Best Answer:
No, a thousands times no! This adapter will NOT work on interlaced TVs (1080i, etc.). It MAY work on some TVs that support 1080p or 720p, but this adapter isn't very reliable or robust in its support for autoswitching to other resolution so you may just end up with a black screen (no video) and there are no adjustments on the hosting iOS device so if it doesn't work on your particular TV you are just kind of out of luck.

Best Answer:
No, it's only a "Lightning to HDMI" cable, and not the other way around. It lets you display the conents of the screen of an iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch that has a Lightning connector, on an HDMI-connected display, such as an HDMI TV. It does not allow you to use an iOS device as a display monitor.

AnswerShort answer: NO. :(
I just had a Pioneer 6000NEX installed today. Had to drive to the nearest Apple store to purchase the Lightning Digital AV Adapter as my audio shop claimed that Apple would not allow them to carry it. When I plugged it into my iPhone 5, the 6000NEX indicted "Unsupported USB" and would only allow me to used the Bluetooth connectivity. The HDMI side of things worked great from mirroring my phone's display, video playback through virtually any app, etc. The volume on said video was lower than connecting without the adapter though. Hopefully Apple will address this with future upgrade to the adapter or whatever. This is slightly disappointing as I paid for a variety of extra cables/adapters so that my 6000NEX would have maximum functionality and since iPhone connectivity/integration was my primary consideration when purchasing a new head unit.- Answered by Adrian O from Lawton

Answer
Yes... but it doesn't seem to work well. I bought it for this purpose and it will only use a portion of the screen, and responds strangely to changing the orientation of the screen. Everything else seems to work fine so I don't think it's a problem with the HDMI adapter, this feature just seems to be restricted.

AnswerOf coarse it will, it will connect to anything with a lightning port. All the adapter is doing is mirroring the screen of your iPhone, iPad Pro, iPad or iPod Touch with you TV.

AnswerThe first time I tried doing this hookup, nothing showed on my TV. I simply unplugged the HDMI cable from this adapter, then plugged it back in and BOOM, it worked just fine. Make sure that both your TV and iPad are "on".
