The inverter is connected to the front 12v cigarette lighter. If someone wants to use Apple TV, the driver connects it, otherwise it is off. I'm using a 12v extension cable as the converter cable is too short.
Apple TV is connected to the HDMI port in the back. I use the original remote control to select the apps and channels.
I'm using the Wi-Fi Hotspot function of my iphone 13. Unfortunatly Apple TV does not connect to the iphone automaticly, so I've to do it manually. I didn't find how to do it automaticly. As I told this works on 5G, so it works very well even here in Switzerland. Sure sometimes the picture blocks, but that is rare. If I use the car Hotspot (4G) its not so smooth.
I agree a professional would do a better build, but this is based on my knowledge and very simple to do. And it works! Also you can remove it without trace.
I've tried also a smaller inverter. But the fan was to noisy. The one I got is silent.

Nice set up! If only Apple made a smaller version of the Apple TV like a fire stick. I actually have been using a fire stick or a external thumb drive. I think I like the external thumb drive option best
