I have the iGrip in my car for the Thunderbolt and I have it mounted using my old Proclip mount for my iPhone and its working well, overall.
I had hoped to use it like I did my iPhone with a video out connected to my Pioneer Avic headunit, but of course an MHL Adapter connected to the dock only works with the power and has no video out (no HDMI is detected by the OS).
Anyone know of a Car Dock that may support this or any way to mod the iGrip???
how are you planning to get video out to your headunit. You planning to convert the signal to composite or something

More likely that you'd find something with HDMI in and AV out... Like this:

how would that even work? hdmi carries a digital signal, and vga and rca an analog one.

My guess is that some devices can repurpose the pins on their HDMI port to output component video or VGA instead.
I'm fairly certain our devices don't fit into this category.
im surprised ours can even fit hdmi into micro usb.
It's not a Micro USB port, it's an MHL port.
Sent from my Infuse 4G
oh i thought that was a brand. interesting. seems to have everything hdmi and usb. wonder why we bother with mini hdmi and pdmi.
Was anyone ever able to solve this?
My goal is to play the movies off of my Samsung Infuse in my Toyota Prius Plug In during long trips.
I found a company in Japan that sells a video in adapter for the Prius but its only a Composite RCA input (Yellow, Red, White).
That means I have to use the MHL adapter on my infuse, into an HDMI cable, into a video converter box, then composite rca's from the converter box to the Prius adapter.
or
MHL adapter connected to a HDMI/Composite RCA cable, then straight into the Prius adapter.
I dont know if this second option would work though. Do I need a converter to go from HDMI (digital) to composite (analog).
or
If I could actually use a micro usb to composite rca cable that would be ideal! A lot less parts but I bet this option would be the least likely to succeed.
Need help.
As the title says, is there a dock available for our phone that has aux out (read: a headphone jack so I can connect the dock to my sound system with an aux cable)? I've tried the ATT website, Ebay and googling. If not, is there a way to convert from micro USB to aux out? Thanks!!
Edit: I just remembered our phone has MHL, would this adapter work by connecting it to the dock and then to my sound system with an HDMI?

Hi,
I am looking for tablet to use in my car - I want it to be a multimedia device used for playing audio /or/+/ video (outputting it to rear-seat monitors as well), being ready for usb stick connection anytime and have dvb-t tuner connected 24/7.
Now after a long search I cannot really find a tablet that's around 7-8 inches, is powerful enough to handle full hd mkv's, and have mini hdmi along with double micro-usb otg, so I can have both usb stick and dvb-t tuner connected, and still have car charger attached to it, so I thought someone here may be able to help.
Anyone?
how about this tablet?

That won't work smoothly with 1080p high-bitrate video for sure
I gotta admit there's [probably] no high-end tablets with separate hdmi out currently on the market, I keep searching and searching and nothing comes up...
ntdm 3000 is a cheap chinese tablet which i use its great for 1080p on bs or mx player,.
idont know if its hdmi though.
Yeah, it doesn't.
The point it it does not need to be cheap - but there's none with hdmi out.
Found some of the tablets by "KURGER & MATZ" to have 2 micro usb ports but... they don't have both gps and bluetooth

Nexus 7 2012 has mhl (HDMI through USB port) and DVT tuner support and has car specific roms . Samsung tablets (8 inch and up) all have capability also . older 7 inchAcer a100 has HDMI and a500 10 inch. Nexus 7 2013 has slimport (newer HDMI through USB) capability. Slim port and mhl plug are only around 10- 30 $ nexus's and Samsung both have USB host and charging at the same time capability (need for DVT support) there is still active development on the old nexus its the one I'd go with. And its pretty easy to solder to the volume and power buttons so u can permently mount in your dash...
HDMI throught usb doesn't do the job for me.
I found only one tablet actually that fills my needs - Chineese PIPO T9.
One thing that sucks, is that it has 4.2.2 and they don't plan on any updates to kitkat.
Aside from that, it has everything needed.
http://www.pipo-store.com/pipo-t9-t...hone-call-tablets-gps-bluetooth-2gb-32gb.html
Separate charging port, mhl-host usb, hdmi, aux, octa-core.
Anyone has better ideas?
In case anyone googling the topic wants to know how I sorted it out in the end:
Bought PIPO M7T tablet (t9 turned out to not have separate hdmi out),
upgraded it with stock rom to 4.4.2.
32 GB MicroSD.
Full HD, even with very high bitrate plays smoothly there.
Has usb otg, hdmi, aux and dc connectors.
Got headphones out connected to aux in my car,
HDMI out heads to hdmi->av converted and goes to car av inputs.
A USB 2.0 4x hub is connected to micro usb, to which I have connected dvb-t tuner, hdmi->av converter power cord and any pendrives I want.
Tablet is constantly connected to external power using DC in.
Works superb, couldn't been better.
Hi all,
Recently I got myself the new Asus MemoPad 7 (ME572C), with the intention of using it as my car media system.
I've bought a microusb to usb & aux cable (sorry, cannot post link to cable) so I can hook up my tablet to my car's stereo while charging it.
The charging is fine but there is no audio coming out of the stereo. The tablet just uses the internal speakers. I've also tried connecting the tablet to an audio/speaker docking station of philips with the same results: charging is fine but no audio from the dock, just the internal speakers.
I've read I should change some accessory options in the settings menu. But there is no such option in my settings. I've checked all options but none mention anything about docking audio.
Anyone has a clue on if and how I can make my tablet connect to my docking station and make my cable work?

Don't understand what kind of cable you are trying to use, could you post a link or picture? The tablet may not support charging and audio out through the same port. Have you tried charging through the usb port on your tablet and connect an AUX cable to the headphone jack on your tablet?

See attachment.
Yes I've tried charging through usb with the 3way cable and connect another aux cable on the headphone jack. This makes it charge and play audio through my extra added aux cable, but is not what I'm looking for. My idea was to use 1 cable for both charging and playing music in my car who doesn't have an usb in the radio, for better looking cable management.
Would this support be hardware of software related? In other words: is there a way I can add this support on my tablet?
So, I'm on the magnetic charger train and I love them around the house. We're a house divided and there's tragically one Apple user here as well as my son who's phone still uses micro USB. The magnetic chargers have allowed us to use a universal cord between us. Well, my car now doesn't have Bluetooth and I'm stuck in the aux cable realm. Of course the 7 Pro doesn't have an aux port so I'm stuck using a dongle but I'm tired of popping out my magnetic nib every time I want to listen to music. Does anyone know of a viable alternative or am I going to have to get a Bluetooth compatible stereo for my car?
Why not just install a Aux bluetooth bridge device in the car powered directly using the cig outlet? Then you can connect to current stereo using bluetooth. Only downside is the lack of steering wheel control of music so you will have to change songs on phone screen or using Google Assistant.
