Excellent. I took your advice and bought the Ottocast wired to wireless converter which works immediately and without fiddling about 80% of the time. I will give this a go and let you know how it goes. I guess the car manufacturers don’t do it for safety reasons, however a simple circuit connected to the odometer output could stop it from working while the car is moving,

you can use 3 pin plug to Car plug adapter / car power inverter they exist! to play chrome cast and ps5 etc

Hi Nick, interesting video as always and as a result I purchased Ottocast HDMI adapter only. As you demonstrated works really well on my Mercedes but of course should not be used when driving although if you switch screen off then you can listen to the sound without picture which can work for some programmes. Only hint of caution is that both adapter and Firestick can get warm so need to be careful if placed in centre console or any inclosed space. Best Neil

And for the older Mercedes where there is a USB media-playback support, I found an USB to AUX-in to hook-up any audio-source to your radio (e.g. external DAB receiver). Maybe you can also give some attention to that too?

Thanks, Nick. Great info. Appreciated.

Is it possible to get fullscreen carplay this way on the pre-facelift CLA models?

[stefanguddat]

Thanks for adding more technical information to your review! So you think other HDMI adaptors will also have judder during video playback?

[stevieallan]

You plugged it into the arm rest, I have an EQA would I not need to plug it into the usbc port next to the cup holders as this is the one I use as the others did not work with my wireless android dongle

Hi Nick 😃👋🏼 The adapter must have sold well. 🙃 - In any case, many drivers here in Germany now drive as if they were watching Tom & Jerry on the side.
