Installed Ipod/ipad Cable Today.

[Tonkachow]

Installed my cable today on the Stagea and it plays my iTunes music through the stereo fine, and my iTunes videos through my screen fine, I was able to keep the reverse camera ffunction no problems, but I was expecting it to be able to run my Co Pilot Sat Navigation application from my iPad as well, but it doesn't.

anyone know why it only runs the functions out of itunes only and not any other function from the ipad through the screen??

Hi Graham, as far as I know only a few selected (and most Apple developed) applications can be outputted via the dock connector. If you have a look at Apple VGA cable for the iPad you'll see a ton of people's reviews for the thing being quite disappointed that it doesn't mirror everything displayed on screen to other display sources.

So I assume it would be much the same (or worse) for the standard cable you've installed in your Stag.

Don't think theres much way around it otherwise. Sorry.

I found the same thing with my v35. I bought an app called tvout genie, absolute crap. While it did output some apps to video, the picture was useless.

Ok then. Thanks for the feedback guys.

I will have to just be happy to have what I have I guess.

I've also just discovered that for Ipad/Ipod applications to be viewed on an external 2nd screen. The developers of that particular

application need to enable that within the software and it seems that most haven't shown interest in doing that thus far.

Maybe in future upgrades for each individual application??
