It turns out the treadmill actually wants to connect to my ipod and browse it, not just mirror video. I've read a few places that those adapters are fine for iTunes, but don't transmit video. Regardless, I'm out of luck. | |

There is very much a difference between the official adapters and the $7 knock-offs on Amazon; my cheap one I bought will NOT do video, and only does audio because it plugs into the headphone/mic port, it IS NOT sending the proper data through the Lightning port. That is why I specify that there could be a problem with a knock-off. | |

Also, eBay may be something else, but I doubt there's any difference between the $40 official adapter and the $7 one from a reputable seller on Amazon. In either case, I'm hoping for confirmation rather than speculation about what works. | |
