Parts to adapt Brodit car dock for iPhone 5

thingiverse

Your "active" charging docking station for your iPhone 4 was incompatible with your new iPhone 5 due to Apple's change from the older 30-pin connector to the newer Lightning connector. This was particularly frustrating since you had invested in an expensive Brodit holder designed specifically for your car. Fortunately, after some tinkering, you were able to make the docking station work with your iPhone 5 by replacing much of its assembly. The photographs showcase these modifications, highlighting the differences between your clear PLA parts and the original black plastic pieces from Sweden. However, be aware that this setup requires an authentic Apple Lightning cable for functionality. In addition, if you experienced the UK's hot summer, consider replacing the PLA parts with ABS ones to prevent melting. To assemble, follow the provided instructions and use M3 screws and nuts. Be cautious when purchasing a Lightning cable; a non-genuine one from eBay failed to work in your setup due to size differences in the connector head.
