So If i plug my standard iPhone 5 USB into my car it should play over USB? If true that's awesome.
I have been using my iPhone 4 cradle to date, but have noticed that the Y cable produces clearer sound? Could this be related or just perceived? At the moment as my iPhone 4 cradle broke anyway I have been using my old iphone 4 plugged into the Y cable as a dedicated music device.
i was planning to grab an iPhone 5 media cradle as soon as one comes out though.
