I was wondering if anyone could recommend a usb powered miracast receiver for my cars head unit. Anyone have any experience with these things?

Have you had a chance to test this yet? I can't seem to find it for sale anymore anywhere It was only $20 on Best Buy's website earlier last month...ugh!
I have been eyeing this one in the mean time: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00H2D3N0M/ref=aw_ls__1?colid=2SYX6GRYWC1WA&coliid=IEZL8WC4NRBGI

I bought that Tronsmart for $30. I know Chromecast may enable screen mirroning at some point, but the extended display looks very useful to me to use with my notebook. Anyway, I live in Brazil, so it's gonna take a couple of mounths to arrive here..

Nah...
That's miracast speed, nothing we can do, really. I saw somewhere Asus is making a "gaming" model that uses a dual-band wireless to get instant mirroring.

It's not gonna be cheap, people say it's going to cost $100+ =/

Can confirm the rocketfish works. It took a few attempts to connect but once connected it worked fine .

I just ordered the Lenovo WD100-SL, will post again and update whether if it works when I receive it. It's supposedly compatible with android 4.2.2 and above.
I have the rocketfish receiver and it works on all my devices on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz but on the moto x it only works on 2.4ghz. Shame because 5ghz has better picture , no artifacts, and if you mirror on 5ghz you can still use 2.4 for WiFi for streaming .

Speaking of the rocketfish receiver, it looks like it's been discontinued. I was going to order it and couldn't find it for sale anymore.

From what I understand, miracast in general kind of sucks because of the poor standardization across brands/devices. I have a lenovo laptop, and I'm hoping the dongle I ordered will work with the laptop's widi feature, as well as my moto x and nexus 7. :fingers-crossed:

yeah thats mostly true but i've used the rocketfish with nexus 7 1st gen (modded to work) nexus 7 FHD, galaxy s3, galaxy s4, and moto x and only had issues with moto x on 5ghz
I just got a Netgear PTV3000 in the mail yesterday, it works well with the Moto X.
Have not had a chance to put it through the paces but was able to briefly test it out on a 32" 720p HDTV.
Screen mirroring looked sharp enough, also tried Netflix and it looked decent but not as "HD" as I would expect, not sure if it was Netflix bandwidth or Miracast itself being the limiting factor. I'll load VLC on the phone this weekend and try playing a local HD file to see what it looks like.
Got the Lenovo WD100 today. Works well with both my moto x and nexus 7. Ironically does not work with my lenovo win 7 laptop... go figure.

Just bought one, one of the guys in the reviews for it said that he bought it for the Galaxy Nexus and it works, but you need to have a 3rd-party app installed, which someone here at XDA already made last week and put it into the market. I should have it sometime next week.
So i preordered the below because i want to be able to play final fantasy 7 on my phone and then stream the output to my tv when i am home and use the phone just like a controller
However samsung has still not released the thing...anyone know when they are planning to get this stuff out ?

I don't know when but I don't think it's anytime soon. If I had to guess I'd say September and I'm only saying September because that is also when the wireless charging back cover is supposed to be released.

I believe this is what you need!

You could go this route:
http://www.cellphoneshop.net/mhlhdmi.html
Read review and make sure the one you're buying works for the Note 2 or S3.
I have one from my ol' S2, bought an adapter for my Note 2 and it works like a charm!
Nope.
You need the mhl adapter like others suggested unfortunately. Unless you can find one locally than there is nothing you can do.
You need an mhl cable. More specifically the one from samsung because they made ours non standard.

needs to be an 11 pin MHL HDMI output adapter...
I don't know if there is a specific micro usb cable to hdmi convertor that I need to get in order to play my Nexus 7 to my tv. I don't remember if I read correctly, but I think I remember there being an article saying the Nexus 7 has a difference in its build, in which it needs a specific device to connect itself to an HDMI tv. Not sure though. If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it. I am basically only trying to look at these avi files on my tablet to a tv.
Think all you need is a MHL adapter

MHL won't work with the Nexus 7(2013). The slim port cable you ordered should work though.

You need a Slimport adapter (Not MHL which is a different competing technology!). Or get a Miracast adapter there are dongles , and use wireless access).
Unless you're running a CyanogenMod 10.2 build in which case, the
Slimport to HDMI function is not yet supported or working.

I use Netgear Push2TV PTV3000 to connect my N7 wirelessly to TV. It works pretty well. You may also want to install iMediaShare app from Google Play store on your N7 for streaming local and online content once connected to your TV.

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying the Startech.com SLMPT2HD Slimport adapter for connecting my dad's Nexus 7 2nd gen to his HD tv screen via HDMI.
I know that theoretically this should work but I also read that some of the available adapters don't work (well) in practice.
Can anyone on these forums confirm that the SLMPT2HD actually works with the new Nexus 7?
Thanks a bunch,
ries
Well, for anyone interested, I found out that it works fine according to a video review on Amazon.

I just bought this adapter and was able to test it today.
The adapter doesn't work for me either :crying:
I have an MHL adapter that I tried with my GNex to test out the HDMI cable and that's fine so I don't know why it wouldn't work.
The only thing I could think of is maybe my TV's don't support 1080p60 coming out of the device??? I don't really buy into that though as both my TV's say they do support that.

I sent an email to the Amazon vendor who told me to contact startech. That was two days ago and I haven't heard anything yet. I'm going to return the adapter if I don't hear anything today.

I also contacted Startech.com and got a quick and friendly reply that didn't help me much:
The SLMPT2HD adapter is designed to work with any device that are MyDP enabled.* The adapter has been tested on a number of phones and tablets I just can't speak to this specific one.* If there was known*issues with the Google/Asus Nexus 7 (2013) we most likely wouldn't have released it.

The response I got early this morning
Thank you for your inquiry!
There is no specific configuration of our SLMPT2HD required for functionality, it works as an external signal format converter.
have you confirmed with the documentation for your device that it utilizes a Slimport, and the steps required to enable external monitor output on that device?
have you tested our SLMPT2HD with a different model output device?
If you have any further questions, please contact us.

Yep... I wouldn't recommend buying this. I have to pay to return it, and they won't refund the money to me until they've tested it and if they say it isn't defective then no refund. Waste of $30 unless I can figure out how to get it to work on the N7FHD
Can vouch for $29 Analogix Slimport adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DWGB6CU/) which I originally bought for the Nexus 4 vs the unknown Startech SLMPT2HD at $39.
The signal level for Slimport on the Nexus7 FHD is very low compared with the Nexus 4 and 5. Most Slimport adapters will not work with the Nexus 7 FHD unless specifically designed for it. Startech.com's SLMPT2HD has been re-worked to be compatible with the Nexus7 FHD low signal levels. The new stock is available now, so any new adapters ordered going forward will work with the Nexus7.
