I would like to connect my Xoom to my car audio but I do not want to use the headphone jack.
I am working on an install like this:
YouTube - iPad installation in Toyota Prius
With the Xoom all the ports are on the bottom when in landscape mode, except for the headphone jack. For my install the tablet will be used in the landscape orientation, but due to the location of the ports on the Xoom it will be inserted into the 'dock' from the top as opposed to the side like you see in the video.
I'd like both the power & audio to be automatically connected once the Xoom is docked.
To do this I need to get audio out of a port on the bottom.. either usb or hdmi.
It must be possible to get audio out of hdmi because the Motorola stereo dock uses hdmi (Motorola Xoom Speaker HD Dock: Hands On - Motorola Speaker HD Dock (left) Standard Dock (right) - Slideshow from PCMag.com)
My question is ultimately how would I take hdmi and get the audio out via RCA or even 1/8".
Also can anyone confirm audio is available when playing via the default music app?
I've heard on some devices the hdmi is only active during Gallery or Video apps. However I doubt this is the case with the zoom due to that stereo dock they sell.
Thanks
