[Q] S5 Lollipop error with pioneer 1.0 Mirrorlink - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys, new to this forum so plz be gentle. Been reading this forum for a while now so hoping you guys and girls with expert knowledge can advise me if there is a work around or root i could download. Anyway, heres the problem, have a pioneer avh-x3600dab hu in the motor with the additional pioneer CD-ML100 smartphone interface and been using the samsung galaxy S3 with it with the drivelink app, i know the drivelink app has connection problems but it was okay as all i really wanted to use was the google map app on the hu. Well having updated to the samsung S5 i eagerly awaited the lollipop update but when i connect the S5 it comes back with a connection error even though the s5 says mirrorlink connected. Pioneer say cos the hu is running 1.0 mirrorlink and the s5 uses 1.1 then tough, pioneer cant or wont be updating the mirrorlink. Is there anyway i can get the drivelink app running on the s5 or is there another way to miiror the s5 screen on the hu. Thanks guys in advance:laugh:

The same problem here. Pioneer's support told me there is no way to do work in S5 because of the mirrorlink 1.1... I tried ARU, ARL, and nothing... after 2 months I give up. But my model is avh-x2780bt...

Lollipop & MirrorLink (or DriveLink)?

Question for anyone who takes the new Lollipop update. Can you check and see if your phone has either MirrorLink or DriveLink, and what version if it's there? It could be in its own app or it could be under Settings.
Some of the earliest reports mentioned MirrorLink and I've got my fingers crossed that we will have it...
Thanks in advance!

It has MirrorLink and DriveLink, but I can't find the version number for MirrorLink. DriveLink Remote is version 1.

Thanks! Now I just have to figure out how to actually get this to work with my 2015 Honda Civic. It's supposed to support MirrorLink 1.1 (which is different than and not compatible with the popular MirrorLink 1.0). My first late-night experiment of just plugging it in to the car's USB port didn't work and the "Connect to vehicle via USB" box stayed grey. Hopefully I can get it going somehow.
have you manged doing it with lalipop ?
what app did you use
i have a toyota auris 2015 and panasonic system

[Q] lollipop + mirrorlink + honda civic 2015

Hey Ive recently received the lollipop upgrade on my gs5 and just found the mirrorlink setting Which got me excited to try it with my new honda civics display audio head unit. I let my phone connect to the HU with Bluetooth then I plug the samsung usb3 cable into my phone and it starts connecting to mirrorlink on its own. This worked about 3 times in the hour I spent trying it this morning with sygic car nav and miroamer. I just can't figure out how it works sometimes and won't connect others even from the mirrorlink settings turning on and off. Anyone else get this working??
Update: it worked again today just buy plugging it into the car's usb port while the phone is unlocke andd the screen goes black and says connecting. Then these right arrows show up on the head unit I click them and I can access my mirrorcast certifield apps.
Nine out of ten times though I plug the phone in to the car and nothing happens except the mirror cast settings say that mirror cast is active although the screen doesn't go black and doesn't connect.
Im just trying to figure out if the problem lies honda or samsung. Can anyone confirm this is working for then?
There are a couple threads over in the fitfreak forums about this same issue as well (2015 Fit and Civic have the same head unit). Mirrorlink is hit or miss and it seems there is no real way to have it initiate 100% of the time. Most people find success by having the phone unlocked and being in the mirrorlink settings menu when plugging in the usb cable. If that doesn't work, try unplugging and plugging in the usb cable a few times in rapid succession. It seems to kind of "trick" the system to recognize it. I also found better success with the usb port on the dash instead of the one in the center console (not sure if the civic has one in the center console).
I have both a 2015 Fit and a S5 and have yet to find a real use for mirrolink. I have one weather app that has mirrorlink support, but the screen goes black once you go into drive. I have yet to find a worthwhile app that supports mirrorlink.
If you happen to come across an app that is interesting let me know!
Hey Thanks for the reply.
I'll try rapidly connecting and disconnecting it. It seems to work about 1 in 15 times. The main app I would use it for is sygic car navigation it is designed for mirrorlink however it's like $40 after the trial. Also miroamer is a Internet radio app that works with mirrorlink those two are all that I know of.
same in honda City 2016
Just to let you know I'm facing exactly the same behavior with my S5 lollipop 5.0 and my Honda city 2016 head unit.
Sometimes it work, sometimes not. I also tried with lollipop 5.0.1 and get the same.
Now I'm back in lollipop 5.0 rooted, I'm trying to install drivelink to see if this could work, I will let you know any news
At this moment I only get working miroamer and sygic
update:
I upgraded to a galaxy note 4 and now mirror cast activates every time on the same 5.0.1 lollipop firmware. I've found a few more apps to try as well
-Glympse : see where your friends are on a GPS map
-parkopedia : find paid parking or free spots
-bringgo : GPS app not as nice as sygic
-audioteka : expensive audio books
And then miroamer Internet radio and the best one sygic car navigation which I just installed on the note 4 and will try out tomorrow omw to work.
Maybe the s5 will get a small update and fix the issues however my girlfriends s6 would connect then say incompatible phone on the Honda dash so not sure why that is.
Mirrorlink + Your OEM + Desired App, What to Expect
My wife just got a 2016 Honda-HRV and we've come across a lot of the same experience as others. I've done a little research and I just thought I'd share what I've come across here. Sorry for the obfuscated links, first time poster I'm not allowed to put external links in
After finding that Sygic works with mirrorlink while in Drive mode, I started researching Mirrorlink and looking for an SDK to see if I could create a basic app that could do the same (even if it's just hello world in drive mode).
I came across this Mirrorlink presentation by Ed Pichon - www slideshare net /bemyapp/mirrorlink-hackathon-workshop-presentation-by-ed-pichon
This is my best shot at interpreting this. If anyone is more familiar with the process, please feel free to chime in.
In summary (Slide 24 gives a good conceptual)-
- You have to design your app to CCC guidelines
- There's at least a "Base" requirements and a "Drive" requirements
- If you want your app to function in Drive mode, you have to comply to both sets.
- You Submit your app for certification and it's reviewed and lab tested.
- If certified, your application is signed with a private certificate held by the CCC/ Certification Body
- That signature contains a representation of scope that the app is approved for in the various regions (US, Basic - EU, Drive, etc)
- Your OEM Head Unit has a public CA (Certificate Authority) certificate that can verify the signature on the compatible mirrorlink app and grants the various scopes.
So from what I can tell based off the above presentation as well as the below link, Sygic has gone through this certification process and proven that it's car navigation app complies with the CCC drive standards (at least in the US, I haven't tested elsewhere). - www mirrorlink com /apps/Sygic
So what you need to look for to tell if you're going to have decent support is -
1. - An OEM that supports MirrorLink (Best to contact your OEM or read OEM documentation, not the dealer, for credible specifics) - mirrorlink com /cars
2. - A Phone that supports the correct level of MirrorLink for your OEM - mirrorlink com /phones
3. - A certified application for your mode and region (eg, Drive and US vs Park and EU). So far the following site only has what I assume to be a very incomplete list? - www mirrorlink com /apps
If you don't have AT LEAST those three things, I wouldn't expect much. I'm sure there's always going to be ways that people get around controls and I'm not interested in that, I just wanted to share what I came across to set expectations for people who are looking for things that Just Work. Hopefully Google and other larger app devs are going through this process to make their apps infotainment compatible though I'm not sure how big of a barrier the process is. I plan to join and try and create an app and get it certified and document the process.
Hi,
I've tried connecting my Samsung s6 edge to honda city 2016. After some time, it shows that "smartphone is not compatible".
Can to pls detail the steps you are doing to connect it to Honda city car and your car's Firmware version.
Thanks
I have the same problem as above only with Samsung galaxy s7 edge and Honda Civic 2016! Please help! Everything is switched on, certified and it should work. Except it doesn't...
Doesn't work with Samsung Galaxy S5 & Honda CR-V 2015. Same issue - "Smartphone is not compatible".

Same here. And the 1% of the time it does launch all the setting are going and have to go through the initial setup. So annoying. Have a '16 Escalade.
I have no issues on Ford Sync 3, even is better than before with P20 Pro where it was not loaded usually on first time. Maybe try different cable?
On your display scroll over to your mercedes connect and choose it. You should see boxes to check for android auto and apple carplay
Had the same today with my new car and S10+
Resolved it by installing APK for Android Auto from APK mirror.
I chose "armeabi-v7a" variant from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/android-auto-5-4-5022-release/
Hi, what version you've used? I have tried 5.4.50and it doesn't work. I mean the app works, but it wont connect to my car.
