Using a Smartphone via HDMI / MHL
What is HDMI?
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface
for audio and video sources. HDMI is a digital replacement for analog video
standards (Such As "Audio-Video Input" via RCA Cables).
What is MHL?
MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) is an industry standard for a
mobile audio / video interface that allows consumers to connect mobile phones,
tablets, and
other portable consumer electronics (CE) devices to high-definition
televisions (HDTVs)
and mobile multimedia receivers.
HDMI / MHL allows you to use the multimedia touch screen to control your
mobile device.
Note: It may not be legal to view apps on a smartphone while driving or
co
n
trolling a vehicle. It is the drivers responsibility to obey local and federal
laws while driving or controlling a vehicle.
