So I am reading about the Roku Stick.

https://support.roku.com/article/360...reaming-stick-

It is a device which supports several content sources (through "apps") and uses whatever display/ device it is plugged in via HDMI as a "display" for said sources via data streaming (internet).


I got ask, since BMW current head units supports Miracast, why not simply mirror from an Android device instead of doing the Roku thing?
Perhaps you already had one at home?

Even if one doesn't have an Android device and a purchase must be made, having to choose, why purchase and use a Roku instead of an Android phone or tablet?

For instance, free Galaxy Tablet from T-Mobile with a $11/ month data line activation: https://www.t-mobile.com/tablet/sams...u=610214659118
