Video out from iPhone?

[Mac Migs]

It seems to me that something may be amiss in Apple's shipping network. My order was acknowledged right away still indicating that cable could take up to two weeks to arrive. The next morning (yesterday) I got an e-mail saying that the two items were being shipped separately. When I clicked on the "order status" link in the e-mail, it showed I had no orders in the pipeline. The cable arrived today as I noted, but the other item did not. While the Apple Store continues to show no order, the FedEx tracking system shows the second item having been picked up in Bloomingdale, CA due to arrive on the 13th!?

All of which is to say, I'd suggest you call Apple's 800 # and see what's up. Good luck. It's stil worth the wait...

Thanks for sharing the info regarding your order/shipping experience. I haven't received and emails for FedEx tracking yet. Any my order status shows not shipped yet either. I'm hoping any day now. If I don't get any kind of email by this coming Friday, I'll call the Apple 800 #.

Let us know when you get your universal dock. I ordered one also and I'm curious to hear some feedback as to how well all 3 items work together... iPhone, AV cable, and universal dock.

I didn't need to order the dock. I already had one for my iPod and a slightly modified one came with the iPhone (it has those little speaker "vents" on either side of the plug that the other doesn't). The video cable is comprised of L and R audio, component video and a USB plug for power/charging. The package also includes a USB/AC wall plug.

My problem is how to use the USB part of the cable in the car -- there's a DC port right next to the aux jacks. Surely someone has thought of this...

If I'm understanding right, you have a problem plugging your USB part in the car for power? If this is true, Apple has a car charger that takes the USB part. I purchased it and it works great.

Excellent! Don't know how I missed that. I'll see if they have one in stock at local store. Thanks!

Apple order status....

Well I just checked my order status for my Apple AV composite able and universal dock on the Apple Store site a little while ago. It now says "Prepared for shipment". I noticed the status on the product page for the AV cables and dock has now changed to "Ships: Within 24 hours". Hopefully I'll get my cable and dock this coming week sometime.

Very good. Sounds like they're back on track.

Well I finally got the automated email(s) from Apple, notifying me that my items have been shipped, and of course the FedEx tracking #'s. Kinda strange though... I ordered both my AV composite cable and my universal dock at the same time on the same order, but they shipped them as 2 separate shipments. They're both coming from China. They both should be delivered by this coming Wednesday, more likely Tuesday. I'll keep you guys posted...

Did you get it yet?

Works Great! I got the composite cable.

There are a bunch of plugs to manage - 2 sound, 1 video, power, iPhone, but it does what it's supposed to.

Yup...! Got my composite cable and universal dock yesterday. The cable works great. I shouldn't have gotten the dock though, very limited remote capabilities with the iPhone... oh well. I was glad to see that the cable lets you view your photos on the iPhone as well when hooked up to a tv.
