    I have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum with the rear entertainment and have been trying to figure out a way to connect the Blackberry to the rear entertainment so the kids can enjoy Netflix or play video games on a long drive.

    As most rear entertainment systems, The input is Composite and not HDMI (except the high end Honda Odassey Van) so the first thing that needs to happen is to step the signal from HDMI (digital) to Composite (analog)

    here are the pieces I used to make this happen.

    An HDMI to Composite converter from Amazon. Make sure you get this one. Amazon.com: ViewHD Universal HDMI to Composite / AV Video Converter, Support PAL / NTSC Standard TVs: Electronics

    This one doesn't work, I've tried already.... Amazon.com: Mini HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter for TV/PC/PS3/Blue-ray DVD, White: Electronics

    Connected my Blackberry Z30 w/ HDMI to Rear Entertainment of cars. Here's how-dsc00068.jpg

    An Micro HDMI to HDMI converter cable.

    I have also figured out a way to send an HDMI signal through VGA using a 3rd party HDMI to VGA projector dongle. Only thing you need to do is get audio cable for audio signal.

    Order this part from Amazon to make this happen. Amazon.com: HDE Micro HDMI Male to VGA Female Video Converter Adapter Cable for PC, TV, Laptops, DVD Players, and Other Micro HDMI Devices: Computers & Accessories

    The fit and finish on the Durango is not at the Pathfinder/Highlander level.

    I have a miracast dongle. Its too laggy.

    I would guess he is stating his personal opinion, based on him having viewed and/or been inside it.

    I figured, I personally find the 2014 Durango the best looking SUV, interior and exterior, but having said that I've driven the pathfinder and highlander also so I know what I'm talking about
