iPhone connectivity on CX in J

[v8Statesman]

I notice you need a iPhone dock to round DIN cable to use your phone on the CX system. Do they supply it, or do you need to purchase one before flying?

I bought my own:

Apple Composite AV Cable - Apple Store (U.S.)

I also now use it in Hotels as well

A great investment - especially if you have lots of video on your device.

Cheers Simon. You would think CX would make it more clear. I read everywhere on their website last night and couldn't any info. Granted I had a few Bourbons in me

It worked really well - great to be able to use their big screen and not have my iPad in the way of the food tray. This was the latest new CX J though.

I'm going HKG-SFO. Is new J on that route?

Dislike. Looks like there is none on the SFO route. (all 744 AFAIK)

Are you sure that is the right one. Does it have the din connector to?

Is it the same as

Griffin eXport In-Flight Video Cable for iPod and iPhone - Apple Store (U.S.)

It does not have a DIN connector - just the standard red/white/yellow you have in a standard AV cable (back from the old days before HDMI and Component cables). The new Biz class has both composite (R/W/Y) and S Video (DIN) connections.

I like the composite cable as you can then plug in the USB as well to provide power to the iDevice.
