I had a spare input on my digital tuner so I thought I’d stick at Fire TV in it. It works amazingly and now I have built in Netflix, Kodi, Apple Music, iPlayer etc. On all 3 TV’s Proper chuffed with it.
Here’s what I needed; AV in cable https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F381575113139 4G Router and SIM card Huawei E5577 Black 4G Low-cost Travel Wi-Fi, Super-Fast Portable Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot – Long-lasting Battery https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B011YM0O..._vTxlBbDCR7CJA HDMI to Composite adapter (I had one of these in stock but this should do) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N5KNF..._EXxlBb4MGJPCF And 2 of these 12v to 5v converters https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00G890M..._L2xlBbMZYJ8R9 |
No idea why 2 of the pictures are upside down :ROFL:

That’s cool any chance of getting some wiring pics?+++ I have 3 of those cables not sure what colour pins go where on the dtv

If you have a continuity tester it’s easy enough to figure out which pin does what, then you just use the attached pin outs on the DTV plug |
Hello Chip, I like what you have done.
Do you have any audio whine/hum whistle (ground loop feedback). I do and I'm using a bluetooth receiver on AV1 and a MOTOVIEW airplay/chromecast on AV2 and was wondering if your power supply would be better than my USB cigar adapter. |

There is a slight high pitched hum when no audio is playing but it’s not Audiable when something is Doesn’t the cig socket stay powered all the time? If you are getting a ground loop you could try this? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F250489744414 |
Thanks.
Yes cig socket is on all the time, but battery seems to cope OK. I would unplug if I was parked at the airport etc... but car is used at least 5 times a week. I will make a switched supply one day as per the video on dognmonkey.com website. I might try one of those isolators but in theory, they should reduce the audio quality a bit. I'll post back if/when i do. |

Not sure why they ran the constant all the way through the car though |

I got bored of the Fire TV so I swapped it for an Apple TV, much better airplay support and still has all my favourite apps.
Instead of getting a (big nasty) power inverter I opened the Apple TV up and found that the Transformer outputs 3.3v so I bought a 12-4v in-line step down tranny and it runs it fine. Now I get the Album/Track/Art Show on my MMI screen whilst airplaying +++ |
