An iPhone car charger will not charge an iPad. The iPhone chargers are rated at a 5 watt output. AniPad needs 10 watts to charge.

It will give that message but if you turn the iPad off (it won't charge if it is working) and give it about 8 hours it will charge despite that message.

You'd be far better off investing in a car charger designed for the iPad and you can also use it with your iPhone.

That's what I did. Bought a Griffin iPad car charger. One model has two USB ports, one for iPad and one for iPhone or iPod.
