Yes, I get that the Apple TV is not likely to be made into a server. What I was referring to was using the rPi the way you said and the Apple TV as it’s client. So, the VLC or Plex client apps on the Apple TV should work well with the rPi set up you described? Neat! Jonathan > On Dec 28, 20

Looks good. I’ve already bought two items and we are only going to keep the car another year. Also, only use the adaptor when we travel to Alabama - 2-3 times a year. But I’ll keep this link in case the stuff I have doesn’t do the trick. Thanks Lee. HNY > On Dec 28, 2017, at 2:33 PM, Lee Larso

That’s awesome, Lee! A question and a suggestion: Q: Is there a way to do something similar for the Apple TV? S: That would make a great Instructable: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.instructables.com_howto_raspberry-2520pi_&d=DwIFaQ&c=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4

I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna which we take on long trips (about 12 hours). It doesn’t have bluetooth capabilities. I have a device that looks like a cassette tape with a wire with a mini plug on the end of the wire. I put the device into my car’s tape player and put the mini plug into my iPhone.
