You can have that Cable to provide the audio to your Radio, and just get a simple 3$ iphone charger for car on ebay.. problem solved.. You can charge your phone and listen to music..


Or maybe some cable add some extra functionality like this one:

Google (and ebay) is your friend..

Anybody tried this cup holder/iphone mount from Arkon?
http://www.arkon.com/manuals/IPM123.pdf

Wonder if it'll fit in the boxster cup holder, as they mention it may not work for pop out holders...

I HIGHLY doubt the shallow cup holder could provide enough counterforce for that long pole and the first little bump your phone will fall right out of the holder. I routed my cable from behind the stereo down the console and between the passenger seat and the hump. just let it lay there while plugged in, though I use an iPod, and keep my phone in the cubby and use a bluetooth speaker clipped to the visor. been very happy with that setup - I hate seeing wires and iGadgets just sitting out here and there.

For info, the cable is $110+$12shipping

You may be right Tony about the cup holder mount.
I made a long trip Thursday (300miles, top down on south virginia roads near blue ridge parkway ), and put my iphone directly in the cup holder. It's definitely the place for it to be I think, just have to find the best way for it...

found solution that will play and charge my iphone

The BLAU/8-pod connected to my CDR-220 radio worked well until i tried my new iPhone. Needless to day it did not work.
I did some searching and ended up purchasing this cable:
http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1467
along with the 5V docking cable
http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1401

My new iPhone now charges and plays on the stereo and mutes the stereo when a call comes in.
My wife also use it to play and her ipod photo.

Good luck!
