As i have mounted the iPad on the dash I need to charge it, plugged the apple cable into the factory USB and it won't, it will charge my phone though but not te pad, have to use a cigarette lighter type charger to charge the iPad, any thoughts as to why no charging with the factory USB??!

You can get one of these http://www.baintech.com.au/baintech/baintech-single-usb-socket-surface-mount
there is also a double USB which would be better in my opinion. When powering the iPad you only use one of the two USB ports_______________________________________

Yep same problem here, you need a specific iPad cigarette charger 10 watts, most places sell them I purchased this one http://store.apple.com/us/product/H2...de=MTc0MjU4NjA and it works well, nice low profile.PradoPoint GTG 2014 - Iconic High Country - Victoria

Unfortunately I had something in the cig plug already so was hoping to use the USB, looks like I will have to put the double adaptor back in.[b]Rob[/b]

We have run an extension cord from the 240 volt inverter in the back of the car under the rear draws, it comes out in front of the back seat in the middle on the floor and has 2 out let's on the end of it. We just plug our I phone / I pad / I pod / I pod touch / i what ever charger in or 2 and keep every thing charged on the go
When stopped we us a can verter in the car or camper .
