It all started with a dream. An enterprising Motorola Droid Bionic owner on the DroidForums message board wanted to be able to watch the Netflix videos streamed to his Bionic on the rear-seat entertainment (RSE) system in his 2003 Lexus GS 300. The user (who goes by the handle InspiredGS) went to work modding and, after a bit of careful hackery and a careful application of epoxy, his Droid Bionic Car Kit had been upgraded to allow the handset's display to be mirrored on the Lexus' screens.
What the modder basically did was add an HDMI connection to the Droid Bionic's car dock to match the Micro-HDMI output on the side of the Bionic handset, which enables the Bionic's video mirroring function. Then, with an HDMI-to-RGB converter and a digital video switch, the mirrored video is distributed to the Lexus' in-dash display and dual 9-inch headrest monitors.
The user is not able to control the Bionic with the car's touch screen; this is a one-way connection.
