Follow the instructions they give you and the info from this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ct-...us-ct200h.html) and it should go smoothly. I have never done anything like this before and it was relatively straightforward. Only snag was getting my big hands behind the radio to unplug stuff. The instructions said something about taking off four bolts once you disconnect all the wires but I couldn't figure it out. Oh well!

Phone: iPhone 6 Plus

Caveat the RCA-HDMI converter needs power which is what the wire tap-in is for. They can tell you which pin to splice power from depending on your year.

The screen is not as clear as the iPhone (obviously) but it's perfect for what it is.

this is cool as heck.

good use for the GPS app waze. would be cool to look at the screen instead of the phone itself.

 

Just a note, for my iPhone 6 plus with the screen on, the charge from the RCA-HDMI convertor is not enough to keep it charged with Waze running. It seems that if I turn my brightness on my phone down it will keep the phone charged.
