I did run the wires up to the CIC but am not using the media adaptor. Instead I am using the Y-cable via the USB.. From what I have read the iPhone 5 does not send video via the lightning cable... you won't be able to get video from the i5 to the CIC.. in my setup I am using iPhone 5 as 4G hotspot and have iphone 4 permanently mounted to the usb y-cable.. Watched the Rays beat the Redsox tonight while waiting to pick up my daughter from an event. Now that's technology at its finest!
