2015 Q5 MMI and Iphone 6
I recently purchased an iphone 6 with the new lightning connector. I also purchased the Mophie case to protect the phone. My problem is the Mophie case internally connects to the phone with the lightning connector. However the case uses a micro usb port for external connections, (charging and etc.) In order to connect to my phone, I must use a micro usb connector. I have found an Audi cable (30 pin female to micro usb) that should work in my glove box MMI connection.
.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I have read threads and reviews until I become dizzy and still don't know if this has a reasonable chance of success.

Are you sure that your Mophie case can charge and sync? Most of the battery cases I've used only charge through those Micro USB ports.

The misspelling of "Genuiene" doesn't bode well, but yes, that is the sort of cable you'd need. I'd probably just talk to the dealer though.

The case stipulates "Pass-through charge and sync means you never have to remove your juice pack to charge and sync your iPhone 6". I am hoping this will apply with the MMI cable.

Yes, control rest with the phone. The cable setup is designed to allow the MMI to contol the iphone. The new connections have me scrambling to get a cable setup that will all this through the Mophie case.

I hear you! In the end I use BT for mi iPhone 6 and have an old iPhone 3GS in the glove compartment connected with the red grommet cable (which allows album art and videos)

Bluetooth still isn't as reliable as a cable if you're looking to use it for playing music. I've had the MMI lose track of what was playing and the next and previous track commands not work for a few minutes until everything catches up. I just gave up and only use bluetooth for the phone functions and threw an old iPod Classic in the glovebox for music.
