I'm using the Griffin Survivor case and the case opening isn't wide enough for the HDMI connection kit. Tried a dock extender, but it didn't work. Does anyone know of an extender that is compatible? Thanks guys,

Doesn't really help me much, but thanks anyway. I need to hook up to random TV's for presentations and whatnot...so I won't always have access to apple TV. Tis feature does require Apple TV correct?

I hope not because I would love to play games on bigger screen.

Try either of these:

At Amazon: Amazon.com: RadTech 13-860 ProCable Shortz Dock Extender for iPhone, iPod and iPad - Black: Electronics

-or-

At SendStation: SendStation - Products - Dock Extender

Please note that I've tried neither of these. This is just what I found with a Google search. While the one from Amazon has some positive reviews, again, note that I've no opinion. Oh, and there's more if you do a Google search for "dock extender."

Good luck.

Were you ever able to find anything?

I'm struggling with the same issue. WE're trying to use an iPad inside an enclosure for a trade-show booth, with HDMI video running to an LCD screen above for others to watch. The enclosure is not big enough to house the HDMI AV adapter. Ideally I wanted to run a 30-pin extender from the iPad, and use the AV adapter at the end of the extension, HOWEVER, this does not work. Someone mentioned that the apple HDMI adapter has a DRM chip inside.

I'm wondering if an aftermarket AV adapter would solve this issue, and allow me to use a 30-pin extender between the adapter and the iPad.

Anyone have any input they can provide? Or does anyone have a non-Apple AV adapter that they could try this?

Thanks in advance for any help!
