Anyone using a dongle on aftermarket HU to "screen mirror" from a smart phone?

Re: Anyone using a dongle on aftermarket HU to "screen mirror" from a smart phone?

So what I have done it purchased a double din stereo running android.

like this one:

It runs just like an android phone and I simply hotspot my actual phone for data and then run everything off the stereo. It also has an sd card slot which i load with movies, tv shows and music so i do not have to hotspot all the time.

I can watch espn and hbo while (my wife is) driving!

I have a few diffent version in my cars of this android stereo. Reliability is good but quality can be.... meh.

The one in my gti was very plug and play. sound is good and it integrated with the steering wheel and aftermarket rear camera perfectly.

The one in my titan is a generic android deck. I got it wired up with a metro harness but I have not yet dug in to wiring an access steering wheel control adapter. The sound quality is not as good as name brand stuff but if you are familiar with android phones, it is pretty straight forward.


I had the pioneer android auto deck in my last suv. nex4100 i think. great sound and easy controls and you plug in your phone to get android auto or car play. Only negative is no watching hbo go or hulu. but it did play movies and tv shows from files if you run the traditional parking brake bypass.
