A/V Input Instructions

I'm guessing your powering the PI from one of the USB ports in the center console?

Currently I use it as a KODI box for watching movies on my tv's but there is so much out there for the PI that with a little digging it wouldn't surprise me if someone has already done something similiar with it.
The PI has 2 USB ports on it as well and it runs Linux so theres a good chance that there would be an OBD2 tool for it.

As an electrical engineer, I know that it's not easy to convert digital signal (HDMI) to analog signal (Composite). You really need an active converter, which requires external power such as USB, to convert the signal reliably. I really doubt the quality and compatibility of those HDMI to Composite "passive cable" which doesn't require external power.
You can go with those converter boxes, such as the followings, which will add bulk to our small center console storage.
If you want a more sleek and cleaner connection, the only thing I found is this. You will need to pay a price though.

The 5v for converting your video signal can also be provided by the mobile device

So I purchased
HDE 3ft. Feet RCA Male to 3.5mm Male Jack Composite Audio Video A/V Cable
SMAKN® 0.3m Very Short Flat HDMI V1.4 Cable High Speed + Ethernet Gold 3d HD HDTV Lead-White
Portta 100HC Mini HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter for TV/PC/PS3/Blue-ray DVD1080P,White / Black
Lightning Digital AV Adapter
I left my parking brake on, and I plugged everything in and apparently I have difficulty connecting everything. In the Lexus A/V Settings you can choose USB or A/V... and NTSC or PAL .... I left my settings on USB and NTSC with the NTSC switch on. The HDMI cables are working and the lighting digital av adapter works I believe. But it does not automatically mirror when I have the iPhone connected... Do I need to setup a special mirroring setting in the iPhone? Here is what my screen looks like with everything connected... I tried Red on white yellow or white white on white and every other combination available.
The screen looks like this no matter what even if i change the lexus settings to PAL or NTSC. or A/V or USB...
Tried almost every combination. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to drive all the way to the lexus dealership to find out they can't really help... Is the actually Portta broken or is the RCA 3.5 a/v cable broken ???

From your picture you can see you dont have the RCA cables seated all the way.
But just incase you did and are still having problems, try this,
Take your iPod with all this and try connecting it to your home tv. You can test the HDMI part of it, then you can try the RCA cables to your TV (most tvs still support an analog RCA video input).
If you get good picture in all these cases then I would say the RCA to 3.5mm jack is your issue.
