Help me guys and gals!
I have had a waterproof socket fitted to my GS for a couple of years now - Image attached.....

I have the old style iPhone lead for it but have now moved to new iPhone 5s and need to source a lead.....
I can't remember where I ordered the originals from and am struggling to source the correct lead......

Can anyone help?

I assume you just want a USB to phone cable?

Littlejohn, thanks for the prompt response (I've herd of Google :) ) - but I'm looking to get the waterproof cable that has been available for this socket specifically.
It has a waterproof body that screws onto the socket to seal the whole assembly making it submersible.

It looks likes this....but I need one with the new style iPhone plug on the end.

I bought one for the iPhone 3/4 about 18 months ago, it was from the U.S. but having problems finding where at the moment.....STUBBS of this parish pointed me in the direction.....
 
I have not seen one of those sockets before - where could I find more details and what is the maximum amperage draw?
 
Kritou - The max supply at 5v is 1A on mine, that's enough for a phone or similar device. I believe they also introduced a 2A option for charging iPads and devices with higher requirement.....
 
This is where I got the charger and the lead from but it seems they have gone out of Businness or at least the website is no more? I think mine is the 2A version

This company does one for the iPhone 3/4 so you could get this and the adapter to confer it to the iPhone 5?

Thanks Buz.......as you say the website looks a bit unmaitained - doesn't seem to present photos and no e-commerce links.....I had sent them an equity in the hope that they are still trading - they appear to list an iPhone 5 lead.......no phone number unfortunately......
 
Burns Moto is Stephen Burns. He's a good guy, a friend of friends of mine in California and I've picked stuff up from his home a few years back. He's a Facebook friend and I believe he's still on here, so I'll message him on FB and ask him to take a look at this thread.
 
Thanks for input......much appreciated. I have emailed Stephen Burns, asking if he can supply.......

Sadly I have had a response form Burnsmoto to say that they cannot supply a lead and that the UK company appears to have gone bust.

I guess I'll have to use a standard cable when its not raining or change the socket on the bike. It's a shame as it is far more robust than others, and the cable plug is nice and positive with the screw fitting.....

.....if anyone else has ideas I'd love to hear them.....

thanks for the responses.......
