Hmm, a quick search and it seems like a digital AV to HDMI converter, and then an HDMI to RCA connector would then work similarly. Image quality probably suffers I'd think.


Amazon $30 Amazon $30


Amazon $5. Amazon $5.

Anyone try this?

This is all you need: Mini HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter
Amazon Amazon




probably need an adapter for MiniHDMI to HDMI depends on what cables you have at home.

If you want a short 1.5ft RCA cable, you can pick this up http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_i...seq=1&format=2

What phone? I know that most Android phones have MHL to HDMI feature. You can mirror your screen. So anything on your phone will show up on the touch screen.

BUT obviously the touch functions wont work on the Ford Screen. You'll still have to control everything using your phone.

This is a cool topic and something that is growing significantly in interest. We carry a device that will do all this for you and will also allow you to use Airplay or Google Mirracast - that's right... NO CABLES! Stream anything from your Android or iPhone to your navigation screen or rear entertainment wirelessly.

If you have a Lockpick this gets even better because this device will connect into one of the video inputs on the Lockpick allowing direct integration with your navigation screen, even while moving!! The device you need is called a WVI WiFI Integration Module and we sell them here:

https://camera-source.com/products/v...%20integration

Essentially this will mirror your smart phone screen to your navigation or rear seat monitor if equipped.

We also carry just the HDMI to composite conversion cables. To see all our vehicle integration kits please check out this link:

https://camera-source.com/products/a...%20integration

Sorry cannot do coupon codes with these as we are bound to MAP pricing. However, we can bundle price with a lockpick or a camera if you are interested in saving some cash on the entire package. Simply select your desired lockpick from the dropdown on the WVI page.

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions!

What year is your truck? My cable inputs are inside the center console. I see yours are on the Screen panel.

If you want wireless then you can use Chromecast and mirror your Android Screen that way.

The Quality is awesome, the Text is clear and readable.
Would this be able to work for an iPhone? Also could you show pictures of how you set this up? With everything connected. Thank you.
