Did a bunch of searching but couldn't find an answer I could understand.

Can you play movies on the rear screen from iPhone plugged into USB on 2013-15 LC?

If so, how do you do it?

Also, for those that have done chromecast/firestick or other, was this only on 2016+ models? Anyone done this on a 13-15?

If anyone has done this, any details on how it was done?

Thanks!
 
Nope. From what I've read the USB port is only for music. I wish you could use a USB key with a movie on it.

If you want to play movies from something aside from the built-in DVD player you need to plug something into the aux input. I was looking at building a raspberry pi with Plex Home Theater (rasplex) since I use Plex Media Server at home. If you like Chomecast you could probably use an HDMI-to-composite converter (https://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Converter-Google-Chromecast-Composite/dp/B00Z81EY8K).
 
thanks! Frustrating that you can't use the USB. the amazon item should work, obviously quality won't be great. thanks!
 
Yes IIRC composite video is 720x480, so just plain DVD quality.
 
Check out Prestigious Society. They have the solution your looking for.
