iPhone 5S Lightning to Component (for video on nav screen)?

kingcobra · 03-21-2014, 04:36 PM

I've been looking for lightning to component cable but there doesn't appear to be such a thing?!?!?!

How do you guys connect your iPhone 5/5s to the video components in the armrest?

Also, is there a quick way to bypass the fact that video only plays when ebrake is on?

I use a lightning to HDMI and HDMI to component.

That's what your going to have to do as it's a digital video output that you have to break down to component.

No such thing straight up. Only lightning to HDMI or lightning to VGA. As said further down, you can get a convertor.

See below for answer to both question 2 & 3, but as I said, lightning must be converted from HDMI or VGA:

NISSAN 370Z NavTool video interfaces.

I have one installed and it's great, many other guys here have them too, install guides abound, just search.
PS: They're cheaper on FleaBay.

Shows as coming soon for 10+ model year

Is it worth the hassle? I mean I don't NEED to have the video playing while driving, that would only come in handy for long road trips...plus since I'm a convertible I'm sure the top would be down and the movie wouldn't be necessary anymore
