Phone to output video to in-car screen

    Ok, so Im not great on this type of stuff but Im looking at buying an xcarlink device that basically is a plug and play gadget that allows me to connect a multitude of external video sources to my cars in-dash display. Ive got reversing cameras and other stuff worked out but if I can get a phone that can output 'composite video' I think, it will seemlessly display the phone screen on the dash display opening up stuff like google maps and satnav, skype on the screen etc which would all be pretty cool. My current Nexus S does not seem to be capable of outputting the video required. Any advice on phones that might do it?

    Has to be done via MHL HDMI and then using a HDMI to composite converter. Main issue is providing the 5v necessary for the MHL adapter so you will need to purchase an additional power supply. There's a full discussion on how to do this here:
