hey guys Chris from Provo basalt
installations today we're doing a quick
how-to video a lot of you have been
asking how do i display or mere link
what's displaying on my phone on my
radio now we're gonna show you today a
couple of fun parts and things that
you'll need to make that work but stay
tuned we're gonna show you how this all
works to give a big shout-out to our
sponsor Sonic Electronix so check them
out for great deals on speakers and
units and subs wiring etc use discount
code provo beasts for instant type
written off your next purchase during
checkout all right so some of the parts
you'll need obviously you have your
aftermarket radio we have this pioneer
AVH an - 1300 NEX now some of the parts
that you'll need to make this work
mind you and please note that this may
differ depending on the radio that you
have now generally speaking most
aftermarket double-din touchscreen
radios will have some sort of video
input what we've picked up are three
items now we're using an iPhone here
today with this iPhone and of course
it'll differ a little bit if you have
Android you're gonna have to pick up
this part now I simple I'm smart and
they came up with this device that
essentially turns a HDMI input into a
composite output which will plug into
your radio and that's what your radio
can read now if you're if you have
already upgraded your radio to a radio
that has HDMI input you won't even need
this whatsoever but in the event you
don't have that type this will be your
solution I'll throw a link down in the
description if you want to pick one of
these up these are about 30 bucks on
Amazon now in addition to that we have a
lightning digital AV Adapter now what
this does it turns the Lightning port on
the iPhone into a HDMI output and
lightning port as well so essentially it
allows you to
into additional video features for
output to be displayed on another screen
and finally here we have a male to male
HDMI coupler we'll show you why we pick
this up here in a moment so first things
first let's get this pulled apart here
so you have your input and this
essentially is whatever device whatever
source that you plug into and it doesn't
have to be a phone it could be a gaming
console it could be a blu-ray player
whatever you want it goes in this input
here and then this is your output which
goes to your radio now like I said check
to make sure your radio has these
composite inputs before you go ahead and
purchase everything you see here today
now this has an HDMI output now to make
these work to plug into each other
that's why we bought that coupler now
you don't have to get a male-to-male
coupler you can use any HDMI cable but
you're gonna have a lot of extra cable
laying around and some people don't like
that it's too much so we instead of
using just an HDMI cable we picked up
one beam go ahead and plug that on in
plug that on into this so this goes from
the iPhone through your adapter through
the I simple adapter into the input of
your radio so an I lightning adapter to
an RCA composite output pretty cool so
this will go into a radio okay here on
the back of the radio we've located our
video our video input and our left and
right inputs as well so we will plug
these on in here one two and three just
like so all right so before we jump into
things we've got to make sure that AV
input on the back of the radio has
been turned on so go to our input output
settings and our AV input is actually
been set to OFF so turn that on okay at
this point what we'll want to do is we
got our adapter here and our iPhone
we're gonna go to our settings now this
AV input has been activated we're gonna
click on that what we're gonna do now
plug in our phone now you may get this
screen unfortunately Pioneer doesn't
allow you to use that AV input if you're
in motion or if your parking brake
hasn't been activated and now of course
they've gotten smart over the years and
have introduced what we call a double
pulse negative or essentially you have
to put your parking brake on release it
and put it back on again now there are
ways around this either you can put in a
switch or you can get a micro bypass
unit and we'll have a video on the
channel here of how to bypass the video
restriction on your Pioneer so we're
gonna go ahead and unlock her phone
here's a picture of our daughter
all right so immediately as you can see
here it's gonna display what's on the
screen now once you go to full screen
mode what it will do is actually go to
full screen on the radio itself so
pretty cool I mean really we can't
navigate or adjust the phone
specifically from the screen you still
have to touch the phone itself but at
least at this point you can see what's
playing on your radio from the phone so
any source whether it's if you're
running plex for your home movies you've
got YouTube Netflix internet browsing
anything that displays on the phone will
go here now of course you're not limited
to just I phones you can do androids or
really any device that pulls from an
HDMI input as this I simple adapter is
really flexible to whatever source you
want to display on your radio again like
I said make sure your radio has the
right inputs and of course we'll put a
link in the description for our I simple
cable as well as
if you have an iPhone itself we'll put a
link down for this lightning adapter but
that's about it
super cool tutorial on how to use
YouTube Netflix flex any video source
specifically on your radio
