Hi everyone,
do you know if there is a way to connect my S7 edge with Toyota Touch 2 (without GO) through Mirrorlink?
Thanks.
well, mirrorlink is a connection protocol, and you can only use mirrorlink certified application
old LG Mirrordrive won't work on newest android versions
you may simple install sygic car navigation
or if you're able to program, you could modify RockScout (opensource) to get waze or other applications working

Hi All,
I have recently bought a Galaxy A3 and would like to use it in my car (Siziki Vitara 2015). The car has a Mirrorlink capable head unit. When I connect the phone to it the connection is established instantly. (The phone displays the "Connecting" message during all the time it is connected, but it may be normal...)
The problem is that the only certified application deployed on the phone cannot be started on the head unit. I tried to find more applications certified for Mirrorlink but with a very little success. The only one I was able to install is the Sygic Car Navigation, which is also buggy. (it is not possible to exit from the app. on the cars display and takes over the head unit completely making all other functions useless.)
I read about applications like "Drive Link" and "Android Auto", but they are declared incompatible with my A3. (Starting a car dock application on my A3 pops up a message about completing the operation - switching to car mode - with different applications: "Car Home Ultra", "Android Auto" and "S Voice". Selecting "Android Auto" leads to an error...)
So, I am really confused about usability of Mirrorlink this time. I would like to ask you about experience with these applications. How to find more Mirrorlink certified applications like car dashboard, navigation, etc.. Is it possible to make applications like "Car Home Ultra" or "Bee-on-road" to work with Mirrorlink?
Anyway, I am interested in anything you may know about this topic.
Thanks in advance!
I struggled 3 hours to make the same phone work properly with the same HU in a 2015 Vitara. I wanted to mirror the whole phone display. No luck.. Only Sygic worked, and some mp3 player if I recall correctly.
Then I tried to connect my Z3 Compact, with same results.
Drop it for now... There are no useful apps that you can enjoy on your HU. All we can do is wait... and search furiously every day for more apps that support mirrorlink.
Hi,
I do have an A3 but I cannot have MirrorLink... on the HUD of my Yaris shows nothing. Talking to Toyota they said I should check A3 settings on "More Networks"|"MirrorLink"... however I cannot find such setting on my A3...
As you can connect to yours, do you have that setting on your A3?
Thanks,
I purchased a Hizpo 8in 5.1 radio and the damn thing has the Bluetooth restricted.. it will not allow downloaded apps to connect and obd2 scan adapters to connect as well. I purchased OBDLINK LX doesn't work but does require a password so I returned it and purchased a KIWI 3 with Bluetooth 4.0 no password required and the damn radio doesn't even recognize it.. I've updated it to the latest ROM version 1.92a... I hate the fact the Bluetooth app in the radio will not allow you to disable the password.
Plus if you do a factory reset the Bluetooth handsfree app for the phone is lost plus torque pro and who knows what else is lost...
I'm looking at the EONON GA6153F is this deck any good? It states it has bluetooth 4.0. I want a android deck that will work with the KIWI 3 OBDII. Does anyone have any suggestions?

So I can answer that question for you, I currently own both the GA6153F and a KIWI 3.
As of yet i have not been able to get the Kiwi3 to pair with the head unit. I've only had the unit for about 2 weeks and I'm waiting on feed back from Eonon on this and a couple of other things.
I am able to use the kiwi3 with my iphone6s via dashcommand for iOS with no problems. I've tried the following on the HU; dashcommand, carista & torque none of these would see the kiwi3. I'd get a message that read "turning on bluetooth... please wait" and yes bluetooth was already on, the apps would just stay stuck at that screen.
When I'm in the HU's bluetooth pairing screen it does not show/list the device.
hope that answers your question and saves you a little bit of aggravation... if they can resolve this issue I'll post an update.
Hello,
I just bought a new Android cardvd system with Android 8 installed.
I can use the mirrorlink from my Android smartphone to my Android cardvd.
But is it possible to connect my phone to the cardvd where my phone is the remote, not the host? (kind of remote control)
Thank you

a. I am a normal user, mainly need to use Bluetooth for phone calls, GPS maps and spotify. I realized that the caller apps does not allow me to put short cuts (quick dials) to my favorite numbers. Is there any way I can do it?
b. It is rather useless to have a headunit if there is no internet connection. I have my HP for WiFi tethering, and also a WiFi dongle. Both doesn't work well because the head-unit can only detect WiFi upon restarting the system. I am not sure why, If I were to shut off my engine, start it up again. The system will not be able to detect WiFi.
c. My head-unit comes with Zlink (apple car-play). Okay, this is funny. I connected my iPhone to the head-unit, but upon connecting to zlink, the Bluetooth connection is cut.
d. I intend to get the ELM327 so that I can see those cool gauges. But can the head unit support both ELM 327 and my iPhone Bluetooth simultaneously.
e. Lastly, do I really need to root it to get it perform? I am not good in all these.
For advice pls.

Can someone give me some advise pls
Hi Tweakmax,
i have the same version as you have. i bought mine from Isudar and is currently installed in my skoda.
A)I'm also not verry happy with the dialer app. First of all, the app is called bluetooth and has a bluetooth icon while it is a dialer. The contacts showed up after 2 hours!! The default launcher does not support custom widget elements such as a shortcut to person. I suggest installing an other launcher.
b) I'm not expierencing this problem.
C) My usb ports don't work. How did you manage to install car play? I have android Auto. By the way. Why do you want to use car play if you have an android head unit?
D) I can confirm that the ELM327 is working. Make sure to unpair the OBD2 dongle from your phone. Then unplug/plug the obd2 adapter.
E) root is not required. You can install other launchers and install APK's.
