Hi Guys,
Inspired by the post "Apple TV, Tech Mods, and More" in the A6 (C6) subforum (Apple TV, Tech Mods and more in Audi A6 - AudiWorld Forums). I decided to try my own setup for streaming entertainment tv in my 2013 S6.
Components:
Roku 2 XD - $79.99 (alternatives: Roku 3, Apple TV)
AMI A/V Composite Cable - $0 from dealer (Red, White, Yellow cable)
5V/1A Car Adapter/Power Inverter - $9.79 Radioshack
Steps:
1) Roku box comes with A/V cable that plugs right into the AMI A/V Composite Cable.
2) Either use an inverter + power cable that comes with Roku, or go to Radioshack and buy a direct Car Adapter that outputs 5V/1A
3) Turn on car, select media, Roku will boot up, very easy and intuitive walkthrough that will use the internet through Audi Connect Wireless
4) You are streaming Netflix, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, Disney (+600 other channels) in about 30 minutes.
Notes:
- Output through A/V composite cable is 480p (very clear on MMI screen)
- 3G connection is fast enough, takes 30 seconds on Netflix to start a movie, no buffering or stopping during trip
ENJOY!
