Does iPhone need AV?

If u want to display your movie & photo from your iphone to TV/LCD TV...

u said they claim... u got da cable n can confirm if it works?

I haven got the cable yet.. Just proceed with the payment only... Worth trying.. as it only cost that much..Will let you guys know once i got it..

if may work on 2.2.1 however when there's a firmware update it might not work anymore unless u dun plan to upgrade then its definately worth it

Yes i am aware...just put a bate on it...Just like a mouse & cat games.. Maybe the mouse is ahead where new firmware in future it will work..(hopefully)..The ori one too expensive with about RM400 for the cable..

Hi Guys,
I had got the cable.. Cool man... Just plug & play, very stable & the output quality is GREAT !!
My iphone3G Firmware 2.2.1

hey sugen, did you buy the component or composite video cable? I looked at the ebay store and only found composite versions, not component. Some ebayers were advertising component cables when they were clearly composite from the pictures.

component = 5 RCA connectors for 720p HD output
composite = 3 RCA connectors for 480i output

TIA

i recently got mine from Singapore IT Fair, S$20 = RM46

Work Perfect on Photos and Videos! (without ScreenSplitr)

"ScreenSplitr" from Cydia work as well, but the quality is not that Good,
because ScreenSplitr only display 10 to 12 frame per second and the colour is not as high as the oringinal media.

So, Don't aspect to play your iphone's games on BIG screen TV, is always one or two seconds delay.

Hope for next update on ScreenSplitr, better Frame Rate and Colours.

Sorry.. wrong infor.. It is composite cable.. 3 cables.. 1 video & 2 audio

Added on March 25, 2009, 9:37 amYes..your cable are the same with mine..Great man! Did you try TVoutput from Cydia too? Will try tonight on both Tvoutput & ScreenSplit.. No way to deny that photo & Video output work perfect in terms of quality & sound on this cable..

just wanna ask people here about experience using the AV cable for iphone. What type / brand that you use? What the price? and do u have any suggestion/recommended av cable for me? I would like to buy one, but not sure whether to buy original or just local one

@xyfix
I am using the CHN cap parang brand.. As it is really cheap... The quality is great on both sound/visual.. The Con side is it might or might not work for new firmware release.. Unless you get an ori one.. To me it is too expensive for the ori cable..

Where to buy this cable? I don't mind to use any cap as long as affordable and can be use without any problem.

Bro, i am buying this through ebay.. Pls refer to the link in my first post..Shipped from CHN & It took 8 working days to arrive..

My Opinion..........

Get the oringinal if you can afford. WHY?

because Apple Store online, is now selling RM199 (used to be RM219),
and don't forget the package is including 1 unit of Apple USB Power Adapter Which already cost you RM119, so the cable actually only cost you RM80.

i know, ..... you don't need a extra USB Power Adapter, well....
find some of your friends who are using ipod nano, and sell it to them, because as far as i know, ipod nano did not come with the USB Power Adapter.

And iphone OS 3 is coming, most of the 3rd Party Cable will not works after Firmware updates.

So, for long terms use, get the oringinal cables.

Is there any way for Apple Component AV Cable to connect with a normal TV - which is only have 3 port (2 audio + 1 video port). What type of converter do we need?

componet or composit? every TV have composit for sure... The cable u are seeing here is composit..not component..

Err i got 5 cables, 3 for video and 2 for audio. Is there any converter for this cable to use with just 3 port tv. I bought the wrong one i think

Ic.. if 5 cables then it is component....not sure got this kind of converter..If u are from PG, then u can go to THAI HUAT hardware shop to ask around.. BTW, how much u bough your cable? Ori 1 ?

Hai, xyfix

Where do you get it from? if you get from those authorised reseller, maybe you can go back and exchange it.

if not, i think you might need something like this;




additional informations just like to share with you.

aiya.. ori 1.. i might selling this item and changes to composite. any1 interested? huhuh

I'm thinking of getting a tv-output set for my iphone from Machines.
But honestly RM199 isn't cheap so has anyone here bought it and satisfied with the quality?
Common sense told me that the quality might be bad. (Even the sales person from the shop said the quality might drop, so what's the point of even output to tv? lol.)
Unless it's good... Can you list out the format and resolution I need to compress for shows to appear good on a standard PAL tv?

i'm getting the cable so I can use any projector with my iPhone ... most handphone / media player *cannot* directly plug in to projector...

Cool stuff. Anywhere in Malaysia sells this stuff?

I've been looking around to use this cable in my car. If you guys have not seen it, it's a dock cable at one end and has a composite + usb at the other end. When plugged, you can play music (or video if your car has a lcd monitor) and charge the phone at the same time. Composite will go into the HU's (head unit) auxiliary in jack and the USB will be plugged to your car's power outlet (require another USB adapter to do this)

It's similar to the Apple Composite AV Cable but i'm not gonna pay rm199 for that. i found one selling on Amazon for around 10usd but after shipping, i'll come out to about rm90. i don't want to spend so much for that cable and i believe that i can find it around PJ/KL.

If any of you guys have seen it or bought it, maybe you can share where you bought or also provide feedback of the usage. Thanks

Disclaimer: Tried searching the forum and found no threads about this cable. therefore i had to open a new one.

I still have it with me. But, it is not working with latest firmware.. If u are running on firmware 2.21.. Then, it works perfectly...

i'm running on v3.0.1 now... bummer!

what about the audio? does it work?

So get yourself a ori one... that is my opinion..

I finally setup my in-car audio for my iPhone.

Looked around LYN but didn't manage to find any compatible cable (av + usb) for my iPhone. Got it from fellow LYN member crxr instead. Quite a nice chap and we spent a good 1 hour chatting. He was telling me his stories about the iPhones that he serviced. Link to the post below.

With that cable, there are some set back. You won't be able to play video (the yellow composite) using this cable. This is because the chip that they used is not by Apple so the encoding changes each time when you do a firmware update. Doesn't matter to me as i primarily need it to play music in my car. Be sure to test the cable out with your phone before buying because some of the cables that I've tried, my iPhone will not allow charging.

So the setup is as follow:
1. HP car holder to hold your iPhone while driving
2. Cap Ayam brand Composite AV cable + USB to plug into your iPhone (plays music & charges the phone at the same time)
3. AV RCA cable to phono jack to plug the cable into your car head unit's Aux In port. You will need a RCA coupler to connect #2 to #3.
4. A USB adapter to plug the USB for power. The adapter is plugged to your car's power socket.
5. A head unit with an Aux-in jack

Pros:
1. Plays music & charges the phone while driving
2. Select your music using cover flow
3. Use genius feature in your iPhone/iPod

Cons:
1. Cap Ayam brand cannot play video. It'll play at times but will stop halfway
2. iPhone will complain that you're not using a compatible accessories

Hope this helps. Will try to upload photos when I have time.

Great try out.. i have a question.. Your AV+ USB cable that purchased is it the same like u posted after? It has 3 cables.. 2 for Audio & the yellow 1 is VIDEO right? If so, then how u plug the 2 Audio into the head unit AUX jack? Do u mean that is a RCA coupler 2 into 1?
