Default iPod interface cords?

I just got a new ipod and it takes a different plug than the old ones. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a cord that has the new lightning plug for the ipod that goes to the iPod interface

Just need an adapter to go from the 30 pin to lightning. Not a new cord to the iPod interface.

Get the Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter cable. You can try one of the knock off ones but some of them don't sync.

The adapter cable works, I used it all last year with my iPhone 5s and the iPod kit on my 2012. Still charges and everything.

You can also get an adapter plug that goes from the 30 pin to the lightning. I got mine from Best Buy. New 2015 Road Glide Special came with the 30 pin, I just plugged the adapter into it. Works fine.

If you have any kind of case on the device get the cable.

I went to amazon and ordered a sync & charge cord that is 3 inches long, makes an EZ fit for
the USB compartment. The other cord was about 20 inches long and made it hard to get the
iPod hard to put into the Rushmore USB compartment.
