How to watch YouTube videos on car display screen



If you want to play YouTube videos, cricket matches on hotstar or your favourite Netflix shows on car infotainment system which is not android based display units - just follow below steps to screen mirror from phone to any car stereo infotainment displays.

Steps:
1. Connect male connector of RCA splitter to reverse camera IN jack on car display system. THIS IS TO SPLIT VIDEO SIGNALS.
2. 1 female of RCA splitter should be connected  to reverse camera. Another female to RCA of HDMI2AV adaptor.
3. Using type C to HDMI cable, connect USB Type C from phone to HDMI input of the HDMI2AV adaptor.
4. Audio from phone should be connected to car display unit via Bluetooth.
5. Tap on reverse camera ICON on car's screen to access screen mirroring.
That’s it ! 
Adaptor converts HDMI to AV - Audio will be via Bluetooth. Play anything from mobile to see the same on car's screen.
My LG G8X phone goes little dim when screen mirroring which saves battery. Not sure on other android phones if screen dimming works.

This tech is applicable for the phones which supports HDMI out.
Mobile compatibility check for HDMI Out:
