Main unit ... Mirroring [Sound unit setting method] even without HDMI terminals

There are various tips and theory for attaching a car audio unit.In this series, we are trying to clarify the fun of car audio and the value of the professional shop while explaining each one.This time, I will explain the installation of items around the main unit.

The item to be featured this time is the "HDMI conversion adapter".If you use the "TV kit" introduced last time, you will be able to prove the video content on the navigation screen even while driving, and the passenger's in -vehicle entertainment will be further enhanced, but you will also want to mirror the smartphone.If it becomes possible, the number of visual content that can be enjoyed will increase at a stretch.However, if your favorite navigation does not have the HDMI terminal, it will not come true ...

I thought, and some items that make it possible have been released.For example, a device called "HDMI conversion adapter" (photo) is sold from the data system, and if you use it, you can convert digital output from your smartphone to an analog signal, so the smartphone video on the external input terminal of the AV integrated navigation system.And you can enter the audio.

In the case of the "HDMI conversion adapter" of the data system, the power supply is removed from the cigar socket and the body is small, so installation is not so difficult.However, the external input terminal of the AV integrated navigation is basically behind the navigation.So the installation cannot be completed without the skills that can be accessed on the back of the navigation.

So, if you can't remove the navigator panel, order this item to the car audio pro shop.Such a work is before breakfast for a car audio pro shop.It will surely and cleanly complete the work.

In addition, there is one item you want to use when installing this item.It is "AV Selector".For example, in the data system lineup, there is an item called "AV Selector Auto", and using this item can increase the number of external input terminals of one system to three systems.Therefore, the rear camera and the "HDMI conversion adapter" can be used together, and for example, a Blu -ray disc player or game console can be connected.In addition, at the time of the reverse position, it switches to the image of the rear camera with auto, and can detect the video signal input of the connection device, so that the source can be switched automatically.

Therefore, "AV Selector Auto" requires wiring work for linking with reverse gear, and the difficulty of installation is slightly increased.However, car audio pro shops will complete the installation without difficulty.

That's it for this time.Next time, we will introduce useful items related to the main unit.looking forward to.
