And, I probably would use it if we wanted to support casual gaming in the back seat.įor this project, I selected a Mi Boxbecause it was cheaper ($60 versus $180), smaller, and less of a concern in case of damage or theft.

So, it clearly would be possible to use a Shield TV for our in-car media center.

And, Nvidia does a great job of providing regular software updates. Unlike a smartphone with a lithium ion battery, the Shield TV can be left in your car permanently.

We have the option–but not dependency–of using a smartphone to cast video to the Android TV. It is easy to store local media on a USB thumbdrive. Some of our favorite apps include YouTube for Kids, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, TED, PBS, and PBS Kids. Android TV supports a number of video and audio apps for both local and (optionally) Internet sources. Readers of this website know that I have deployed Nvidia Shield Android TV settop boxes throughout our home. Unlike Android settop boxes, you cannot use a USB thumb drive as removable storage. But, this is an expensive solution with little advantage over using the Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter. Apple TV: unlike Chromecast, Apple smartphones can stream video peer-to-peer via Airplay to Apple TV devices.So, there wouldn’t be a significant advantage to casting to a Chromecast versus using a tethered smartphone. Further, casting to the Chromecast would still require a spare smartphone to serve media. There would be too many dependencies and things that could potentially break. However, that would violate my wife’s “keep it simple” mantra. Theoretically, I could either use a smartphone as a WiFi hotspot or add a travel router to provide a wireless network for the Chromecast on the go. But, Chromecast stopped working when there was no WiFi available: going into setup mode. It worked fine at home on our WiFi home network. Google Chromecast: I tested a spare Chromecast Video device.Even if it did, my smartphone’s battery would drain because it would recharge slower than it consumed power. Unfortunately, my Motorola G5S+ does not support the MHL standard. Initially, I considered repurposing the smartphone that I use on my motorcycle for navigation. The exact amount of storage differs by phone. Tethered Android smartphone: many Android smartphones support micro-SD storage.streamed video requires a constant Internet connection.iPhones and iPads do not support removable external storage and.you cannot simultaneously use your iPhone for Carplay.

Tethered iPhone: with the Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter, you can play videos stored on your iPhone or iPad via HDMI.

That left the HDMI input as the best way to play videos on the RES. Unfortunately, I tested and confirmed that 2018 Honda Pilot’s software cannot do so. I read that the 2018 Odyssey may be able to play video files from a USB thumb drive.

USB thumb drive: in our old 2016 Odyssey, I used a USB thumb drive to store and play my music library.

Reading the online forums, I found a number of potential solutions that I eventually ruled out: The Android TV solution, below, likely works in other car manufacturers’ SUV’s and minivans provided they have an HDMI input for their rear entertainment system. The Honda RES is a throw-back to earlier times when everyone watched movies together.

there is a stable Internet connection while on the road.

we have a charged smartphone or tablet that we aren’t using and.

The problem with this approach is that it assumes that: These days, our kids default to using (Mom and Dad’s) iPhone or iPad to watch videos including YouTube, Netflix and Amazon. But, it had to be almost as simple as inserting a DVD. My wife asked me for a media solution that permits us to play a number of movies on demand for our children. There are both USB ports and a standard AC plug for power. In addition to playing Blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs, the Honda entertainment system can play anything that connects via either an HDMI or component auxiliary video input. We just purchased a 2018 Honda Pilot Touring edition that has a rear entertainment system (RES).
