BF - B777 - Seat question
I am flying to HGK in BF next week. I wanted to connect my Ipad to the TV to watch my own programing.
1. Is this an option?
2. What cord do I need to have to do this?

There's some $40 cable that you can buy from Amazon that will allow you to connect. They may have one on board for sale, but I wouldn't risk getting that one.

The cord says it only works with iphone and ipod but not Ipads (specifically an Ipad 2). Do you know if this is still the case?

At least that's the explanation I remember from a previous thread a while back.

Can't you just plug it in the with the provided cable? whats the product on Amazon? I thought you could also get a USB device pre-loaded with content.

Or they won't have it in stock or the FA doesn't know where on the cart it is or you have to wait 2-3 hours into the flight until they open the cart for purchases and you can flag down an FA to make the purchase. Plus, I'm not sure how they handle returns on duty-free stuff.

I am failry positive these cables will not work with iPads, only older-generation iPhones (3GS or earlier) and iPods.
