• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Does the Spyder Audio System Work with the Lightning-to-30-pin-adapter

Just curious if anyone knows if the new connector adopted by Apple for its Ipod, Ipad, Iphone, etc, called Lightning will work with Apple interface built-in to our Spyder audio systems.

Not asking for guesses.... asking if anyone actually knows. Reason I am asking is I have heard the adapter to convert Lightning to the old 30-pin style has had mixed results with various devices. I am also planning on buying an Itouch but don't know if I should buy an older model with the 30-pin already built-in or buying the new Itouch (assumed to be released later this year) with the Lightning connector and use the adapter with my Spyder. Before I make a decision, I want to know what the experience has been if anyone has tried the adapter with the Spyder audio system.

I would prefer the buy the new Itouch because it will operate iOS 7 when it is released. The current Itouch uses an A4 chip and is not powerful enough or contain enough internal RAM to be upgraded to iOS 7. But I do not want to buy something that won't work with my Spyder audio system.

Anyone know?

There have been some problems reported with aftermarket Lightning to 30-pin adapters. Best to stick with the genuine Apple adapter,

Have an IPhone 5 and works great with the adapter that I bought from Radio Shack, no problem at all.
