Hey guys- noob question but I'm curios as to why it's so difficult to display phone on car with nav screen ? I'm sure there more to it, but can I get an had I to usb cable, plug in a chromecast or somethings g Silas and the hoop
K my phone to that??? Some say that sub does not put out vid, but I plugged in a sub with movies , while parked, and worked perfectly, so wouldn't the above idea work? Or something similar? Has anyone done this to a G with usb only and how was it done. Realize I would need to modify with Ks mod to get pics while moving, but just curios if this will work or what else would I need etc...
Also, it doesn't have to be wireless casting, I wouldn't mind plugging into X cord each time to get it to display out via aux...I have a 5 s and a lg phone so either OS not picky...for that matter I have an old Lumia 640 so even Windows OS too...
Thanks
^^^ I guess after plugging in my usb drive with a few movies etc, I started thinking that sticking some type of chromecast type device and then connecting my phone and blah blah voila ....but guess it was a pipe dream, damn, I'm keeping my car for some time, so wanted to do something to my nav and considered moving the stock screen and then a tablet, but after readin g through some posts on how to do it, realized it was waaaaay over my skill level...oh well, will see what pops up....thanks
the USB only does iPod/iPhone audio. if you have RCA Aux inputs, you have more options, but the later model G's don't have them.
the easiest and cheapest way to do what you're talking about would probably be to get a tablet mount ... not the cleanest solution, but FAR easier with no hacking of wires, etc.
That device Presto mentioned sounds interesting and looks cool, but kind of pricey. Something I was thinking about is getting a box they sell on ebay that converts hdmi to rca ($10-$20), then you can maybe plug in something like a chromecast, firestick, androidbox to it and mirror from that. Im sure its a lot of tinkering though. I'll probably try doing something like that in the next few months and post back if it works out. Still trying to come up with what method and equipment I should use to get the most bang for the buck.

The essay is part of the broader selection process used to assess communication and critical thinking skills, and it typically involves choosing from a set of topics - often focused on current affairs or broader social issues - and writing a structured response under time pressure. Forum members suggest practising general essay-writing skills like clear introductions, logical paragraphs, and strong conclusions, and recommend reviewing example topics or past questions where possible. Contributors emphasise that planning your points before you start writing can make a big difference in performance. Preparing mentally and physically for AOSB is demanding, and many candidates balance study with everyday life - using tools like https://wellness-app.com/ or a fasting app can help keep health and routines on track alongside exam prep.
Thanks for information
