Hi guys, ive been looking into this myself.. double din stereo with only RCA input, but the mhl only has hdmi..

I saw a HDMI to VGA + Composite RCA Audio Video Cable but it states it might not work on some devices. Well the exact wording is "This cable only work for the device which output properties can be change to VGA or component Video + Audio through HDMI output port (for example: some media player, DVR)"

I was wondering if anyone came across this or if this might work? I have the usb car charger to power the MHL - so in theory this sounds like it would be a win win if the properties can be changed?

You have to make SURE you get something that can CONVERT the digital signal that comes out of HDMI to ANALOG (expect these to be $100+). It might be cheaper to just upgrade to a Galaxy note, or install a tablet in your car.

MHL Cable --> HDMI --> RCA

Hello,

There is someone that have tried this?

Just a refresh: Phone connected over to MHL USB --> HDMI Digital --> RCA Analog --> LCD car monitor

I want to do the same, but is not clear if the phone finally recognize the HDMI to RCA converter box or not.

Help Please!!!!!

Just bought everything, waiting on shipping. I will be trying it with a SGS3>MHL>HDMI composite converter a (powered by a 5V DC generic car adapter) kenwood DDX 7015...the DC power adapter will be fused and hard wired (lighter end is coming off) the converter mounted under the dash...if this works, a lot cheaper than $250 update disk for my nav! If not, I'm sending all the crap back.

Sgs3 you have alot more options since Samsung switched the mhl adapter from 5 to 11pin. To stay on topic. I just got a raspberry pi in last week, and just out of boredom I tried to see if I could do this and it worked perfectly. Actually for 35$ you can't go wrong and it already has the outputs needed,but you can interface with just about anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tacjim:
Can you link where you bought it? Maybe explain how it works with the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
Tried to see if you could do what? Simply hook up the Raspberry Pi to the car screen, or get the SGSII output onto the car screen through the RPi?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tacjim:
Yes get the RASPI to recognize the SGSII? What driver did you use for the RASPI? I mean, it's not plug and play like a windows 7 computer.

How will you get the phone to stream video out of the micro-USB in the first place? The phone's USB port isn't a video output, is it?

What software are you planning to use to force the phone to do that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
The phone has MHL support. If you plug in an MHL adapter to the micro-USB and the other end into an HDMI port on a TV, there will be video out. No special software needed to do that.

Sadly, MHL doesn't work on any AOSP-based ROMs yet.

I just tried with cyanogen 9 and AOKP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
:confused:

Wrong. It was working fine for me on AOKP Build 40 yesterday. It's nice because the launcher and everything gets rotated once you plug it in.

Sadly, Amazon sent me the wrong converter, HDMI to Component instead, but I should have the right one tomorrow.

I just finished the wiring for the converter and MHL adapter though. Just need to tap into the cigarette lighter wiring and I should be all set!

Updates tomorrow...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
Eh? It doesn't work on both cm9 nightlies nor aokp 7-3 with fluxi 7-7. It shows one screen that is frozen in portrait mode, while the phone switches to landscape.

If there's something I can do to fix this, I'd like to know. This is on two separate phones btw, running different roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
I stand corrected, MHL does not work as you said on AOKP. I only heard audio and figured the video was working too. I am switching over to Semi v15c tonight because I think it works on that ROM.

Also, my wiring doesn't work because it is only rated at 1 A output, while the converter needs 2 A. Looks like I need an iPad car charger to hack into to make a new one. I thought that might have been a problem. Anyone know of one I can buy at a store for cheap? I don't want to wait for a cheap one from ebay, but I also don't want to spend $20.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
I decided to use a DC to AC inverter instead of the DC to DC converter. I wish I didn't have to go DC->AC->DC, but the wiring will actually be easier. Also, I couldn't get a 2 A output on the iPad charger I bought for some reason.

I switched over to Semi v15c and can confirm that MHL works on that. I am still going to test out other ROMs to see what I like, but AOKP is the best IMO. I just really wish it had MHL support...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
Decided to discard the whole project, just wasn't working the way I wanted it to.

I can confirm that MHL to HDMI to RCA through a converter does work though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
That makes sense since HDMI is digital and rca (composite) is analog.

I thought we were talking about video signals?:silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
The analog connection for audio will send the audio exactly as it is, and is preferable to digital audio connections in many cases.

No audio company is ever going to use a digital connection only. If your source is digital (like a FLAC or mp3 file on a GS2) it will need to be converted to analog to hear it since speakers are analog. A digital connection is good if you have a great external DAC or are listening to multichannel audio, but in most cases an RCA or stereo 1/8"/3.5mm plug will work very well.

If you were using the phone's headphone jack to play audio (analog source after the phone's DAC), using a digital connector on the amp/receiver would be dumb as it would need to be converted to digital again and back to analog for playback, which would not be good for the sound quality as there are bound to be more quantization errors in the sampling process and other digital artefacts introduced in the second conversion.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
The hell? No. Car head units have built in DACs that are probably better than a phone. HUs have had iPod connectors, CD players, digital radio (Sirius), and USB inputs for awhile now. All digital. EQs and cross fading and crossovers are all digital. They have DVD players with video too. Converting digital on your phone to analog is silly.

If you're plugging it in to your '79 camaro, fine. Or if you're bypassing the hu and plugging directly into the amp. Then analog out makes sense.

Analog inputs are nearly dead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
Analog inputs certainly aren't going anywhere, usb audio standards would make for helpful options, but you're talking about car sound systems. Cars will never be audiophile vehicles of musical enjoyment.

I'm not sure if this works, But I am trying to make a mhl to composite with as little wires as possible.

This is what I am thinking about doing:

Step 1: Phone Micro usb to Micro usb MHL Converter

Step 2: Plug in HDMI Male to Female

Step 3: Plug in Female to HDMI to Composite

Step 4: Plug Composite (red, white and yellow) Into the system.

Do you think this will work? Has anyone tried to do this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DaveyBB:
^^^^

That's not a composite cable...its component.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thesssfactor:
I know that...

I will only be using the component lines, red, white, yellow. In a composite cable Red and white are the audio lines and the yellow, green and blue is is the reason for better quality picture than component. The 3 to 1 lines for video makes a different.

So I am wondering if this will work or not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
You seem very confused on the differences between composite and component. Read up on Wikipedia to tell the difference. Also, audio had nothing to do with the two video formats.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
No, because HDMI is a DIGITAL signal while component is analog and REQUIRES all 3 cables because each cable transmits a different color of the screen, which allows the analog cable to transmit HD displays.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
Yeah that won't work at all. You need a digital to analog converter to take the digital audio/video information convert it to analog signals that can be used by the respective rca jacks for audio & video.

So, I had my T959D on the latest miui.us rom with glitch 13 and everything was working fine. I gave it to my girlfriend as a new phone.. still everything worked fine for a few weeks. I dont know what she did but she was getting force closes on messaging and browser so I told her to wipe the data from the apps because that sometimes helps me.. no luck. I then told her to go into recovery(from 4 way restart) and fix permissions. This put the phone into bootloop. Normally thats fine and i can just go into recovery and fix it up. Problem is that either she cant get it into recovery. I dont think that she is doing it wrong, I am just wondering if using a i9000 rom has somehow removed the ability to do the button combos? I never had this problem before really, but its hard to really know because she is a few provences away and I cant get my hands on the phone itself. Tried getting into download mode too.. no such luck. Any insights into this would be GREATLY appreciated. Basically my question is if the MIUI for the i9000 breaks the recovery and download mode button combos on the telus t959D? Is there any other option than a JIG?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrico2:
The answer is NO, your button combo still should work fine. Thats the exact ROM and phone that my bro is running and it's all good.
