    Anyone know if any units have a composite video out, red, white and yellow lead connection.

    My car screen has a built video in. I'd like to link a GPS to the screen.

    Also as a bonus one that be sent Google maps locations in some way that would be great.

    Thanks guys

    Interesting idea. I don't know if you can do it directly. What type of radio/screen have you?
    I have one of these

    You can take the HDMI output from a GPS on your phone straight to it.

    I've taken the GPS from my phone, mhl to composite lead did the trick. But the phone has enough to do and can't charge fast enough . gps goes when the phone rings etc.

    I only want to show the output , the car screen will just act as a TV .

    I've never saw a GPS with an output.

    Alternatively I have mirrorlink on the car but it only works with Samsung and Nokia and I've neither.

    Yes I have found the battery drain a big issue when using that or Pionneer app2radio.
