Bionic powers Slingbox to my car display

I wrote this for my BMW, but any car with a control is a candidate for putting a switcher on the display.

1. Before you begin, enable DVD in motion to prevent video lockout with car in motion.

2. Install Slingbox Pro on your cable box at home. This will enable cable TV to your smartphone.

3. Install this Video/camera interface for 2009 and up BMW Vehicles with Gen 3 (CIC) iDrive controls. Compatible with 2009 and up BMW 3 series (E90) and 7 series (F01 / F02), the 2010 and up 5 series (F10), most 2010 and up X5/X6 vehicles and the 2011 X3. (Check for TV tuners for other cars.)

4. See this on your phone...

5. Connect a video cable (requires a phone with HDMI out) I use Droid Bionic by Verizon...

And see this on your car's Control Panel
