Y Cable Doesn't Stay in iPhone

Does anyone have the same prob as me? Where the Y Cable jack does not stay connected to the iPhone jack? Seems like the connector does not go all the way into the jack housing.

I already used a toothpick to clear it out. And i did get dust bunnies put. Let me try a vacuum later on too.

Thanks all

Vacuuming out the receptacle worked! I thought the toothpick would have done it. Must have been something majorly stuck.

Cool. I can now enjoy Pandora and Spotify.

A side note question. Do you find the Y Jack cord too short. Do you then use the Aux Jack with a three foot cord?

I got an iPhone cable extension that plugs in between the phone and the cable. It works fine

eBay has several 30 pin extension cords. I paid $7.00 with shipping for mine. Works great.
My sister"borrowed" it for use in her car. She loves it, got a new one within 3 days. Nice, beefy cord, connector and strain relief

I place my iPod nose down, display towards console in the netting holder in the passenger side. I use the extender for my iPhone 5
