Question About Radio Decks

Mr&Mrs · 09-16-2012, 03:54 PM

Will radio decks that are compatible with ipods/ipads charge the ipad while it is plugged in? If so which ones will/will not charge an ipad.

My laptops will not charge the ipad so I fear the car deck will not be able to either.

Im asking because im looking into a way to mount it permanently in the car but I do not want to have to unplug it from the deck to a charger and vise versa.

Thanks!

just add a A2dp to your device and splice a car charger adaptor and hard wire it to power and ground, no need for a head unit for power supply.

Thanks guys, I done a little further research after posting and found a couple write ups. Now I just need to find the right tablet for me, and I will not even need a deck in the car.
