You can buy the knockoff (reversed engineered) versions, but you can pretty much blame Apple for the high cost of the official cables as they require licensing for their cables and also include a fun "authorization chip".
It looks like the newer docks don't even have a 3.5mm jack (-10dBV output). The older docks do though so it's only the dock cost plus a $5-10 3.5mm TRS cable.
Technically the knockoffs are illegal too, so there's that. Apple's pretty notorious for milking their customers. You should have known what you were getting yourself into! haha...

From what Ive read, it’s a very common problem for most older model G owners! Some people say it’s the cable that was provided with the car, the adapter being used for your phone, etc.
What kind of adapter do you use if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve tried two different manufacturers for this and I read that this is supposed to allow you to charge and play at the same time as opposed to this which I’ve been using right now that only enables me to play music. :(
Do you mean something like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0149QE3LC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478893656&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX280_SY350_QL65&keywords=30+pin+to+lightning&dpPl=1&dpID=31Jsa0H-8vL&ref=plSrch
They (Apple) have two connectors that I was talking about, a short stubby one, and a long one. I connect one of those to the black cable that hyundai provided.
