Will this cable work with my red/white car stereo plugs?
I have a new car with red and white plugs instead of the usb which I would have preferred. I am trying to find the best quality audio plugs to go from my iPod 5th generation to the red and whites.
Does a dock connector to the rca's produce better sound quality than one from the headphone jack? Will the available products on the market also charge my iPod at the same time?
Thank you for any help, most appreciated.- Asked by Liesl R from Bexley

Best Answer:Yes, a RCA line out from the dock connector is many times better than just using the headphone socket. You should be able to notice a difference, especially if you have good speakers and a good ear for music.

Best Answer:
The digital AV adapter is HDMI and includes a higher definition video output that the composite (RCA Jacks -Yellow, Red, White) which is analog video (yellow). I don't know if the audio signal is better in the HDMI vs the RCA (Red/White) - it depends on what the iPad sends.

Answer
I thought it would, but with my iPhone 3GS I only get output playing a video. Not with Keynote, despite all documentation suggesting it would work together.

AnswerThe Apple TV has it's own HDMI output to connect to a TV with HDMI or DVI inputs... It doesn't use the same connection as an iPod, iPhone or iPad.

I have a new Toyota AyGo which has a MirrorLink display. I'm told you need to use the Appincar. Where do I get the special cable?
I have an iPhone 5s so it must work with the lightning connector. I think the cable connects the phone to both the USB and aux in sockets.
I have the Appincar app but I need the cable as wellBest Answer:Unfortunately, MirrorLink is only compatible with the Iphone 4 and 4S.
Trying to get it working with anything newer, is just going to leave you with hours of frustration.
Best option is to email Pioneer and Toyota to complain. -
what is the difference between vga adapter and digital av adapter
- Asked by Pedro N from Duncanville

- Flag as inappropriate (what is the difference between vga adapter and digital av adapter)
Best Answer:It all depends what you want to connect your apple device to. Look at the connector ends of each cable and figure out if you have something that will match the plug.
The apple vga adapter goes from the ipad/iphone type "apple" connector to a VGA connection - the kind you would have to connect to a computer monitor. (Some people who travel to do speeches need this to display their presentation on a big presentation screen)
The apple digital av adapter has one end that connects to your apple device and the other end connects to an HDMI cable to attach to an HDMI TV. If you dont have an HDMI connection on your tv, it won't work. You also need an HDMI cable that you can get at any TV/electronics store (best buy, radio shack etc)
Apple also sells component and composite cables for ipod/iphone connections AND they sell similar cables that will connect your tv to a firewire or dvi port on a laptop.
Look at the device you want to connect with (your tv?) first and find out what kind of connections it has. Then you will know what connector AND what cable to buy.
If you have a compatible ipod or iphone with the apple connector and you have an HDMI cable to connect to your HDMI TV, buy the apple digital av adapter.- Answered by Libby G from Redlands

AnswerPerhaps on a later update, fingers crossed. as of 5.1.1 i have tested and it (Composite AV cable) does not output Skype video.
Most native iOS apps like photos, video and youtube work very well. photos need to be in slideshow mode.- Answered by Karthik S from Mountain View
