Thinking about buying a Amazon Fire TV Stick and using the Miracast feature to display my phone navigation to my nav screen. The phone nav is so much better than the build in nav. Also could use a few other fun APPs as well.

Reviews on that HDMI converter already state that it doesn't work with the Amazon Fire stick, but good luck. I don't think this will work. Plus you'll have a bunch of cables since you'll have to power the converter via USB.

4F0051510AA It's an old model, be careful because it is known that Audi does not like different combinations of hardware
Good luck
