Trying to run from an HDMI out on the smart phone to RCA in

[LwnmwnMan2]

Can someone help me out with what I need exactly?

I know I need a mini HDMI from the phone to a converter box, then RCA's out from the box to the hook up in the vehicle.

What I don't know, is the name of the box I need.

I know to get it from Monoprice, but there are people on here smarter than I.

Basically we're trying to use the phone for watching videos through the DVD in the van while travelling. This way we can even stream quite a bit of live TV from home while on the road.

I'm pretty sure I need product #8667 on the above site, correct?

I have no experience with a converter box such as that, but it would probably be the one I'd get based on your goals. I read the customer reviews it appears that it does what you're looking for.

Looks like it requires an AC voltage source unless you can find the right 12V/5V DC adapter for it.

Funny you should bring this up. I was talking to my dad yesterday and they got a new JD tractor that has a monitor in the dash with video input for a remote camera and he was wondering if there was a way to connect his RAZR to watch movies. LOL. The one thing that I'm skeptical about is if Netflix will stream out of the HDMI port due to copyright protection concerns.

There are people that use their phone for watching on their regular TV, Verizon now has "special" docks for it.

I don't know what the difference would be between your Razr, PS3, Wii, computer.

My new Smart TV has Netflix built in. Hit one button on the remote and, BAM! whatever movie you want.

We have an inverter built in right next to the composite in, in the van, so that's not an issue either.

I'm thinking I'm going to order it up, and it it works, I'll post again.

I'm sure it's the same setup in the tractor.
