How to fit iPhone 5 adapter in armrest?

[Juswoo98]

So I purchased one of these from Ebay so that I could play my music from my iPhone 5. I have one of those arm rest iPod adapters. Does anyone know if this is just plug and play or is there some other things that need to be done before?

You need the MDI-kit to use that cable!!! You can't connect it to you ipod adapter!

Will the MDI kit work with older radios? I've an RCD500, with the ipod dock in the armrest? I currently use an extender and adaptor to play the music from my iphone, but it doesn't charge?

So would this solve the problem?
