This is an Alpine aftermarket head unit. It's a USB port with a 30-pin cable. Apparently something is "special" about the cable, so just using a Lightning-USB adapter doesn't work. It doesn't even do anything. Which is stupid, because I can take a $4 USB stick, throw some MP3s on it, and it will play.
Which I'm probably just going to do.
