Q
I have purchased a JVC KW-V20BT unit for our Jeep. I was told at a local bix box store by an install tech that I could use this cable to allow my Apple 5 phone to communicate with the unit for music, video , and apps in the phone. I was also told that I would need an additional Apple plug to convert this cable so that it can be used for the Apple 5 lightning. Can anyone tell me if this is really going to work before I get this unit installed?? Thanks...

Edward, I this is the best answer I can give to your question about the JVC KW-20BT. I think complete compatibility will only happen with the with the iPhone 4s. I read many reviews before purchase of this unit. One of the reviews turned up this information: ByBuffFanon November 26, 2014 If you have an accessory that requires this cable (like the JVC KW-V520BT) and you have an iPhone 5 or greater, this cable will not work for video, even with an Apple 30 pin (old style) to Lightning (new style) adapter. This is due to design differences in each of the connectors, and the Lightning connector won't pass video through to the 30-pin connector. Apple has numerous other converters for things like HDMI and VGA connections, but if your receiver requires this cable, your Apple device must have the old style 30 pin connector. I understand that you are requesting information about the JVC KW-20BT and the above review is about KW-V52BT, however I believe the result of the connection between the JVC KS-U59 and the apple connector would be the same. I don't think it would work. Just my opinion. I hope this helps. Larry

You can use that cord or you can order the conversion plug that uses an hdmi cord for the iPhone that allows if to be mirrored on TVs etc. and retain your USB input on your head unit for simple streaming music or as a charging port

Hello, This cable works flawless with i- phone 4s , ipads and iPods.it plays videos, music and Netflix. I have not tried the iphone 5 yet. As long as the lightning adapter comes from Verizon or Apple. It should work. I work for Mercedes and we have had no issues with the adapters from either place working in our cars. Hope this helps

Can I use this cable with an adapter to make my iPhone 5s work with it?

I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: Unfortunately, no. This cable is designed for audio and video from the iPhone4 and 4s. The iPhone 5 and up require the receiver to have a compatible HDMI input. For audio/video from the iPhone 5, the customer would need to upgrade their radio. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.
