Just got my 8000NEX,thinking this might work,but can't find much info?If anyone has successfully done this how well does it work?Are there any sticks out there that use the hdmi connection for power and don't require an external power source?
Anyone using an HDMI android stick with there NEX?
Thanks!!Does this unit have wifi and can u tell me what it uses for a power source??
I am using this one in 8000nex - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00904JILO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
i use a usb wired charger behind the dash to power it.
It works very well with a rooted android phone and AR-unchained.
got a 7000 and I talked to pioneer tech support 3 times and they swore that the only thing would work was the belkin miracast, so I bought onr and I can't get it to work , but htey said they have the same note 5 orking all the time well my note 5 will only won;t show anything but if you swipe across the screen it will contol app radio, but no audio....wtf.....
I use an Amazon Firestick as the HDMI input on my 8000. It's not an Android stick, but the theory is the same. For power, it's plugged into a USB port that's in the center console, so everything remains out of sight. The Firestick remote is wireless, so I can control it while it stays hidden. Works great.
Plug the power cable into the rear usb port thats not being used.
Will CarPlay be disabled while using this android stick?
Does some special patching is necessary to use it or just plug to HDMI and launch APPS on headunit?
Would be nice to have access to google maps from time to time ![]()
