JazJon Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I'm going to try and Plasti-Dip BLACK my WHITE lightning extension cable and lightning to HDMI adapter. http://www.appradioworld.com/2013/09/black-colored-lightning-cables-from.html I had a successful test using Black Plasti-Dip today! (check out my before after pix/videos) http://forum.dashcamtalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2343&p=24825#p24825 This is all in the link above but here it is again for easier reading. I'm a new Plasti-Dip fan, this stuff rocks, people coat their whole car in the stuff! It's tough and feels like a real rubber coating. (because it is) The Silver trim rings from my smart car dashboard pop up gauges show up in the window reflection. (of my DashCam recordings, even with CPL) I took it upon myself to buy a $5.95 can of black plastic-dip. They turned out great! (4 coats) Plasti-dip rocks, it's totally safe and can be peeled off if you don't want it later on. People coat their whole cars in the stuff! http://dipyourcar.com I'm a total fan now. My Gauges look and feel like they have a custom high quality black rubber ring! Before: After: I expect it to be pretty tough even on cables. I'm going to do a minimum of 4 coats. Remember if you don't like it or it doesn't last you can either touch it up, or peal it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JazJon Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Project in progress today. I used tape to protect ends. I also plugged in second lightning cable to protect the internal female connector. To be continued........ (pix of finished black cable after 4th coat dries) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eatinitup Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Does your background display that picture becuase you are connected to the iPhone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JazJon Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Does your background display that picture becuase you are connected to the iPhone? Correct, you don't see that screen unless the iPhone AppRadio app is up and running and HDMI adapter is doing it's job. The only native things you'll see on an AppRadio with no phone connected is regular FM Radio, or Pandora via BlueTooth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have the Z150 with iPhone 5S but have been reading a ton of reviews on getting these cable extensions and getting it to actually work, so i've been holding off on setting mine up.

b2finity Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Jazjon, how did you add the siri, music, and all that other stuff on your appradio screen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JazJon Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Jazjon, how did you add the siri, music, and all that other stuff on your appradio screen? 1) You need to have a jailbroken iphone 2) Install AppRadio Extension Package in Cydia http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/34188-appradio-extensions-20-beta-full-iphone-control/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
