AmazonBasics Composite AV Cable for Apple iPhone iPad and iPod 6.5 Feet / 2 m Black

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value for money, 10 Jan 2013

This review is from: AmazonBasics Composite AV Cable for Apple iPhone iPad and iPod 6.5 Feet / 2 m Black (Electronics)

What it did for me:
1. Plays photos in a slideshow
2. Plays home videos
3. Plays Youtube videos PROVIDING IT IS NOT USING THE YOUTUBE APP. You have to use the [...] mobile site.
4. Plays any video from any website, ie news sites, etc
5. Does play BBC iplayer and ITV Player, but not the other channels

Things of note:
1. Does not mirror the screen
2. Does not play songs from the iPod bit of the iPhone

All in all, not flawless, but definitely worth it. I doubt the official Apple could do much better.

does not show the picture... only sound so no good! paid for extra to arrive in 2 days, arrived in 6... not impressed that even despite not paying taxes amazon's delivery is poor and 'basics' basically don't work.

Why pay more to connect your IPod to your TV. This product does exactly what it says on the tin.

Despite the description, this does not work with an iPod Classic. Apparently, it is necessary to purchase a Composite AV cable from Apple as the iPod Classic and other newer Apple products contain a special chip to enable them to be used with a TV. Surely this should have been made clear!

Simple idea: transfer your iPhone/iPad screen onto your TV

Effective: it works as you would expect. Low resolution stuff on your iPhone, which looks okay due to the small screen, will look pretty poor on your tv. High resolution stuff on your iPhone will look great on your tv.

Loads of good reasons to own one of these, my favourite being spectator gaming.

Five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can watch TV from my iPad, 1 Nov 2012

Brilliant quality cable very robust and well made. I suspect better than Apple's, if my other Apple leads are anything to go by. Longer length than most too. Can watch all the UK TV iPlayers [ and many other streams off individual apps and web sites ] straight off my iPad [ first edition ] and charge it at the same time. Very good value for money. Thanks AmazonBasics!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)

The cable works fine, and is about half the price of the Apple one so it's a no-brainer if you want to output content from your iPod to a TV. There are two points to bear in mind though: the cable is only 2m long, so you won't be able to have your iPod on the couch for example (unless you're in a small room!). The other limitation is that this is of course a composite cable, and only capable of outputting standard definition content. This is fine on an iPod classic, which you wouldn't keep HD versions of content on anyway (bit of a waste of space on a 320x240 screen) but though the cable will work with an iPad (though not the iPhone 5 which uses the new 'Lightning' connector) it is incapable of outputting the HD content you're likely to have on there to get the full benefit of the Retina screen. So what you'll watch on your TV is high definition content downscaled by your iPad into standard definition, and this downgraded version then upscaled by your TV. In otber words not very good at all - but that's what the component video cable is for.

I ordered my first Amazon Basics item with some reservations, considering the official Apple equivalent was almost three times the price, but I needn't have worried, the cable does exactly what it says, the cable quality is very good, so the picture quality on our TV screen is fantastic!

Great for looking at photos from my iPhone or iPad, perfect for my wife to watch the soaps via iPlayer on the big screen, works with YouTube and ITV Player as well!

Really, really pleased with this item! Highly recommended!

Well, I was impressed by all the techie talk abt this innocous looking cable and at same time feel like a left out idiot from world of technology, but I do own an iphone, ipad and a upgraded tv as well, so I plugged the cables where they should go and it was simple straight forward, yes picture and movie and song played along nicely but within day or two novelty wore off and I back watching serials and news and movies on my TV. I cant even remember where this cable is ,iPhone happily in meantime keeps me mobile.

This is a very useful bit of kit, and well worth the money, even if it only did one thing ...

For me, the ability to use Keynote to run a presentation off my iPad is worth the asking price alone. The fact that I can play video, access iPhotos and YouTube are all bonuses.

I managed to get into iPlayer, and ITV on demand ... Channel 4 does not support TV playback, and Channel 5 would only play audio.

As long as you check what programs and Apps support TV Out, then this is a good value bit of kit ... well made too.
