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?

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 :)
