Rikomagic Android HDMI stick Mini-PC, to watch netflix or listen to spotify.

i absolutely must have this!!! ....i need to know more....I'm poking around google about the product as we speak.....i need to know exactly what u purchased and how you did it.....also can you read a large hard drive(250G) off of the device??

Sorry, got your pm but since i'm a newbie here can't send any private messages yet.

I Bought this to use my iphone 5 in my car (Iphone 5 only supports hdmi out).

Then i bought the rikomagic HDMI Android dongle similar to this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Rikomagic-M ... 53f85b8bce
And had problems, because the HDMI to Composite converter did not support HDCP (HDMI Copy Protection).

So i went and bought this: http://www.frys.com/product/7037821 that will get rid of the HDCP copy protection .

All this is powered by 3.1A 12V USB adapter bought from radio shack. (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... d=19729686)

The downside of all this is that the boot takes about a minute and that downscaling a 1080p signal to composite results in unreadable text, but movies are fine.
I also had to solder my own cable for the hdmi splitter to grab some power from the usb-adapter i have in my car.
The keyboard i use is similar to this:

And yes, it can support large HDD's as long as you supply enough power to the hdd, i tested with 1TB 2.5" External USB HDD.

Installed projector fogs. Will probably look into a shroud to fill up the space. In the mean time I temporarily made a bowl for the fogs so that there isn't a gaping hole between the fog and the grill cover.








Need to match my headlight bulbs to the same color.

Added Flowmaster 40's and yanked the resonators.

Factory oil change. Cleaned and Conditioned seats with Leatherique. If anyone is not familiar with the brand it is absolutely the best stuff available for leather care.

When in October 2012 I got my M45 Sport I fixed new oem rims and new tires. I then noticed that the TPMS malfunction indicator would come on after about 14 miles on the freeway and the ** would appear on the info display. I went through the ESM and it was clear that nothing was wrong with my system that all I needed was a reset tool. But after reading on here I discerned that an alternative was to match the sensors, which would have been dislocated when the new rims were fixed, to their original positions. So today I took out time to cross rotate (revolve) my tires, and after about two hours had succeeded in matching the sensors to read the tire pressures. I should add that on each occasion that a sensor was correctly positioned it took less than 5 minutes drive of between 30-40mph before the tire pressure was displayed.

Slasher:

I would like to hear more details about your experience with Leatherique. I have read a lot of positive postings about it on various boards.

No doubt, mate! That company gets it right every time on every product. I have been a die-hard fan of Griot's Garage for eons. If anyone doubts that - check out my Griot trolley in my pics, LOL. I realise we all have our favs, but Griot's products have never let me down.

TXT: have you had any trouble with the popo for the tinted windshield? I went and asked a shop to do this the other day and they said they wouldn't. Love the look. When I lived in Louisville, KY, people had it done down there but they seem to be scared in Indy.

[bicsintegra]

blew my damn rear subwoofer!

Cant speak about your neck of the woods but they don't bother me. Might be because I dont have a hoopty and don't look like a drug dealer. Plus I dont drive like a jackass...most of the time so they probably dont care. All good here.

When I had my tints done, I wanted to get the wind screen done as well, and I was told they can't tint it because tinting it "could" cause excessive heat build up between the layers of glass and weaken it, making it more likely to crack. They told me they don't use tints on sunroof glass for that same reason.

Instead what they offered is a colour-less inside coating that is applied similar to a tint film just slightly thicker. The coating blocks 90% UV rays and repels 85% of the heat from the sun without absorbing it or trapping it in the glass like a regular tint can do (per the shop). The claim it also protects the dash and frontal areas of the interior (drying, fading, etc) by repeling all that stuff.
I had them do my wind screen and the inside of the sunroof. You can't see the difference unless you look where they cut out the tiny area in front of my roof-mounted lane change camera. I love the coating. No perceptible heat from the sunroof or the windscreen. Even in high-noon South Florida sun, you can lay your hand on the inside of the wind screeen, the inside of the sunroof, or even on the surface of the dash and there is almost NO heat. The car cools very quickly even after sitting in the 92 degree sun, and you don't feel any radiant sun heat on your skin or head while driving - even with the sun shade open ! They charged me $105 for the windscreen and the sunroof coating and each has a lifetime warranty just like the reg tints on the side and rear glass.

You guys are gonna laugh. I swifter wet mopped my entire car. Inside and out ROFL!

[svard75]

Damn. After detailing the car someone decided it was too nice and smashed into me, but in the worst case. Just ever so slightly so that the car looks like s*** not enough to claim an insurance.

Summer clean-up in the enging bay. I do this to all my cars each year. I used Griot's Garage engine cleaner and dressing (big surprise LOL). 6 years old with treks from the bottom of FL up to Boston, NY, Va, and Md. Approaching 76k miles and never lets me down!

NO, I didn't cover anything inside the engine bay. I wrapped some electrical tape aorund the MAF connector, and removed the air filter just to be sure they didn't get sprayed with cleaner or water. Aside from that I made sure I didn't spray any engine cleaner into or near the vents along the driver side wind screen as this is the intake for recycling air in the cabin and I didn't want that smell inside the car. Griot's makes a leather scent spray that I periodically spray that vent with - it keeps a hint of leather inside the car.
