2015 HMI Unlock - Video in Motion

[tenbigblinds]

Sure I can scan in the instructions or attempt to take photos of each page. There is a significant amount of soldering work to be done as well which you will see. The instructions are fairly good though. The most expensive parts appear to be the apple cable and adapter. You MUST use the apple parts if you have an iPhone.

I will attempt to get the instructions uploaded this evening.

The method "hosseface" used will work absolutely. But you are left with cables exposed, the A/C plug in use and such. This method is all internal and very clean. You can also plug any HDMI device into the port and it works as well. Apple TV, XBOX, Play Station and such. If you use the other method there is no plug for those external devices because it's in use by the cable.

Here are the instructions and I did a little extra by wrapping the cable with a plastic tube and will probably dip the connectors and get rid of all the white totally.

Looks like my HMI module will arrive in the morning by 1030. Here is a shot of the AppleTV running in the car using the mirror kit purchased via HDMI. As you can see, the converter is causing a green bar and flicker across the bottom. Hopefully he sends me a new one soon.

How challenging was the soldering? I've got that same kit from the same folks and have not installed it yet because I'm a little nervous about doing the soldering in the car. I'm considering taking it to someone to have that part done. I have very little experience soldering in general and have never done it in a confined space like the inside of a vehicle.

It was not a problem at all. Once you remove the tape on the wiring harness, there is plenty of room to work. Just "tin" the wires before you attempt to solder. It's not an issue at all. Simple.

Unit arrived today, install took about 20 minutes and works perfectly. Even has a cool sound associated with the startup splash screen. Overall very happy.... Just need them to send the replacement converter and I would rate as highly satisfied.

Two questions

Thanks for posting this information. I'm in the que at MVI for an unlocked module.

As for the iPhone mirroring

Two questions: Are the factory RCA jacks in the console now inoperative? What kind of 12v usb adapter did the supply and does it charge an iPhone?

btw I purchased a kivic one which mirrors the iPhone (but not all apps) and i get the green line along the bottom of the screen as well - so far no solution

 

[tenbigblinds]

Wow that sucks with the green line. Yes the factory RCA jacks are still in tact and functional. I've used the HDMI port for my XBox and AppleTV both of which have the green line as seen below. They sent a 12v to 5v converter which is hardwired into the main 12V supply and grounded to the chassis. And yes... It charges while your phone or iPod is in use.

Apparently the company can't figure out the green line either... A shame they didn't tell me that up front or I would have waited. I guess at least I have an HDMI port in the car now so when a fix comes along I'm in good shape.

Photo of green line. This is playing from my iPhone using SlingBox App from my cable box at home. Notice I'm doing like 35MPH.

Green line is annoying. How did you get the full size picture on slingbox? Do you use the zoom feature? When I do anything to change picture size it shrinks to a quarter size and I have to restart the app.
