So i was playing around with the media options button and noticed there is a section called av output and it seems like you can play movies or videos on the car screen anyone know how to use it?

 

AV input not output. You need 4-pole AV cable from camcorder to play video but it's locked down while driving. Otherwise you will get audio only if the parking brake is not engaged.

 

i've tried a 4-pole AV cable into this 3.5mm port and cannot get any video to display in "A/V".
Who has been sucessful in getting this to work?
I can only get this port to work for the "AUX" source.

Its mindblowing that lexus would show this "A/V" source from factory without a connection somewhere.

I am ready to buy the AV input cable from Beat Sonic if I need to but why have the source show up when its not even usable from factory.

 

Never mind I played around with it some more and figured it out on my own.
For those that are trying to use a 3.5mm AV cable to RCA (Yellow, Red, White) and it does not work for you. The RED is the "Video" signal. At least that was how it was for me. Suggestion is to try one by one til you get it.

Cable like the one I used.



Here's a video of me testing out a theory of Wireless Mirroring my image of my Android Nexus 5 Phone with a Chromecast attached to a HDM2AV converter and then plugged into the factory AV.

 

So there is a connection back of the unit to plug in the av inputs?

 

There is a connection to plug AV 3.5mm in the armrest with the USB ports. At least that's how it is in my ML system

 

So if you cant take advantage of this while driving what is the real benefit of this functionality. Just trying to figure out practical uses for it other than just knowing i can do it.

 

get a beatsonic, problem solved.

 

Power inverter + RCA Game-system

 

Doesn't the beat sonic come with a RCA connection already?

 

I used A/V connection for my front view camera plus video in motion override from Prestigious Society. Beat sonic works too.

 

Beatsonic bypass module does not come with RCA A/V connection. They sell this separately that you can purchase. But like I mentioned earlier, you do not need this, just need regular cable and plug into 3.5mm

 

very cool...thank you for sharing!

does it all still work while the vehicle is in motion??

 

i was thinking of just playing music videos

 

I have the Beatsonic Bypass module so it does for me.

If you do not have the Bypass installed then you will have to set parking break in order for it to work.
