Questions & Answers for Apple Composite AV Cable

The Composite AV has 3 connections to your TV - the combined video signal and audio left and right. The Component AV cable has 3 connectors for video (separated into Red, Blue and Green signals to produce a better picture) and the left and right audio connectors.

Most older TVs that have AV inputs will have a set of composite inputs as will as some HDTVs, but typically only HDTVs have the Component inputs. Check your TVs inputs to see what you need. If the input on the TV has only 3 connectors (yellow, white and red) it is composite and if there are 5 connectors in the input grouping together you need the component cable.

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.

After testing different Itouches, I found that 3rd generation doesn't work only audio is heard. With 4th gen audio and video works. Tech at the store said that it should work. Anybody have any ideas.

I'm not sure about all that will work, but I can report that the Verizon FIOS mobile application coupled with the Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter will not permit streaming home DVR recordings (using the new Verizon FIOS Mobile application) from an iPad to a television. A message appears when this is tried that it will allow streaming Live TV and On Demand but not streaming from "your media server" (Verizon talk for its FIOS DVR system). Clearly this is a legal restriction, not a technical problem and Apple and Verizon have agreed to include circuitry/software which restricts this use. Its disappointing as I had hoped that my very expensive Verizon FIOS Quantum subscription together with the Apple $50 adapter would permit me to view my recordings while vacationing for a month in Florida. Sometimes you don't get what you pay for, unfortunately.

Not through this cable, I agree with the previous person, unless you purchase the HDMI cable, that works, but this cable does not show video if you have updated to IOS 6
