I have the following Sony Speaker Dock: Amazon.com : Sony RDPX500iP Dock for iPod, iPhone and iPad : MP3 Players & Accessories
Recently, I had to upgrade my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to a 5th Gen, because understandably after 5-6 years it needed a battery and was running very slow. I used the Sony speaker dock linked above ^ for about 2 years with the 3rd Gen iPod. The speaker still works great, is basically the equivalent of the Bose Sounddock, and it was $250-300 when I got it. I don't want to have to buy the newer model of this speaker just b/c Apple needed to change the dock connector from 30 pin to 8 pin. The speaker does have an auxiliary connection, and yes, I can use an audio cable to connect the iPod to listen only. However, I'd like to be able to use the speaker as originally intended, which would be the ability to listen and change simultaneously again.
I've tried this adapter: Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) - Apple Store (U.S.) in conjunction with a regular (male to male) audio cable. Using those two cables, I can only make the choice to charge or play. It appears that the only way I can achieve both functions simultaneously again would be to use a cable such as this one: Audio Adapter Converter for iPhone 5 5S 5c Apple Lightning 8 Pin to 30 Pin Dock | eBay
So, my question is... Does anyone know where I can find a converter cable like the one shown on eBay or something similar, but purchase it in store somewhere here in the US? I've called Apple presenting the situation, and they haven't been able to find one. It does seem like the converter from eBay will work with the speaker, but I'm weary of buying something like this from half way across the world on eBay. I'm sure many have had this problem with accessories since the change of 30 pin to 8 pin dock connector, so I'm curious to get thoughts/opinions on whether there's some way to make this work and a reputable store to buy the cable. Thanks in advance for any input!
