Hi, I'm interested in a video interface with HDMI input (for Iphone connection). Will the MB-PAS-151118 (https://car-solutions.com/en/video-inte ... th-pas.php ) work in a Mercedes W205 with Audio20?
I'm I able to use the rearview camera and the HDMI input?
Or is the IW04-MB14N a better option?
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
https://car-solutions.com/en/video-inte ... th-pas.php fits Mercedes W205 with Audio20 .

I'm I able to use the rearview camera and the HDMI input?

Yes.

Or is the IW04-MB14N a better option?

IW04-MB14N has more AV inputs.

Thanks for the answer. I'll order the PAS-TDC2

I've received the PAS-TDC2 today (compliments to the very quick shipping service!!) and installed this in the car.
Unfortunately no display on the HDMI input. The rearview camera is working perfectly, but connecting an Iphone 6 with lightning/HDMI adapter to HDMI results in black screen. Toggled with switch to nav, dvb-t, dvd, but still black screen.
Please advice.

Hello.
Please try another HDMI device for testing.

Today I've checked with a android device with MHL connection and an android box (minix X5). All the devices via HDMI is giving a black screen and red led is blinking, with message no signal. I think the port is not for HDMI. If I plug these device in the front video port with an AV cable they work fine.

Please provide a short video of the issue.

This has the same behaviour with an android phone with a MHL cable.

The point is: I really want to use the HDMI port instead of the av port with the extra adapter.

Set HDMI in the menu of the video interface https://prnt.sc/jbvn07 .
Also, MHL and HDMI are different standards, direct MHL connection won't work.
