    Is the HDMI going to your head unit to watch movies?

    Yes. Long story short, I'm still trying to figure it out. I modified a USB slot to fit a HDMI cable and ran it to a AV split. (Because unfortunately the HDMI input on the back of the unit turned out to be an output for the unit... FML moment) My original thought was to hook up a firestick, PlayStation, etc. But the dasaita HU isn't recognizing what ever is plugged in through that connection. Been too busy lately, so I threw that mod on the back burner. The head unit itself is a tablet, so it can do everything a firestick can & more. So that being said, I might just scratch the whole idea lol
