Power Supply To Lightning Av Unit

[telboy1938]

Just purchased a lightning av adaptor in order to view my iPad data on my tv
but I assumed the supply charger I use for charging my iPhone or iPad
would be the charger to use as the 5v 2amp charger for the lightning av unit
Unfortunately it will not fit......any ideas if I need another type of cable? or do I exert more pressure to the iPhone/ iPad charger cable? Thanks

I'm assuming that this is what you have bought

You don't need to power it - the power sockect is there so that you can charge the ipad and use the adapter at the same time.

Some apps will not make use of the adapter - eg. Sky Sports app will display the Sky logo on tv and a message about outputing to tv is not possible.
