Does anyone know a way to connect the HTC Desire HD to a beamer or TV (or.. What i'm ultimately looking for, the Video-input of the Toyota Prius built in LCD).

Thanks!

DHD doesn't have a TV out option, maybe the hardware is able to do it, but don't get your hopes up.

only option i see to get content to a screen is via the DLNA option, which requires an DLNA adapter for your PRIUS.

this way you still cant get a screen view there, just photo's or video's or sound.

if you want android in your car, perhaps a cheap china tablet could work for you that has TV out?

Do you have any Suggestions on that?

I was a bit let-down by the fact that my Prius could infact import the contacts from my phone, but not the contact pictures to browse through.. Obviously, to get the whole interconnected experience, you'd also want the touch screen on the car relay it's input to the phone... still a bit to much to ask for, I think...

Thanks for the tip!

Its not possible with the DHD, sadly. All you can do is stream audio/video with DLNA. But no screen mirroring for games or anything. I dont really care because i would never use it anyway. At home i have better devices that i can hook up to my tv :D And my girlfriend has an old TV without hdmi so... If i wanna take a movie to her place i put it on my DHD copy it to her laptop hook the lappy to the tv and off we go.

If the hardware wasn't put there by HTC, it will NOT work.

You say it NOW works? How? The hardware wasn't there to begin with, so cannot be there now.

it works for me..using mhl cable for HTC sensation...plug it into ur hdmi tv..there u go...i play my games on tv...
Please post some proof of you getting MHL working on a DHD. I have that MHL usb cable which works fine on my friends Sensation, but I doesn't work on my DHD using any rom. I've tried ICS, CM7, stock and custom roms based on stock. None of them will detect the mhl cable.

When they actually become available, the Raspberry Pi could be good for getting DLNA on TVs. A lot cheaper than anything specifically for it (but you'd also need a wifi dongle)
