Phone Adapter conversion from iPhone 4s to 5s

Has anyone done this conversion or is it even possible?

Its been a while since I retired my 4s and now don't have music playback and charge capability in my Z.

Does anyone know if there is a conversion kit available or would I have to buy a completely new adapter?

Using snap-in or USB ? You should be able to connect Apple's cable to USB without any issues.

I bought this Apple Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter (0.2M) converter to attach my iPhone 5s with the old BMW Y adapter:

Awesome! Looks like I have a few low cost options at my disposal. Not sure how will the system read the phone via USB as I could use the existing cable that came with my charger.

Will try it out this weekend and report out next week...

Don't know if its of any material importance but my car is an 09.
