Default mmi lightning cable

My 2013 s4 came with the old 30 pin iPhone cable. Is there lightning cable available to go with iPhone 5s. I have enabled video in motion. It will be nice that I can play video over the cable too.

My 2014 has a lightning adapter that plugs into the older style 30 pin...

Can't help on the video

One was available for awhile in Europe but not in the US. As mentioned, use an Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter with the standard AMI cable.

Note that this setup will not pass video from an iPhone with a lightning connector, just audio.

don't know how well these work, but I saw them on ecstuning's site.

Audi B8 S4 Quattro 3.0T Interior Sound System - 4F0051510AC - IPod/IPhone Adapter Cable - Lightning - ES#2680871

Looks to me that it is for audio only though...

Bought a 30/5 apple adapter for my 2014 and 2010 and it worked just fine. I first bought a clone but that did not work.

The Lightning/AMI cable "AD" version is reported to pass both audio and video from an iPhone 5xx. The problem is this cable has been backordered for months in the US and possibly in Europe as well.
