Apple iPhone cable to USB

Going nuts trying to find the adapter(s) I need for my car - thought I'd pick the collective brains on here!

Have a streaming / iPhone kit for my Becker headunit. The iPhone connection on the kit is the old 30 pin one (male). I need to connect this to a standard USB cable - also male.
So ideally I need a female 30 pin adapter at one end, going into a female USB adapter at the other. Have seen one listed on aliexpress only, and apart from having to wait 2 months for it to arrive, the stuff on there is normally tat.

Have looked at getting a 30 pin to lightning connector, and then using a female lighting adapter to female USB adapter - but they don't seem to exist.

Anyone have any ideas on an elegant solution??

What’s at the other end of the lead with the 30 pin connector?

First one only allows charging (all the micro USB ones seem to be charging only)

A box connector for the streaming device - its pretty agricultural looking!

Ok so unlikely to find elsewhere...

What are you trying to achieve? If you're trying to effectively plug the 30 pin Apple connector into a standard USB that's unlikely to work.

You could find yourself in a situation where you've got your adapter and the host device doesn't have the firmware to drive the guest device.

Hi Ken,
I have a BMW cable, 61122179623, with 30 pin male to USB (male) +3.5mm jack if you can get the female connectors.
Let me know if it's any use.

MM.

Thanks for the comments gents - got sorted in the end. Was a slight brain fart, I actually needed something a bit different.
