2013 GTS and IPhone 5 connectivity for music

Car was in for the two year service but it has been in before for a software update for the bluetooth. Still under warranty mind.
Iphone 5 & ios 7. I bought a blue tooth to 30 pin adapter for $15 on amazon that sits in glove box and reliable connects to iphone.
Iphone is plugged into a full 1.5 amp cigarette lighter adapter.
Iphone simultaneously connects to car BT for phone.
Only issue remaining, and i always have had it, car BT doesnt connect automatically. I have to click BT_Device everytime to pair. Does your bluetooth phone auto connect to Car.
Regardless. Im pretty happy with this system although i may have lost some audio fidelity and i have no track info on car display.
'12 GTS Cabrio
Rags, or indeed anyone. Ive just taken delivery of my grantursimo sport (2016 production)......and connecting my iphone 6 plus to the usb port with my lightning cable doens't work. no music! Bluetooth for calls, no issue....music nada......will your 30-pin to lightning adaptor work for an iphone 6? or is there another solutions. Anyone???

I have some on Jukebox which works ok - but I want to be able to play it from my iPhone like dimes suggests.
Not sure what interface an 09 has?
Mine has an icon on the glovebox which says it is fully compatible with iPhones and should charge / stream etc. My hands free /built in blue tooth function works fine for phone calls - I just wanted to be able to stream music and charge my phone most importantly. The ****** chargers you get from petrol stations for the cigarette lighter 1) look **** and 2) dont charge my phone fast enough

Yep the USB socket in the glovebox does not have the power to charge a new iPhone with lightning connector.
Did you order one of these for BT streaming?

Only other option is to power your phone from 12V socket I guess.

I have one of those Phil and I find its pretty dodgy for music, when I go over bumps etc it dislodges- and I had problems with it draining my battery. I discarded it soon after purchase.
From what Dimes said, he got it to charge his iPhone and play music?
Its such a bad design floor that you can't charge it from the USB isn't it!

Posted this previously and think it will be useful...
Not all USB ports are equal - the USB Icon/symbols tell you what each port is capable of. The port on the 2009 Bose NIT is not supposed to charge and is only used for uploading music. The AUX port in the glovebox will allow you to use an iPod* and control it from the steering wheel etc. The issue is that the Aux in does charge older iPods but will not charge newer iPods where the power requirements are different. There is however an adapter that will allow you to charge iPod 4 etc.

Apple Changed the voltage system in their products from 4th generation products upwards in 2007/2008. This meant charging problems with certain docking stations such as the Bose Series 1 / First Generation. This adapter will solve this problem. This adaptor changes the charge voltage from 12V to 5V which will enable devices such as iPhone 3gs/4/4s, iPod's; Nanos, Classic iPod, iPad and iTouch etc, and it will charge your Apple device whilst your listening to it on your chosen docking station (no more draining the battery, and having to re-charge separately! Works with any iPhone, iPod and iPad charging system that was designed to charge the older 12V Apple devices
My experience with an 09 QP with Bose is that the iphone 5 does not connect well / reliably on Bluetooth but the iphone 6 is bulletproof
The Layen adapter works but it can disconnect so some tape was needed and i had a spare iphone 5 that i use for this that sits in the glovebox and typically stays charged if it is in airline mode etc.
I have Spotify on the iphone5 in the glovebox with the adapter but it cannot be controlled from the steering wheel etc. though it does display the artist and track... would be great if i could get this to work from the steering wheel controls but no joy so far.
