Hello everyone,
so... i just bought a new App Radio 4th gen from Pioneer, is think its the SPH-DA120.
I use my iPhone to CarPlay, and it´s great.^^
But now i start thinking about a Raspberry Pi with an Android Rom or XBMC Rom to connect via HDMI and use the touchscreen of my new Pioneer Radio.
Via Hardware it´s impossible, i think. HDMI does´t support touch signals, right ?
That was the moment i realized, that i only have to emulate the Mirror Link protocol from Android devices:
Connect Video via HDMI, connect RaspPi via USB to my Pioneer AppRadio and boom => Touch XBMC version.
So there are 2 Problems:
1. How to connect the Pi to a USB port of my Radio ? Or is there a Bluetooth way ?
2. How can I run a Mirror Link Server, so my Radio recognize my RasPi as a Android Device with Mirror Link ?
I just checked the Mirror Link Source, its VNC.
Did anybody configured his VNC Server in a way, that the Radio recognize it as a Mirror Link device ?
Thank you for your tips and information, i would really love to make this happen!
PS: If my writing is´n correct at all, ignore the language not the post ^^

it´s about XBMC, Android is just useful for Mirror Link....
But i like the way u think, i´m also n iPhone Power user ^^
I was having the same dream, but unfortunately Rpi doesn't support USB device mode.
At least model B, B+ cannot as they Mount an USB hub.
Theoretically model A can do, but at the moment I have no info on how to get.
I some other people has some issues regarding this, they're welcome!
Any update on this matter???

Has anyone been able to get Mirror Link up and running on the 6P? It's not one of the certified products for Mirror Link but there are zips to get the server and apk running.
I would try it but I dont have a compatible car yet, hopefully soon XD
Add persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 to the bottom of your build.prop file in the system folder, save, and reboot. Enable miracast in the cast settings in the settings app as well with the 3 dot menu. You'll need root to do it.
I'm using miracast to cast to my appradio
Yup this works

Sorry if this is redundant or off track, but could you please explain further. I added "persist.debug.wfd.enable=1" to build.prop via root explorer text editor and saved. I rebooted the phone then navigated to Settings/Display/Cast, hit the three dot menu and selected "Enable wireless display", nothing appeared. Am I missing something? I'm on 6.0.1, rooted, stock with a 2016 Subaru with Clarion HU.
The only other thing I did was turn Wi-Fi on
Mirrorlink (usb connection) is different to Miracast (WIFI) so are people giving advice on getting Miracast working when the OP asked about Mirrorlink?

What exactly are you trying to do? The tweak to the build.prop listed above is all you need to enable Miracast devices on the 6P. And that is the only way to do it, AFAIK. It worked for my phone to cast my phone to my Pioneer NEX stereo.

OP is talking about MirrorLink (mirrorlink.com), not Miracast and as far as I know, those two are different things. What i'm trying to do is connect my phone to my car with MirrorLink technology (which is more than just screen casting).
Mirrorlink is something built into the device, either your car has it, or it doesn't. There are no zip files to install. On the phone side you need the appropriate vendor client app installed. It isn't more than screen casting really, it just has a wrapper that controls what the casting apps can and can't do like chromecast. What mirrorlink enabled car stereo do you have JoeyXD?
My car does have MirrorLink built-in and it works with other phones (i.e. Galaxy S5). But as OP mentioned in his first post, Nexus 6P is not certified MirrorLink device. So to put it simple, is there any way, to make Nexus 6P work with MirrorLink enabled car "stereos"?

I was referring to it as how I use it, sorry. My Pioneer NEX stereo has Mirror Link and I connect to it using a Miracast device, Screen Beam Mini2 plugged into the HDMI port. Or at least, that's how I believe it works, using Mirror Link.
And you're right, it can do more than mirroring with the right app. I use App Radio Unchained and have the full functionality of my phone on my NEX. Pretty neat stuff.

If you are using Miracast into HDMI then you are not using Mirrorlink. That is done over USB. AppRadio Unchained does not support Mirrorlink

What car is it? How are you launching it on the S5? Most head units need the phone to have the application also on the phone end to initiate and control the Mirrorlink connectivity.
The 6P is not Miracast certified either, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work. Maybe a description of how it does work on other phones for that particular car will help diagnose. Mirrorlink essentially works in a similar way to Chromecast without the need for the internet connection. It still needs a client at the phone end to work.
Has anyone figured if nexus 6p can have mirrorlink enabled ?
Thanks
I have a Screen Beam Mini2 and when my nexus tried to connect to the Screen Beam Mini2 it reboots.. I have enabled the wireless display option...
Still waiting on some kind of solution here.
Any updates, guys?

Had MirrorLink functioning on my 2016 Toyota Aygo with a Samsung S7. This was my bosses phone, I have a Nexus 5 - Searching, fruitlessly for a solution. But here is how MirrorLink (Not MirrorCast!!!!!) seems to work in my car.
Hit connection button on screen in car
Connect phone
Wait a few seconds until connection made
MirrorLink apps appear on in-car screen. Phone screen goes black with S7.
Note - It doesn't seem to mirror. It uses certified apps. Which is fine, if the phone even works.
I did read that Google deactivated MirrorLink on their Nexus line because it is illegal to have a MirrorLink device forward of the drivers seat in California. This could just be internet speak.
I am dying to use this feature and not replace my phone
Hope someone could help me with this. I have been using an iPhone for the last 5 years and in such I have a Pioneer Appradio 4. I am trying to see if I could make the android jump and purchase a S7 edge.
My Appradio supports mirrorlink as well as Appradio live which is garbage.
What I have been reading is there is no Mhl / hdmi support on an s7. However mirrorlink is available on the phone. Is anyone able to confirm that the S7 will connect via mirrorlink on my Appradio? I have been looking everywhere for an answer but most of the stuff is for the older galaxy phones. Sorry if I'm a bit ignorant to searching android stuff I've been chained to iOS and CarPlay for too long.
*Side question-- with Miracast do you lose all connectivity to cell data?
Thanks for all the help in advance
If your Pioneer Carplay head unit supports also Android Auto you can use this method for connecting.
Miracast doesn't interfere with the phone running data connections (wifi or mobile).
Unfortunately it doesn't support android auto. Which is pretty lame.
I dont't know about your head unit, but generally Mirrorlink should work also with the Samsung S7 Edge.
Thanks for the info now my only question is will it work with ARunchained reloaded once this is set I'll be ordering my Galaxy and getting off this iOS nonsense

For that app to work it's required to root the Galaxy S7Edge.
Anyway, if you're not used with Galaxy rooting, Knox and related possible Samsung warranty limitations, you can find these information on the forum. Moreover, to be able to root you need to buy the Exynos version, not the Qualcomm 820.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/index-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-t3382679
Okay good I found it on the website it has the exynos processor. Once it's rooted and I change everything I should be able to run this app then? I messaged Area51 hopefully he will message back regarding it. Thanks again for all the info and help.

Yes it works
I can confirm you that Galaxy S7 works with mirrorlink and the AppRadio 4. The sound and video quality are simply perfect. I have been using MHL before with Sony Xperia and ARU, mirrorlink is better. The only issues are the restrictions that mirrorlink implements in the navigation, no recent apps none slide notifications, etc. Hope some friend could mod "Samsung Mirriorlink.app" to break freee these limitations but also in the current situation i recomend you to use mirrorlink with Galaxuy S7 because as I said, the stability and quality are just perfect.
appradio 4 mirror link
did u have to disable android auto?

so it will only work with rooting your s7 edge? if so how do I root my s7 edge? I to want to use mirrorlink with the sph-da120
I Just installed the SPH-120 and I can only get my Galaxy s7 to connect to blue tooth. Tried the developer mode with USB debugging, Switched to MTP configurations, and both USB ports along with multiple APPS. and I cannot get it to connect.
When I connect to the second USB port, Both the phone and radio attempt to connect but the phone screen shuts off and the radio says incompatible USB (original cable).
Hi how do you connect wich cables you use to get it working like you say?

I just created an account here so I can add a reply in case anyone struggles to get MirrorLink to work. I got an SPH-DA120 to work with my Samsung S7 Edge. I went through the same process of connecting the phone, seeing the connected message on the phone screen, and then the SPH-DA120 screen says "Incompatible USB." I thought it was an error but it was simply my failure to understand MirrorLink. You have to first get a certified MirrorLink app on your phone and then choose the home button (or whatever it is...looks like a Windows 7 start menu) and your certified MirrorLink apps will show up there. When you choose the USB/Ipod2 source the HU will always say "Incompatible USB." In my case I used RockScout, which then gives you access to everything on the phone by selecting a "Choose Source" option--that mirrors your phone's screen and provides a gateway to everything on your phone.
Maybe this process is common knowledge about MirrorLink but I spent way too much time googling this and trying random things to get the phone to connect. Something else worth noting is you need a high quality USB cable. The HU seems fine with USB extensions (even cheap ones) but it requires a high quality cable to connect to the phone. Some work, some don't. Not even all Samsung cables work.
One more thing...I actually contacted Pioneer's customer support to get assistance with this. To my surprise they replied to my initial email within an hour. That's impressive for customer support at a large company like that. Admittedly I figured out that the USB cable was the problem shortly after I sent the email but the quick response from them was nice.
Can somebody confirm if a non rooted Galaxy S7 can MirrorLink using rockscout while in motion using the 7000nex soft touch bypass? Trying to mirror every app and function while in motion using the nex. This includes YouTube, Google maps, chrome etc
Great information here. I just started driving a Jeep with appradio 4 in it . I have a galaxy s8 plus. Any advice what to do?
Still stuck with my note 8. Stock android Mirrorlink works but very limited. I tried with rockscout, button savior, LG mirrordrive app etc to screen mirror my phone but n way. The only fault is with Messenger pop-up showing nicely on my car screen. So I tried rooting my phone with magisk and hide my root but the Mirrorlink app is not working anymore. When connected to my phone it says authentification not valid... and the database is no more the same when I want to add some apps in pkgnames...
Hi,
I have problem with mirrorlink pioneer sph-da110 with galaxy s7 edge when I connet via usb I see mirrorlink in appradio. I click in mirrorlink then I see Lg Mirrordrive an I choose this after that I have dark screen and nothing else happens. Somebody can help my where is problem?
Hello,
i have succesfully been able to update YD206 to newest firmware for Europe thanks to this forum here - thank you very much for that! It is really a beautiful device which offers a lot of hope for future releases of e-ink smartphone, tablets and compters.
wondering if there is a Firmware which has drivers for ASIX AX88772 Micro USB 2.0 to Ethernet Adapter included. Alhough i am able to use Bluetooth PAN for delivering Internet to the Phone, sometimes i would like to use Ethernet Adapter, especially at night.
Hope there is someone who can help with this.
Thank you very much,
Richard

Which version of Android are you running.
The drivers might not be in 4.4
Iit was running 4.4 i think . did not work.∑
The above video is my review, i have it working great with my ownice c200 headunit. the usb seems to register that to the iPhone that it is a CarPlay device. the CarPlay UI apparently is stored and sent from the iPhone its self to the usb dongle and then sent to the android app. the app then sends touch and audio commands back to the usb dongle and then to the iPhone.
i can send photos of the internals of the device to any one who wants and a link to the APK.
MOD EDIT: removed email address and mention of selling head units. XDA is not a place to make money!
great !!!

First Step: updating the CAR PLAY USB DONGLE
Plug in the car play usb dongle on the PC, copy the "update.bin" file under the root of the dongle, no extra file folder and no any operation, just wait for 5 minutes, it will be quit automatically after updating, then pull off the USB dongle.
Second Step: Uninstall the old version ZBOX softare from the car audio, then intall the new one, then it will be ok to work.(With the new APK in the attachment and follow the manual)

The issue you are experiencing with the zbox having 'stage-fright' has to do with the power requirements of the zbox device. Some USB bus' don't provide enough power (or borderline) so functionality is intermittent. If you use a powered USB hub, that provides additional power to the USB ports, you'll have almost no issues.
I have connected a y USB adapter.
Has anyone tried one of these on a PX3 RK3166 head unit?
I have one but cant get it to work.
It connects to the apk but wont connect to the iphone.
Tried the update to firmware and apk, still no joy.
Not sure if i have a faulty dongle or it's a compatibility issue with these head units.
Alibaba seller suggested not enough power on head units usb?
I have the same problem with one of these.....
I have tried three android units now and I still can’t get them to work....
Android 4.4 it says its connect but the iPhone just shows as not found....
The other two are both 6.0.1 and the zbox just shows connecting all the time!
If any one has any help it would greatfully be received..
Or for that matter any software updates.....
Mine is showing apk: 2.1.0
Zbox versions: 2.1.0
Many thanks and kind regards
Mine works and I have a px3. I updated the device and installed the latest zbox app before I tried it. I would try swapping out cords and making sure they are certified by Apple. The only issue I have with mine is that it cannot be controlled from the steering wheel.

I use a second usb-plug and a y-cable to provide sufficient power to the device.
What do you guys do with regards to phone calls? My phone is obviously paired to the head unit via Bluetooth, so whenever I get a Call, it jumps out of CarPlay/zbox to the Stock phone interface, however the phone still transmits the audio to carplay and not via Bluetooth by default.
How any of you solved that problem?
If you are using CarPlay why do you have Bluetooth paired? Every car I've been in with CarPlay diconnects the phone from Bluetooth.

I have an Eonon GA7157 running a:
CPU: Allwinner R16 1.6GHz Cortex A7 Quad-Core
RAM: SAMSUNG DDR3, 1GB
Storage: 16GB
I have tried App and Firmware 2.x and 3.x. No joy. All I get is "Connecting" when the usb dongle and app is started. It never gets passed this "Connecting..." stage. USB devices like keyboards, mice, USB Flash drives, and even video camera work fine on this headunit. The Zbox Z1 and an OTA tuner don't work for some reason.
I did some more troubleshooting and found out the following: The dongle works perfectly on my PC running Remix. I also tried it on Samsung Table A; on this one, same symptom as the head unit, so I tried using an OTG cable and what do you know, it worked perfectly.
Therefore, I have 2 possible explanations: The headhunt's USB cable needs to be hardwire as OTG or Eonon somehow has decided to block certain type of USB devices that request data asynchronously. Why? I have not clue... I wish I could disable this flag in the OS, but I have not clue where it can be done. My headunit is rooted, so it should be possible in theory.
Hello, could you post pictures of the internals? I'm very curious what's inside the lil dongle. Also: do you still have some of the dongles? haha
