Av Mirrorlink Devices - Mirroring Your Phone Screen On Your V Console

Yes Tony, but just had a look at my new crossover. It has the AV ports in the center compartment and there is a 12V power socket  there too. So I guess just need to find a way to connect the power and I will be OK.

Same as mine, as expected. Either solution will work for you. The key is to keep it neat, use heatshrink wherever soldering is required and be sure to properly tie off any excess cabling to prevent any unwanted vibrations against the interior components. If you also cop the nasty scrolling feint lines across the screen because of ground loops, be sure to use an isolation transformer (75 ohm impedance).

This thread needs an update after yesterday's discovery.

I had my Samsung Note 4 repaired and this meant the OS was updated from the old v4.4.4 (KitKat) to v6.0.1 (Marshmallow). Sadly, it seems my recommended box will connect to the IP address but will not receive the RTSP video stream. Pain in the arse.

So, I've made contact with the manufacturer in China and asked about a firmware update. I'm not holding my breath. Some are suggesting it only supports up to v5.0 but they could be old listings. I will report back with the answer I get from China and any results if there is a firmware update that I can perform on the unit.

In which case, the only other option might be to install an MHL cable that breaks out the microUSB to the respective RCA plugs and USB A connector for simultaneously charging the phone. I was hoping to stick with a wireless solution but this may be the final nail in the coffin. Let's see. I've ordered the cable from China as a backup measure before Christmas, as I will be doing a bit of driving out of town for the holidays. While the voice guidance from an open source app in the Google Play store seems to work well for my audio setup (via the Bluetooth-connected phone audio, rather than media audio), it's still nice to have a visual guide to glance at every now and then.
