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.

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 I-Drive Control Panel

Emails and streaming video, not a problem with the Autonet Mobile in-car ISP as it can go in speeds to even 1 Mbps as you watch some of your favorite shows on YouTube or Veoh without having to resort to bringing your stockpile of DVDs. Slingbox owners will be thrilled to watch their local channels as they cruise the roads somewhere out there.
