*** Google Maps from phone to on-board screen ***

[GTC-NOVA]

Hello,

Anybody knows a way (app) to send the Google Maps from your mobile phone to the truck's screen? I've heard this is doable. Not very eager to update the GPS maps with what Ford has available, and I need to update the 2013 initial maps that came with the truck.

In other words it is a matter of mirroring the mobile phone screen on the truck's dash mounted screen.

I bet a lot of us would love something like this.

Thank you,
GTC-NOVA

Clear packing tape to hold the phone to the screen.

I could only see it working if the nav was bluetooth capable. this is why most go with a ipad mount or fish finder.

I was thinking JB Weld would be a safer way to do that. Especially for offroad adventures.

Of course the NAV is bluetooth capable and I have the phone paired already. How would this work then?

The only way I can see it work is getting an adapter for your phone and plug it into the AV ports in the console and if possible mirror the display. Also will need to get the NAV-TV unit so you can enable the AV port when moving. Packing tape is a cheaper alternative

Haven't dug into it too much, but I have tried to connect my iPad through the AV ports because I wanted to display motion X on the console screen and I couldn't get it to work.

There is few products for mirroring phone or pad to screen. I have lockpic air and it uses wifi for screen mirroring. Lock pic lets you use cameras but if you have OEM front camera that won't work, you need aftermarket one with it. Link to lockpic https://www.coastaletech.com/mytouchair.htm Other one is Crux that i know of heres link CRUX Interfacing Solutions ::: WVIFD-02

I do have OEM front camera, as the Raptor is fully loaded. Good idea though.

All of these have something that you have to do to get front camera working wether is cutting wires or replacing camera, if you want to use front camera when you want. I find it easiest to change camera and not cut any wires. My warranty company won't cover anything related to electrical issues, if they find out that i have modified wiring. With Crux you don't need to cut anything to get mirroring but it won't allow front camera use.
