    Without going to deep details,. If you purchased Mirabox Car Wifi Mirrolink Display (Figure 1) then you MUST modify your HU (for A/V input) as in Figure 2 to get it work.

    IMHO:
    1./ Not worth it due to low resolution on HU display.
    2./ 28 Pin cables needed to modify to tap A/V signals.

    If you needed Waze/Google Map or Youtube/Hulu then just get a Hondo Phone Mount (iPhone/Android).
    If you still have an urge to show off your TOY then prepare to spend ~ $250 and more (depend on wireless, iPhone/Android) to buy a kit or
    DIY with some wires to cut, solder and ...etc with damage ~ $55.

    That's what I assumed but I have this processor. Already wired into my factory head unit. I'm just curious if I can tap into it.

    Audio Control LC7i is only for AUDIO, nothing to do with video/Mirror input into HU. So to speak frankly, LC7i only boot/clear audio output only

    this is spit balling at its finest but hear me out. if I dropped that relay in that makes my headunit stay on at all times such as nav or video or whatever. do you think that's a place that I could tap into the video?? there has to be some other way then cutting into my back up camera to get that A/V........
