Problems with my iPod Adaptor

[markc9503]

Here is the situation: I am using an iPhone 5c on my Voyager. I have the Kawasaki iPod Adaptor installed and I use an Apple 0.2m 30 pin-Lightning cable and because of this I do not use the foam insert.

Now the problem: Sometimes the audio playback from the phone will just stop. Sometimes it is when I start the bike up and sometimes it is when I am going down the road. Usually unplugging the phone (after stopping) will cause the audio playback to resume at the place where it stopped but sometimes I have power down the phone and start it back up. Even when the audio playback is interrupted the phone continues to charge.

Some of the problem was, I think, due to the wires in the Apple cable getting kinked. I replaced the cable with a new one and the frequency of the problem has decreased but it has not gone away. Sometimes on the phone I get a message that "This accessory is not supported", which I assume refers to the Kawasaki adaptor.

So, at long last, my question: Has anyone else experienced something similar or is it just me? I know there is a 30 pin-Lighning adaptor which is a solid unit but I have not tried that due to concerns over the tight clearances in the storage area on the dash. Any information would be welcome.
