Ever wanted to connect your smartphone or tablet to an older overhead or headrest video monitor in your vehicle? Thankfully, iSimple now offers the ISHD01 MediaLinx adapter, which lets you connect your device directly into those red, white, and yellow RCA inputs on your legacy gear to get sound and video — making your backseat passengers much happier.

You can use the ISHD01 adapter to connect smartphones and tablets to a monitor with only analog audio and video connections, which could make long road trips much more pleasurable. To connect your devices, here's what you need:

  • iPhone® users with the Lightning connector:  You'll need the Apple Lightning digital AV adapter and an HDMI cable to plug into the iSimple adapter.
  • Android™ users: You'll need a compatible MHL-to-HDMI cable for your phone, which plugs into the female HDMI connector on the ISHD01 adapter.

Note: The ISHD01 adapter is not recommended for home audio/video HDMI sources, such as DVD players, Blu-ray players, and video game consoles.

If the video source coming into the HDMI connector is 720p, what will be the resolution of the video coming out of the composite video (RCA) plug?

Greetings Aaron, and thank you for your question. Composite video only supports 480i resolution. Thats what will be coming out after the conversion.

I would like to transfer my videos VHS-C to my laptop. Then burn them to make copies. My video camcorder has RCA plugs and the laptop is USB or HDMI. Will either one work?

It should work fine if you are sure you have a HDMI input on your laptop. But if it is only a USB then you will need a different Product. Something like RCA to USB Input. I hope that my input was of some value to you

Q
I was considering buying this to connect my HDMI output from my laptop to my car screen. Will this cable be enough or do I need an actual digital to analogue converter? If this cable can take HDMI and output to RCA and then a separate cable (CANON) take the RCA and connect it via the 4-POLE AUX port to my car I think I'm in business. I own a 2015 Chevy Sonic
michael  Oct 31, 2016

Well if you have a digital output then your end input should be digital as well but for this cablestv-250n accepts analog signals only so it will not work for your application maybe a converter in between the hdmi and the drv-250n might work but not so sure

I'm planning on hooking my Xbox One to to the car aux and wondered if this would still have sound?

If your HDMI and other equipment is good and with good connections then you should have sound as the red RCA jack lead is for right side audio, the white RCA jack lead is for left side audio & the Yellow RCA jack lead is for composite video. Enjoy !!

I've used this on my tvs Rca as well as my vehicles and I had sound on both platforms.
