Im working on finding a way to keep the iPad charged. I have USB on my deck, but it won't charge at all (will charge and accept audio from my iPhone via USB, but won't charge the iPad)... And I have a couple of USB chargers, including the one I installed in the dash myself, it shows that its charging, but i suspect its like an iPhone charger. While using the iPad for audio/Nav, it will still drain the battery, even though its showing green for charging, it just discharges much slower than if it wasn't plugged in at all.
I wish I could just plug it into the deck via USB like the phone, but I can get over that. I just would like to find a way to keep it charged, without having to wire up a power inverter, to plug in the stock apple wall brick charger, (seems inefficient, to go from DC, to AC, back to DC again, and not great for the components involved)
