land Rover iPod kit which is part number VPLME0004, I believe?
I guess it would also require the Lightning to Dock adaptor.

I will at some point want to purchase the kit but wanted to make sure it's going to work.

If you have the above setup, could you confirm what functionality you get, sound, track names display, steering wheel controls etc please.

Thanks 
Had it, loved it!

Thanks for reply, i only have a little doubt due to a lot of stuff on Internet suggesting limited functionality of the new style lightning connector with 'dock' accessories.

If anyone who has the kit fitted with any iPhone on latest iOS 6 tried plugging iPod / iPhone into the USB port of the LR iPod kit? Some have suggested this won't work.

Sorry for the hijack, but does this kit connect the phone to the roof antenna? Just looking for a way of bumping up the signal reception.

Thanks.

As far as I know, there's no way of connecting an iPhone to an external antenna.

Actually, there is, but it is not extremely easy to do especially for later models. If you get the official BMW cradle kit provided as a replacement for the 02-04 L322 nokia phones and get a BMW iPhone 'snap-in adapter', you will have an inductive coil in the cradle that boosts the signal strength through the spoiler antenna / shark fin very effectively. There is a list of parts on the now defunct L322.com site which can still be accessed through the internet archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20101029172720/..._KITS.html

For the interior facelift models(07>), you either mount the snap-in adapter directly in the center slot in the upper center console cubby (entails having leads soldered directly to the board in the snap-in adapter) or you have to do major modification to the cubby and the cradle adapter.

Not certain if it answers the question fully but my 30-pin to lightning adapter works fully with my '12MY. There were some reports that on some iPod dock devices that there was music but no track control.

Any news?
I bought the LR iPod kit anyway, as it was a bargain I couldn't let slip away.
Just hoping it fully functions with the 'lightning to dock' connector.
Once I know for sure I will order the connector and start stripping down the dashboard / glovebox in my FF Shocked
