Magic; indispensable for presenters
By Toolmaker on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2016
This is amazing. When giving presentations at companies or teaching a class, I used to carry my computer, the brick, and a hand wand for my Powerpoint presentations with backup Excel sheets. For my classes and presentations they have the projection equipment, but some of it is old and doesn't take a HDMI port, so I had to pack adapters for my computer too. With this little guy I take my iPad. Period. That's a 10-12 pound difference. I can do a 4 hour presentation on the battery life of the iPad with no worries. I tap the screen to progress the page, and if I have to cut to a Word doc or Excel sheet, no problems there either. Word, Excel and Powerpoint are free apps for the iPad. Maintaining a professional look is so much easier when the briefcase doesn't weigh 20 lbs. Setup difference is huge. No power cord stretching from the side wall to trip over in classrooms. No fussing with propping the computer on a podium that's already filled with microphones and power strips (they always are). I just plug into the projector's VGA cord, tap my Powerpoint icon and away I go. The audience oohs and aaaahs. They have never seen this take less than five minutes. Did I mention I speak on process improvement and using today's technology to hire contractors? Yep, that's my topic. And from the first moment I have their enthralled attention.

Apple Lightning to VGA Adapter sucks with Pioneer AppRadio
By D. Poynter on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2014
AppRadio is a mess that you should stay far far away from. First- to use AppRadio you need the $50 VGA-Lightning-Adapter and the cables to plug into it (my stereo[Avh-3600bhs] uses CD-IV203 ). Second- for convenience you need a female lightning to male lightning straight though cord to extend the dongle to your dashboard. That cost me $127. Okay- sounds expensive- but wait.... ...Once you buy everything- You'll notice that AppRadio requires you to use Bluetooth-audio-to-stereo. That's because the Vga-lightning-adapter DOES NOT transmit DATA or AUDIO to the stereo; Only video goes to the stereo. You're phone only gets charged and does not end up sending audio or meta-data to the stereo. So- from now on: Pandora on your stereo has NO ALBUM ART and metadata such as track name is passed though bluetooth (takes 5 seconds or so) to show on the stereo. Also- thumbs up and next-a-song takes several seconds to register. But even all this can be overlooked... ...But then you notice AppRadio crashes, AppRadio lags, AppRadio doesn't even work hardly at all if Pandora or bluetooth-audio- is playing in the background. On the phone side- "AppRadio iphone app" must be actively open on the phone. You can't use it in the background; doing so only crashes everything for 45-60 seconds. So you start to think everything might be okay with AppRadio if you don't touch it while its working and leave it for the long trip....Well it isn't. Because the apps for AppRadio have adds/popups. And those adds/popups don't actually display correctly on the Pioneer stereo because the viewing size is slightly off. So eventually- you will be driving along and a popup will make your entire stereo frozen- that you can't click on the popup because its "not the active" screen and AppRadio is a buggy. Lastly- just keep in mind- that all those potential clicks you make in AppRadio- are communicating though Bluetooth so each one takes a couple seconds to register. If you intend to use this for the Pioneer AppRadio just know that data and audio will not go though the adapter. You'll be using Bluetooth for those functions.
