Android based RCA output phones

[Brian99]

Hey RFD,

Any recommendations for good Android phones (preferable able to run 4.0) that also has the ability to output through RCA (composite)? Looking to run Torque (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...bC50b3JxdWUiXQ..) through my cars lcd screen.

Thanks!

This sounds very complicated. The only way I can see this working is if you get a phone with an HDMI out, then get a microHDMI-to-composite cable. I am not sure if such a cable even exists. Come to think of it, I don't even know if phones have HDMI out (I thought this was more of a tablet kind of feature).

The more realistic alternative is to get a phone that supports MHL, then get an MHL adapter EARN CASH BACK plus an HDMI-to-composite cable like this one. But even that's complicated, because now you have an adapter that requires external power (via a cellphone charger) and a bulky cable with two unused jacks (the audio) hanging around.

Depends on the car I think, maybe this thread will help?

Not a HDMI-Composite cable per se, but they do come as a big powered converter box:
