I know you can use a PS3 or 360 controller on the Nexus 7, but I'm looking for a type of clip that will attach the tablet to a controller. Are there any good ones that are compatible with the Nexus 7 2nd Gen?
EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize there was a forum specifically for the 2013 Nexus 7. Wrong section.
Bought a MetaWatch Strata on clearance from Best Buy for $40. Without a link to the phone, it's not even a very good watch, but it won't BT sync with my Bionic.
Just for some data points, it won't link with my Amazon Kindle HDX 7 (with Google Play Store hacked in)
But it will link with my Nexus 7 tablet (2013 model w/ rear cam).
But I can't exactly WEAR a tablet around, can I?
Checked with MetaWatch forums and we came to the conclusion that the watch really really needs BT4, or something about "SPP Profile"?
I know the phone's too old to have BT hacks, but here's a bit of ancillary question: is there a way to get a full enumeration of BT capabilities of a device? or do I have to look for it on Moto's website?
Hey, so I tested out android auto on a Honda crv and I'm quite impressed but it felt very restricted and basic. How likely is it we are going to be able to root the head units and install custom ROMs? Would we loose control of the cars settings and functions just like we loose a phones functions such as camera and media?
It wouldn't matter. The car HU is just the interface... AA stuff runs on your phone.

Oh ok, thanks for the reply. I thought the HU was a stand alone device but needed a phone for the data.
2015 honda crv android headunit
I fairly new to xda, I have used some mods and themes. My question is that like original post, I have found 2015 Honda crv android radio in perfect condition in a salvage yard. only blemish is I slight scratch on touchscreen which does not effect the functionality of the unit. the only thing I want change is the boot screen from a Honda screen to something else like Pontiac Trans AM GTA, is that possible. I have the security code and have the basic wiring down. need to find the other wiring schematics. any help would be appreciated.
Does anyone know or have they experimented with slimport/mhl to HDMI adapters for this thing? I have rooted this thing and installed my own launcher and have a projector I'm interested in hooking it up to.
If one of the adapters on Amazon works then my hope is to set this on top of the projector in an always on manner, and use VNC or some other android-to-android mirroring software to play content on it.
You may be thinking, why not just use Chromecast? Well this would be specifically for apps that don't have chromecast such as Xfinity TV Go. So just wondering if anyone knows about past fire tablets and these adapters or if they have already tried some and found success.
I haven't seen any mention that the fire 5th gen supports slimport/mhl. Have I missed something?

Damn, we can have hdmi on this?
I'll believe it when I see it tho. I can't find any reports of successful hdmi.
The mediatek page for MT8127 does mention hdmi. We don't know if there is any difference from the MediaTek MT8127 D that amazon lists. Or if the chip supports only a standard hdmi port not slimport/mhl usb.

I just tried both MHL and SlimPort, and neither one worked.

Do you have stock Fire OS or were you using Cyanogenmod?

There are tablets that use a MediaTek MT8127 and have a slimport, such as the Iconia Tab 10. However, I couldn't find any tablets that use the D version of the MT8127.

Oh, that gives us hope! Thanks!
Tho if it had slimport capability, why wouldn't amazon enable it in the stock FireOS. It would be a selling point & help get people to buy tv shows or movies from amazon. Perhaps the best resolution it could push out wasn't so hot & amazon left it out to avoid a disappointing experience? Yep, I'm trying to hold onto hope for slimport here. :laugh:
Wish we knew WTH they did to the D version MT8127.
I don't see any HDMI adapters for the 5th generation Fire on Amazon. The reviews for the 4th generation adapter claim that it does NOT work for the 5th gen (it's a shame, this one lets you charge while using the adapter):

Edit: the following was a brain fart, thanks blueberry.sky for pointing it out
Edit: But one reviewer claimed this other adapter did work (downside is you won't be able to charge):

Wow! Nice job finding that report! And he specifies " $50 7in fire 5th gen".
Tho I'm not understanding what he could mean by this "I've tried lots of work arounds to supplement it memory and this one works great."
Wait . . . . .
That is a USB OTG adapter, not a slimport adapter. So excited for hdmi, I nearly brought one! :silly:
I have the model number PS56GR, Amazon HDMI Adapter for Fire Tablets (4th Generation)
It does not work at all the the 5th Generation Fire 7" . All it does is pass through the charge. BTW it works very well on my Nexus 7 2013
Has anyone had any luck using newer roms?
Anyone had any success with this?
MHL with cm-12.1-20160203 is still a no go.

Not sure I would accept that premise just yet. I used Chromecast's "Cast Screen / Audio" feature to stream an episode from my computer via TVersity, wirelessly to the Fire, wirelessly back to the Chromecast, and it worked better than expected. Casting the entire screen would be one alternative that actually works.
Is there an update to this.i just got the 5th gen just to stream movies in the car but need to know if mhl has been figured out for this
I just bought a chinese Android head unit off ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/332060332923?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I came here for some tips but it looks like the MCU that is on the unit is a different variant than the MTC* that XDA mentions.
The MCU that is listed on the unit is SM92B1.161111.V1-CYD-B3.
Is anyone familiar with this? I would love to get this thing modded a bit.
If it helps any, the splash screen when starting up is HIZPO.
You're in the wrong forum, this one is for Android Auto, which is a specific Google product. You want the Android Head Units forum.
