This is awesome.

I am planning to try this with my iPhone 5, since Apple recently released a HDMI out and VGA out adapter for the new lighting type connector.

Apple Store now has Lightning to HDMI and VGA adapters at $49 a pop, souped-up iPad charger

2 questions:

1. I've never tried mirroring or video out on any iPhone. I thought it natively mirrored when plugged in with HDMI or VGA. Does the phone need to be Jailbroken and a special app installed?
2. What is the phone dock you guys have in the pictures, the one that attaches to the right of the CD tray?

I now use the following bluetooth receiver/controller since I upgraded to the iPhone 5 (works great, but it does get a bit confused between the car's BT for calls vs going through the Belkin unit sometimes). I plan to continue using this for the audio side of things.

i have the same exact issue. very disappointed in the picture quality

 

I can't speak for the Iphone5, but the 4S needed the Display Out app made by Cydia, which can only be downloaded if the phone was jailbroken.

The phone holder in my screenshots is from Proclipusa. All-together, costs about $75 (if memory serves), but it is a fantastic holder. Both vehicle specific and phone specific, so it is sturdy and looks great!

As for the sound, I use a Blackberry Bluetooth Receiver (for A2DP), and only use the video rca from the converter box.

 

just ordered the same parts .. wish me luck

 

Will this work with OEM screen and allow me to control the phone from the screen? Sorry if it was mentioned already I didn't see the post.

 

No, what I described in this thread does not implement a touch screen overlay. You will have to control the screen via your phone.

 

Here's my system in action.....

Hi guys I'm trying to do this with my g37 I bought all the things in the list and connected everything in the car. I an using a Samsung galaxy s4 and am having issues. My phone is not recognizing the fact that it's plugged in and in not getting anything from the screen. I bought the updated module that doesn't need the extra power cable and it comes on when everything is plugged in, but I'm getting nothing. Please help I'm stuck?

 

If you replace the screen to OEM touch screen, Can you control the phone via the screen?

 

short answer: NO.

 

Has anyone done this with the Note3 or S5?

Is the screen still flickering?

 

I know this is an older thread but the above post is very valid ^. I do not see any reason for the setup to differ with an S5 but I am about to get a 2011 G37S and wonder if anyone has tackled this using the USB port or tapping into another video input on the OEM NAV screen in the dash.

I am toying around with the option of using my phone with the oem screen or putting in the 7" Pioneer touch screen / Nav HU from my last car...

Thanks for all the useful info this is a great thread.

 

Let's see if we can't figure this out. I have an S5, bought the MHL-to-HDMI cable and converter box, and hooked it all up.

First trial in the house: phone to converter box via MHL-to-HDMI cable and converter box to TV via RCA. As expected, the quality was reduced dramatically but I had both audio and video displayed on the TV. I noticed however that the MHL-to-HDMI cable got really hot when everything was plugged in.

Second trial in the car: phone to converter box via MHL-to-HDMI cable and converter box to car screen via RCA. The video came on but when I tried to play music, the music would come from my phone and not the car stereo system. NOTE: I use the 3.5mm plug to the audio RCA plugs with no problem

Third trial in the house: to ensure that I really heard audio through the TV, I went back to the house and did another test through the TV again. I verified that indeed audio was coming through the TV speakers but this time, the video would NOT display on the screen. All I got was a very bad distorted block of static.

It was late so I called it a night but at this point, I seriously have no idea what the problem could be. I will try again after work today in the car. I highly suspect that it's the converter box but am open to any suggestions anyone may have.

Below are some pictures that were taken for the trial run. Please let me know if you guys have any thoughts.

Thanks in advance.
