ACM and iPhone 5

Whats an ACM?
I have a '10 XK and an iPhone 4S. I'm happy enough with the connectivity to the car through the iphone/ipod interface cable that came with the car (aside from the fact that its half the length it should be!!) but it wont charge the phone.
#1 - Where can I get a longer cable so i can actually handle the phone while it is pulled into the car??
#2 - how can i have the same connectivity and have the phone charge at the same time?
Any thoughts??

Iphone 5 Adapter (longer and/or that charges)
Well - The amazon extension cable linked to here is no longer available. :-( Seems like it is just a simple extension so I could grab another kind then throw the lightening adapter on the end. It won't charge for me but at least i don't have to drive with my nose in the center console box.
The Scosche website when you narrow the search to Jag, it shows 2007 and 2008 as a year, with both of those stating they have no products for the car.
I'm still interested in an adapter that will charge and be long enough to keep the phone useful. Any other suggestions?

Google Scosche iPod Charging Adaptor. Apple changed the pinouts that do the charging on their cables a few years ago. This adaptor fixes that. I put on the end of the Jaguar cable, then put a two foot extension cable after that so the jaguar cable and this adaptor sit in the console and the extension cable runs up and I sit the phone in the ashtray. Good luck.

I just bought: 'Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter for iPod and iPhone (Black)' by Scosche
Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more
I tried the 30 pin to lightening adapter by itself but unlike Spidi's experience I didn't get any charge through it without the Scosche adapter. But the audio controls worked fine through the lightning adapter. Extensions are a dime a dozen off any web site, or you can just get an extension version of the 30-pin to lightening adapter.
I'm looking forward to someone posting a DIY on installing a mounting base directly through the ash tray. I did his in my Tiburon and it worked great! (Ash tray was retractable, which made for a retractable mounting dock right on the dash.)
Maybe I'll toy with it if I find the time.
*Update - the extension cable I had did not work. Unit won't recognize the iPhone is docked. Works fine without the extension. Maybe the cable is bad?

3' -plenty long but I am having no luck on the charging side. Not sure how they are making that work. Even using just the super cable and 30 to light adapter it doesn't change. From what I can read, there is something else that is being added/used to allow charging but everyone is a little to general in describing what they bought so I can't tell what to order (or the link is dead).

Hi
This is what I did:.
Connected OEM Jag connector to this exact extender, and then into the Iphone 4S. Please note the original Jaguar cord has always recharged my Iphone.
Nothing has changed with regard to operations, just a longer cord.
Sorry I didn't post a hyperlink, but you can do a search on Amazon or cut and paste.

I'd love to see a mod like this!
The whole 'head in console' with the iphone is ridiculous! There has to be something better.
Let me know. Thanks

Still working in it. I spent 40 bucks on what I thought was an "extension" 30 pin to lightening adapter and it turned out to only be 6 inches long. That plus my scorche charging adapter doesn't come close to reaching the ash tray. So I have a little more looking around to do.
I can't find any other good mounting area. I don't want to drill anything that can't be undone. I'm still thinking a mount inside the ash tray would be the best.
I did find that the iphone5 with the most updated OS will allow me to operate pandora and control the playback selection fom the iPhone, so I'm happy about that.
