Abstract, when you got all of the things, you need to setup the Chromecast in the WiFi of your house. When the setup is completed, in your car you can connect the Chromecast through your mobile device, sharing Wifi connection. But this connection must have the same Wifi_ID and WIFI_PASS that the wifi of your house (or the wifi that you completed the Chromecast setup)

Very interested in using Android Auto app on my smartphone now that is can be used without an Android Auto headunit. Could you tell us about how the mirroring works to the Chromecast. When we plug in the usb cable between the Chromecast and the smartphone, are we mirroring via the usb cable, or are mirroring via miracast? Is the purpose of the multiple headed usb cable just for power to all the components? Do you have to turn on mirroring on the smartphone. Thanks for your help.
You need this application to mirroring the smartphone: Google Home App
Open the app, and in the left menu, you only need to enable Mirroring this device!
The connection used the shared wifi that your smartphone have.
regards!

Hi need some help
Have connected every thing as explained .
My car (Audi A6 2012 ) is VIM unlocked has a 6 DVD changer, no issue in video playing when car is moving can even play video from SD card.
But in my AUX SOURCE screen it shows only AUDIO IN and not VIDEO IN . Do I need to change any setting in the system to activate it.
I am using HTC10 android and not Iphone.
Thanks in advance

Do you check the AMI-RCA cable? It is broken
Here a couple of colleagues had the same problem as you. When you have the cable plugged in, try to move it by hand, surely in a position you recognize it as video and the Chromecast is displayed on the screen.
They bought the cable through amazon and asked to replace it. With the
new cable no longer had any problems.
For example, with the bad video cable:
With the correcto video cable:
Change the cable

It does have a DVD player, plays video just fine through DVD, SD, and HDD (via AMI USB). I've asked the seller from Amazon to send a replacement, and I've ordered an OEM one from my local dealership. I will report my findings.

I just picked up the genuine Audi part from the dealership and it works great. It would appear that the cheap cord from Amazon was the issue. The seller from Amazon is still sending me a new one, I will test that one when it gets here and report back.

If you are using one of those cheap hdmi to rca adapters from Amazon, remember they too need to be powered. When I unplug mine, I also get a black screen.
Good luck!
