Xoom used for car audio - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm picking up a tablet to replace my head unit in my truck, i've done some research on line and see its possible. Just wondering has anyone here tried this? And what all did you need/use.

You would need a 3.5mm headphone to RCA cable. You will have to have an amplifier for your highs, as well as one for your subs if you have any. Run the RCA cable to the input on the amp (you will need an RCA Y adapter if running multiple amps) and that's pretty much it, just have to get the signal to the amps.

Does this phone have DLNA?

Does the G2x support DLNA? If so, how do you access it?

media share and there is a place in the settings to turn on the sharing.
Does DLNA do the same as HDMI Out? For example, if I wanted to mirror my phone on tv could I do that?

No it's not quite as good as HDMI mirroring dlna is limited to the way it outputs. Your better using hdmi mirroring. You can't not mirror it like HDMI dlna is more like streaming from one device to another
differnet things

with hdmi nmirroring you can mirror your games or streaming video to the tv. dlna is limited to files on your phone.
Ah, alright guys. Do you have any recommendations for HDMI cables? I need something around 3 feet long.

U have to connect ur phone and tv to the same network, with a wireless N router, I have a G router and it's too slow. Then when playing a video (not youtube, a video file from ur memory card) then click menu our long press the video, u'll see an option play with, and u'll see the name of ur tv and select it

I bought 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VZKNYY and haven't had any problems with them. Also the cables arrived 2 days after I ordered them.

Media Hub HDMI output

Has anyone else noticed that the HDMI output doesn't support the Media Hub movies? Is that not the point of the HDMI output? Not to mention its not HD and looks bad. Samsung took a step back. The captivate played everything on its TV out.

Noticed that also, a huge drawback and seemingly kind of pointless

Yes I believe the HDMI output was one of their selling points but it looks worse than the standard output of the captivate.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Been covered do a search about this topic. Its because of licensing via mediahub, therefore it won't output 720 or 1080....

Audio quest dragonfly

Can we use the USB to 3.5 dragonfly on the USB on the dock? If so has anyone used it? I just got the tablet hooked up to my TV but I have to use analog for audio since I'm using HDMI to dvi.
Any thought?
