I have just ordered an E Advance. I am thinking about the best way to watch Amazon Prime/Netflix. Is it worth investing in a chromecast/fire stick or similar (which I can plug into HDMI and 230v socket for power) or am I better screen mirroring from my iPhone in some way wirelessly/wired? In respect if WIFI I am aware the car has capability but is there a way of using my WIFI hotspot on my phone in the event I went with chrome cast/fire stick (or similar) as described above rather than paying for a Vodaphone data subscription as well? Apologies if these are stupid questions - I am not that tech savvy! Cheers everyone for your advice.

I recommend a FireTV stick and a 90° angle HDMI adapter. With the latter the device does not stick into the room.
The power supply is via USB. WIFI either via the Hotspot from the car or via tethering of your phone...

The best way to watch it is on a nice, big 4k tv :)

I have also google tv and there is no need to plug it with the 230V plug. Just plug it using the left usb of the car. It looks better and works normally.

If you've got it flaunt it :lol:
Using the 3 pin socket allows me to turn it on/off and use the main traction battery when I want to rather than have it powered on all of the time via the 12v battery.
