Do I have to purchase a lightning connector for my mini iPad to work with this? Help this senior citizen, please?

Thank you - you'd think this would be part of the description, wouldn't you?

The Sony RDPXF300IPN will connect with both the iPad Mini and the iPad Mini 2 directly. No adaptor is needed.

It needs an iPod or iPhone with the older style dock connector, not the smaller lightning connector. So, no is the answer unless you use some sort of adapter.

Hi Manson, If you are connecting this with the iPad Air, then you would need a Lightning Digital AV Adapter to connect it (not included in the product).

Yes, you need the 30 Pin to Lightning adapter. It works great. I have an iPhone 5.

From what I understand it is. If you have a Bad Eld with a 30 pin connector you can purchase a 30 pin to Lightning connector from Apple Store or other vendors. Apple is best source since you have assurance it will work with no problem.

You absolutely need the lightning connector for iPad Air. And be careful about these card readers. I was only able to use one of my cards to download photos to my iPad2. The other brands would not work. All of the card readers were the same card type, just different manufacturers.

My 1st gen iPad mini worked with it using a 30pin to lightning cable. Haven't tried my iPad mini retina with it yet but I think it would work too.

Will not work with new small connector on newest iPads and iPhones without Apple supported adapter. Need IOS 5.0 or later as well.

It's a 30 pin connector, not a lightning connector so if your mini has a lightning connector it will not work. Frankly, this cable didn't work at all for me...

No. The ipad mini has a different connector. It is called a lightning connector. This is a thunderbolt (mini-dvi) connector.

If it is the lightning adaptor you are inquiring about the answer is no. You will have to buy one from Apple. Still works great with the adaptor.

Regular ipad will, or even ipod, iPhone, has "older" 30 pun connector, though, not lightning base. Can use audio jack to hook up other devices as well, Android, etc...

It needs an adaptor to use with the lightning connection - 4th gen iPad and iPhone 5..

No, it's not the lightning connector. You can get a old style connect to lightning connector from Apple that should work.

If your ipad uses the larger connector, and not the new " lightning" connector, it will work. We have a 2nd generation ipad that works just fine, but not the iPad Air or mini.
