I’m using a screen casting app (based on Miracast) and it’s working well.

So our first Sienna (2022 XSE was totaled in march) didn't come with the RES which is how we wanted it. Now, our replacement 2023 AE, has it. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to be able to use our Fire tablet to show on the RES.

I bought a USB-C to hdmi converter, but just getting blank screen in hdmi. Could be the conversion box I got doesn't work with this system? Idk.

Has anybody had any success getting a fire tablet to work? What adaptor and hdmi cable did you use?

I can mirror my Samsung to it, but then I can't use my phone. I have a old Samsung I can mirror but it doesn't have enough storage space to save stuff to.

I'm trying to do this without having to Hotspot or use wifi, so the roku, firestick won't work.

 

Which app? And are you paying for it?

 

My .02 are in link below.

In short, I say get another cheapy Samsung with enough or extendable space.

New Sienna Owner- Question on the Entertainment option

Hi all, just picked up a 2023 Sienna Limited for my wife last night. It took 7 weeks from build to delivery. We didn't realize that the Entertainment package didn't come with a DVD or blu ray player. What are you people using to play videos for the backseat passengers? We have this great screen...

Yeah, I got my old galaxy s5 to work, it just doesnt have enough memory to save movies to, so I'll have to buy a new microSD card. Still would really like a way to get the Fire Tablet to work since we already have it and already has everything we need saved to it.

 

Also the fact that I cant play music via bluetooth while using miracast is pretty frustrating.

 

The Fire HD10 cannot cast nor can it output video through its USB port. I went around in circles and tried a bunch of different things (trying to connect to a smart TV, not a Sienna). It won’t do it.

I ended up buying a Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite. Screen cast to Vizio and LG smart TVs works great.

well thats good to know. Sucks, and pretty crazy that amazon didn't have that capability.
