Other than that I am able to search and play music from my phone through my car's audio system without issue.

I have had this car for 4 years and used it with my 3rd generation iPod touch without issue. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing charging issues with the new adapter and their existing setups.
I purchased this aftermarket Y cable from Amazon, and with the 30 pin adapter from Apple, it charges my iPhone 5 without issue (although it is a slow charge):
