Can't wait to get mine installed on Saturday

djw, you are a legend - really appreciate it as I've spent literally hours trawling the web for a copy.

Just curious did you get this one from the UK or USA site? I know there was an Asian one doing the rounds so just want to be sure it is English :)

Think you will be pleased with the unit as long as you accept that there are a few bugs :) Hopefully they get these ironed out for us (or better still someone finds a way to allow all apps to be run).

Are you installing it yourself?

Thanks again mate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
Here you go

http://db.tt/2K63ThzX

Just put it in a folder called "update" in the root of your flash drive.

I believe this was from the USA store. I wonder why they took it down. I know my unit was stuck on boot loop after the install. I had to push the reset button behind the faceplate

I got it off the UK site last week. I'm getting halfords to install it. Everything for £400 (head unit, stalk control leads, fascia and fitting) as they will install it all correctly including routing the microphone properly too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
dj, £400 all in is a decent deal, I also got the 601BT and all the bits from Halfords but they couldn't fit it for a week and I'm impatient :) Wasn't too bad to install but I would still rather someone else did it as it took me a while - routing the mic properly was def a bit of a pain.

Interesting that you're getting the stalk control leads as the Halfords guy I spoke with said there wasn't one for my Ford Focus - will have to look into that.

Anyway, firmware update worked a treat - no boot loops and my S3 is now mirroring again so thank you once again.

Cell128 - thanks to you to for supplying the file even though dj did just beat you to it ;)

I have a ford focus on a 05 plate it's a mk2. Could you measure the touch screen height and width. I've not seen one in the flesh. I told halfords I wanted stalk control and they looked up what I needed and ordered it. That part was £60 on its own. They had to transfer my headunit from another store 30miles away.

Mine is also a mk2, it's 06 but assume the interior will be the same, attaching a pic for your info. Defintiely interested in the details for the stalk controller when you get it (and how well it integrates) :)

I'm not keen on the black spacers either side of the head unit and never liked the wood effect either so have just ordered a new trim to replace it which also reduces the ford double din size to standard (so I can loose those black spacers either side of the head unit). Here if you are interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300584705931?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwilliams100:
Yeah that's the same mk2 version as mine apart from mines silver where you have the wooden paneling. We have the same stalk but your car looks like a zetec whereas mines is only LX. I have the receipt in my car so will let you know the details of the stalk control tomorrow. I want to get my microphone in the top right hand corner of the windscreen.

About full screen... found a cool thing for all who also think that sonys xav601bt virtual button tab is way too big and disturbing. In playstore is an app called button savior (non root).

No root needed. It adds virtual buttons to the device which are overlayed. You first got a little button which you dont even notice. Its to show the other buttons. Works awsome on my s4 and looks really nice in fullscreen on my xav601bt. Free version is ok but the paid version got more options like position of buttons, auto hide etc. I buyed it for 1.50€ and it was worth every cent... Now i can really enjoy fullscreen mode with full mirroring... see pics
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
How are you guys getting this fullscreen mode? I have the 601bt on the newest firmware I don't see an option anywhere
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XXtremeAzzKicker:
Thats pretty clever. I really like full screen but the buttons are a must.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwilliams100:
On the stereo, go into settings and I think it's the 4th option (far right). There's a tick box to enable or disable it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
Found it thanks alot
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XXtremeAzzKicker:
I think that app is worth of beinf mentioned on the first page and on the download page. Def a must have to be able to enjoy fullscreen on these sony decks. Great find.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prenand:
Yes definitly a must for first post ... its for all users even without root.

I just love fullscreen with that overlay buttons in my car
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
Op updated. Thanks it really is that much better without that big bar on the side. I'd throw some more donation to dev towards the app being further modified to bypass the warning messages upon startup and also that peaky weather reminder just take me straight to drivelink!! But this is probably too much to ask for. My unit is already 10x better than a week ago with this progress
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:
Warning Messages removed :good:

I'll upload the new version tomorrow evening, if you need other mods please write them.

Oh, and about "also that peaky weather reminder just take me straight to drivelink!! "

What do you mean? What i should do with the weather reminder?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
Wow. You work fast. I meant "pesky" it would be nice if it just bypasses both the warning and the introduction to weather and just goes straight to the main screen. A workaround for now is if button savior is running it will be displayed atvtje warning sign. Ignore the warning and tap the home button it will take you straight to the launcher.

Drivelink Apline ICS-X7HD

Hey All,

Would like to start off saying thank you for all the hard work, input, testing and everything else that is in this thread.

I have the SIII AT&T US model. I just got the Apline ICS-X7HD. was totally stoked and then deeply saddened. I have tried the modified version of drive link. It works but it doesnt. I can now add shortcuts to the app. When i click on them it just takes me back to the main screen of drive link showing music, NAV, and phone. My phone is completely stock. Has anyone actually gotten this to work on the Alpine head units? I know the ICS-X8HD is the same radio as mine but just has an 8inch screen on it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupe110:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prenand:
How about removing the part in drive links source code where app checks if i am driving or not? Hate that "screen locked while driving screen" when i open another apps than drive link or task manager and dont want to pull my headunit out again to hack the handbrake wire
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sailor1173:
Guess I'll be the fourth ?!! :D

Thank you AuRoN89 for making Drivelink works on my Alpine ICS-X8 and Samsung S4 !!!

I've been waiting for this app for the longest time and as soon as I bought my Samsung Galaxy S4, I downloaded your apps to "mirrorlink" it to my Alpine ICS-X8. Everything works except for the "Shortcut". To be exact, I'm able to configure and display the Shortcuts in the Drivelink app but as soon as I connect the phone's micro-USB to my Alpine ICS-X8, all the shortcuts disappear.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and pray that you will be able to find a fix to this peculiarity soon.

Thank you once again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwilliams100:
Shame our stereos don't display a nice clean display like this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nezdroid.mycardashboard
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:
Run Drive Link app first, then connect it to the unit, this will solve the shourtcuts disappearing. But, since you have an alpine, you will not be able to run apps.

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

New version changelog:

Set first-launch Volume Level to 100% (this will affect ONLY BRAND NEW INSTALLATION), if you have previously installed drive link, volume level will be unchaged.

Removed all startup warning messages.

Removed the "Vehicle Is In Motion" message, which prevented to use external apps while hand-brake wasn't ON. (

This feature need to be tested by YOU because in my car unit the hand-brake check has been bypassed).

The APK will be available in my site as soon as possibile (don't download the APK if you don't see the new changelog in the site)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sailor1173:
Thanks AuRoN89 and yes, I've already tried the method you had suggested but all my preset "Shortcut" disappeared right in my face as soon as I plug the micro-usb into the phone..... and as soon as I unplug it, all the preset "Shortcut" re-appear again.... :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclearthought:
You should try the file that AuRoN89 posted. I am able to see and add shortcuts but just cant do anything with them right now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prenand:
Daaaamn nice. I will try it as soon as I see the apk on your site and i will tell you if it works cuz I dont have handbrake signal bypassed. I will also shoot a movie to show to the others how it looks all in combination... your drivelink apk, full screen with button savior app and if it works while driving

Only issue i seem to have now is it doesn't seem to keep screen on while unless i'm in the drivelink app its self. So if i am using facebook or media player or anything then the screen times out and I have to reach for the phone and turn it back on. If just stay in drivelink or navagation it stays on fine.

Hi AuRoN89,

Great to see this thread moving again and all the activity in here. J0ep0 did some good work and gave a solution which worked for me so he got my bounty money.

BUT... You have improved on that a lot (great to see ability to add any shortcut/app and those nagging warning screens gone). So I will be using your version from now and hence another $30.00 just sent to you :good:

Do what I did. Go behind the unit or find the green wire that taps into the parking brake that was installed and ground it. Problem solved!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prenand:
I know how to do it just i dont want to. Took me some hours to push the headunit in the 2 din slot because there is no free room for all wires and adapters... after all, i realized that i forgot the bypass. That time i didnt even know about mirrorlink. Now i need the easiest solution to get it all to work and maybe i am not alone with this problem so ehy not killing this part in source code? :cool:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XXtremeAzzKicker:
Ir might just be easier to work on the other end of that wire. Find the other end where ever you taped the hand brake wire and just ground that end rather than pull your deck out.

Does anyone have a copy of the older TomTom western europe apk for 1.1.1 or earlier? I think when I updated to the latest 1.2 apk recently it broke compatibility with Drive Link and now it crashes even on the stock app.

Anyone have any idea how to get this to work under CM10.1? It would seem to be as simple as getting TMSERVER to run.

The reason I bring this up now and I think there will be a different answer than 5 days ago is that I'm hoping that since CM10.1 has reached RC status that it may support USB audio, etc.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sailor1173:
I stand corrected.... I uninstalled, clear the cache, reboot and re-install in the "r2" apk (again) and voila - the Shortcuts appeared on my Alpine set.

Unfortunately, as soon as I press the apps at the "shortcut" page , the DriveLink exits. Hence, the only "cool" stuff I can display on my Alpine head unit now is the NAV mode in satellite & traffic view :D ...... Hopefully the fix to display the "Shortcuts" like my Email, Whatapps and Torque Pro OBDII in the head unit will be found soon. :fingers-crossed:

An ICS-x7HD and Samsung S4 user

I wanted to post a thank you to AuRoN89. Best 20.00 donation ever.

I have the Apline ICS-x7Hd and the Samsung S4. With the APK that was posted (r2) I am now able to run Drivelink on my head unit as well as run pandora in the background. Here are the steps that i use incase anyone else is trying to do the same.

Run Drivelink and have it display on the head unit.

On the phone go to the main screen and start Pandora.

Go back to drivelink.

I cannot view Pandora on the head unit but I can control it by using the Play, and forward buttons located on the display. ( Steering wheel controls do not work when doing it this way. They do work when running Pandora from the icon on the head unit via Bluetooth.

Ideally i would love to be able to run Pandora via Bluetooth and be able to switch between it and Mirrorlink.

I tried to use the Pandora shortcut that appears in the list of drivelink shortcuts but like the other post all i get is the drivelink closes and it doesn't run Pandora.

Thanks again to everyone that has worked on this issue and I look forward to the future updates. It appears that the possibilities to do some very cool stuff is just around the corner

Rear video question

I know this isn't the best place to ask a receiver specific question but I am looking to buy the Sony 601bt mostly because of the work that is going on in this thread and this is the biggest concentration of 601bt owners that I have seen.

Can someone that has a rear screen tell me what gets output by the 601bt to the backseat? Is it DVD only or does it include USB video such as xvid files? What about DriveLink?

My holy grail would be to have all video sources, including drivelink piped to the rear screen but I realize that is probably not likely.
