So I'm in a bind here. I'm installing(95% done) an iPad Mini (2) into my dash to replace my headunit.
I planned on running a small headunit with Bluetooth in my glovebox or hidden somewhere just basically so I could still have FM if I wanted to. Plus I can't get a 3.5mm aux cable into the dash kit I used.
I had to epoxy the lightning cable in place which is how the iPad gets held in the kit. I also did all the Bondo and whatnot over where the cable comes through, meaning the cable will never come out unless I destroy the kit and the Bondo work I've done.
So all was well until I remembered the Bluetooth lag when watching videos. It's driving me up a wall.
I'm stuck with the lightning to male USB cable. Is there any way to get audio from that and charge? Like a DAC to rca output or something? I need to get audio out basically in RCA form or 3.5mm cable form. I also need to charge it as this is how the iPad will turn on/off with my key.
