iPhone 5 - PCM3 connection

On a 991 you just connect the USB cable. On a 997 you need to have the y-cable with a USB and a mini-DIN connector on it that comes with the car (you must connect both - one draws the power and the other sends the data). In addition you need the Apple 30 pin to lightning cable. Specifically you want the Apple part as many aftermarket alternatives don't work and you also want the one with the short cable rather than just the adapter block version.

A final footnote is that the forthcoming iPhone 6 will by all accounts be too big to fit in the cubby in a 997 with the cable attached.

Don't use the 30 pin to lightning wire connector as it doesn't work, check the reviews on the product listing
you need one of the 30 pion to lightning connectors without the wire, white plastic thingy about the size of a large stamp,

On the contrary - I know that it works as I have been using it myself with PCM3 in a 997.2 since it came out. Conversely, the one without the wire is somewhat problematic to actually get to fit into the cubby with everything connected (i.e. you can't readily close the lid).
It won't work with the iPod integration in some BMWs, but nor will anything else (one of their systems used the video passthrough, which isn't supported). Not sure about VAG stuff.
And yes : the pricing does transcend mere sarcasm... :what:

I tried the lightning adapter with a wire on a iPhone 5S in 3 997's and couldn't get it to work,
sent it back to apple for a refund then saw the complaints on the review section of the apple website,
