Is it possible to broadcast off your iPhone to your Television and watch movies, sports, etc. ? I can do it on my home television but it is a smart TV. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

I bought a cable that connects my Android smartphone to the HDMI input on the TV. Works great...just make sure that you get one that also allows simultaneous charging. ------------- 2020.5 R-Pod 195 Hood River 2018 RAM 2500 6.4L |

We use an I Phone and a special cable to connect to our tv in the Pod.it works great. The cable is a "Apple Lightning Digital AB Adapter-Lightning to HDMI Adapter" from WalMart. here is the link https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-Lightning-Digital-AV-Adapter-Lightning-to-HDMI-adapter-HDMI-Lightning/44705398?athcpid=44705398&athpgid=athenaItemPage&athcgid=null&athznid=PWVUB&athieid=v0&athstid=CS055&athguid=da69943a-007-1787ff06ab15e2&athancid=null&athena=true Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">

You wont be able to stream to that tv, you will need an hdmi cable and a lightning to hdmi adapter as suggested by PodPeople. Or I guess you could connect an apple tv or roku to the tv and stream to that via a wifi router. But the rpod is small enough that the hdmi cable works well, that's what I use too. ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

I have that adapter but lost the power cord. It is the old version and worked on my TVs at the house. It was not the power cord that came with the iPhone. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

Are you sure you don't mean you lost the hdmi cable? The adapter I have has a lightning connector for the iPhone on one end and another lightning port and an hdmi port on the other.
That way you can charge the phone using the standard iphone lightning cable while sending video to the tv, but you only need the adapter and an hdmi cable for it to work (till the phone battery dies). ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

No. I had/HDMI cables. The instructions state to plug it up. Flash to iPhone and HDMI to TV. The old one had a power cable. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

Yep, it's Basically just a little splitter. Apple makes a ridiculous amount of money on this stuff. $40 plus for Apple's, $14 for chinese copy, but Apple works hard to keep those from working. Might try buying the cheap one on the 'Zon and returning it if it doesn't work. ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |
