Sony XAV-701 BT and the Note 4

Hello I am considering picking up the Sony XAV-701 BT since it seems like it has everything I am looking for in a head unit for a good price. However I need a GPS solution for this head unit. I have a Samsung Galaxy note 4 and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with getting mirrorlink working with this phone so I can have GPS on this head unit? Any help would be awesome.

Need to make sure HU is running Mirrorlink 1.1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lefko:
1.1 or 1.0? Does 1.1 work with this version of drivelink? I know I can't go past android 4.3, and my head unit doesn't do 1.1, only 1.0.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyflipj:
Everything new comes with 1.1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lefko:
Just because everything new comes with 1.1 does not mean this version of drivelink works with either the HU or the android device. I had to go with custom ROMs after the last AT&T upgrade in order to keep it working. Android 4.3 is the last known version I know that works. Also neither the Sony HU, or my JVC HU is new.

Hi,

has anyone managed to get mirrorlink to work in a phone different to Samsung Galaxy S3?

Here there are many phones certified but I only see success with Galaxy S3:

cert.mirrorlink.com/ProductListing

I've tried with a xiaomi RedRice 1 (android 4.2.2) and drivelink installs and starts ok but tmserver doesn't install.

I could try it with other phones but I'm afraid that I won't get better results.

Drive Link r3 on S4

Hello Everyone,

Successfully installed app in S4 with no issues, full mirroring on Pioneer AVIC-5000NEX. Been using it since January. I Would like to see if app will work in Samsung Mega 6.3 using MegaFire Mj2 Deodex V20 Rom. My mega has 4.4.4 and I know it wont work.

Holy crap this thread still goin? 500k visits? Cool! Would be nice to run this on a galaxy s5. Doesnt run on mine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:
If your S5 is updated to Lollipop your phone have an integrated (and updated i suppose) version of DriveLink. You can find it in Setting---More Networs---MirrorLink.

I'd like to know something more about this version.... because i'd want to port it to my Note 3 / S4.

Can you try it? It should be updated to run MirrorLink 1.1, S3 / Note 2 version is based on 1.0 so you should also check your unit FW and update it (if available)

If anyone can post ripped .apks like Nokia CarMode, that will be a big help.

I drive a Subaru Outback but was unable to successfully mirror my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and tested the following .apks:

Drive Link v.1.104_17

Drive Link v.1.1028r5 (with Full Mirroring)

Both booted in Android 4.2, but would not interface with the car. I do not know why. Do I need an older version of DriveLink?

I noticed this feature in the 4.4 UK rom for the S4 mini. It is MirrorLink version 1.1 so I suspect most dashes would not be compatible. It boots and automatically attempts to mirror when plugged into USB, but the car has to play along too. Naturally does not work for me.

TMServerApp crashes as soon as plug in usb to car

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with TMServerApp. Basically it crashes as soon as I plug the phone in to a Toyota Touch 2 head. MirrorLink starts up but immediatel an error comes that "TMServerApp stopped working". If I replace the hacked TMServerApp.apk back to the original then everything works fine but I get the "Vehicle in Motion" error.

It is strange because as long as I don't plug in the usb and just start Mirror Link on the phone it works. But as soon as I plug it in I get the crash. Seems to me that it cannot properly repress the errors from the Toyota Touch 2 system. The language on the head is set to Hungarian.

I use Drive Linke 1.1.028 r5 version on NeatRom 8.3 (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-neatromlite-themed-aroma-mods-t2060403)

Actually I don't need to have full mirroring while I am driving, I just want to get the latest TomTom GO Mobile to work as my Navigation app. At the moment I am stuck with Google Navigation, but I often go to places where I don't have internet and I like TomTom better.

Is there a way (without doing the hardware brake bypass) to make this working? Does anyone have this working on a Toyota Touch 2?

Thanks a lot for any help :)

S3 Mini

Wondering if anyone had got any farther with S3 Mini GT-I8190N?

I'm happy to do any testing necessary (but I'm not the most android-literate soul ever!) and will be pleased to reward success!

Currently on UK orange -NXXAMJ2, have root access, and at this time any version of drivelink I've tried installs fine but when run blackscreens then "has to stop".

There is a TMServerAPP in system/app, but I don't seem to be able to copy others in: CWM Recovery reports a code 6 when I attempt to copy any of the versions in this thread in.

Anyone have any ideas on where to go with this?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mijondano:
Hi,

I've been doing some research on this subject, including logcat on different versions, modded and original.

In my Toyota Auris Sports with toyota touch 2 (without "GO") unit, the app works OK on a GS3. With lollipop 5.1 "native" mirrorlink, it does not work. It's mirrorlink 1.1 though, so I guess my unit supports 1.0 only.

Now the results of my research. I've been playing with the app (both modded and orig) on a GS3 mini (GT-I8190N) stock 4.1.2 jelly bean rom. For the record: This model has a stock TMServerApp.apk. When I run the original app on this one, logcat shows this:

Using apkstudio and then a text search, I find this:

<public type="layout" name="vehicle_motion_layout" id="0x7f030038" />

Then a file search shows vehicle_motion_layout.xml under res\layout-sw360dp-v13 in the directory tree of the output of apkstudio which is weird, because the app complaints about the missing resource and it is indeed there!

If i try the modded one, results are exactly the same.

I tried also on a GS4 with lollipop 5.1 albe95's rom. The logcat here looks like this (again, identical with modded and original versions):

After some googling I found out that sqlcipher libraries support up to lollipop 5.0, not 5.1 as I'm using. I tried with the latest binaries anyway, to no avail. If someone wants to try with 5.0 and post his/her results, the binaries for sqlcipher for android can be found here (can't post links):

https : //s3.amazonaws.com/sqlcipher/3.3.0/sqlcipher-for-android-community-v3.3.0.zip

BTW, the original Drive Link version I'm using is 1.1.043

EDIT: I should have started by saying I'm far away from being a dev or any kind of expert.:laugh:

Drivelink on the Galaxy S4 9505.

In order to make the program a bootloader kitkat drivelink be set through ODIN bootloader kitkat NB3 or NB8. Then you have to install via Recovery Full Wipes with the latest firmware 4.3. I used echoerom 12.1. The result was a 4.3 with bootloader 4.4.2. Make all the initial settings, and install any version of the program drivelink. And WOW!!! the program works. My galaxy S4 9505 operates in this mode for two weeks without a single failure and the most important thing connects to my toyota touch 2 in the FULLMIRROR. I used the program drivelink 1.1.028r5 FULLMIRROR with my modifications. I rewrote the program to include the usb-modem on my s4. Without this toyota touch 2 did not see my phone. Good luck !!!

A battered gs3 is on it's way to me by chance for test purposes. Perhaps if I get Drivelink running on it I can then look at comparing the two devices and going forward from there.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpmiller:
sg3 is here. Drivelink full mirroring works on the phone, but stops when attached to the car. Should I copy over the TMserverAPP that comes with it?

Unmolested Drivelink works fine on phone, connects to the car, and Sygic works happily on it.

Thus far, the only caveat seems to be the Mirrorlink turns off the FM source when it opens. There's a button on the HU's screen to select a source and it'll open the radio back up again, but it won't play the radio *and* hold the map open. Hmmm.

Same issue...

Did you find a solution to this issue? I have exactly the same, i tried odexing the file with different ways, it shows in the notification are "TMServerApp is running" but once connected to the unit it shows "stopped working" message.

GS3 international, stock ROM, 4.3 on Toyota Touch 2.

I see that someone here reported it worked on stick ROM and i odexed it as well, but it crashes, so can someone help, at least to tell us if it is the unit or the app issue!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minagerges:
After attempting several ways to odex it, it always crashes when connected to the unit (TMServer stopped working), GS3 international stock rom, 4.3 on Toyota touch 2 unit, any ideas ?

Perhaps, we can get a DriveLink version from AuRoN89 with some white List apps, the most common to use (waze, here, Sygic, etc.) so we can avoid the TMServerApp issues !!

Of course I would pay for such enhancements.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpmiller:
Looking at differences between devices (and why Drivelink may not work on some) do we know what dependencies the app has, anything other than TMserver?

One of the glaring differences between s3 and s3mini is that the baby doesn't have HDMI out, nor does it have mirroring built in. Is mirroring added by the difference between 4.1.2 and 4.3, or is it a collection of files that need added?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpmiller:
...and a simple question.

If we're listening to the radio (internal FM tuner) and select mirroring/drivelink, the radio turns off when drivelink opens and connects. The HU has a soft button on screen to selct a source when the mirror is open, but it just drops out of mirroring back to source selection.

Is this an HU function or a command from Drivelink?

Oh, and very few apps actually mirror correctly- Sygic looks great, I can scroll through Task Manager but Torque and various others just show a light blue screen with the caption "mirrorlink is running" on the HU.

anybody?

Hi guys

here a temp link for the new TMServerApp.apk

Please beware that you still need android 4.3 rom deodexed (ATM), and based on touchwiz. This is not for 4.4+ rom.

You need this file only if you have android 4.3 and can't get the old tmserverapp running. If you already have a functional tmserver you DO NOT have to replace it, because this will NOT work.

Istruction remain the same that you can find on the first link.

yeah that's the app I found, seems to be something Sony are doing with other headunits (that don't have an LCD display). As I said though the fact that this was released only recently (end of last month) does at least mean their Car/Android integration team are working on stuff and could mean they drop their own mirrorlink app on the play store soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0ep0:
That Sony app isn't the Car app that is shown before. It seems quite interesting as it mirrors the launcher.

Was playing around a bit. With the following actions you can connect to the phone with VNC when DriveLink is started, however it asks for a password (or .key file):

adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901

Ultravnc: localhost:5901 (Turn on useDSMPlugin and select MSRC4Plugin_for_sc.dsm)

probably useless info, but better too much info than too little.

It seems this radio has some quirks, but it all around is great I think. I got a nice phone mount as well and don't really care as much as I did about drivelink.

I'm on it.

I've done some 6 or so hours of decrypting the code in this app and have managed some simple customization's but I have not yet found the piece that automatically switches back to the DriveLink app when you manage to get out of it into the android operating system. I'm thinking it could be part of the mirrorlink apk that comes preinstalled on the phone. I haven't had the chance to decompile it and look through it yet but I will try to do it tomorrow if someone can post a link to it or PM me, if not I'll just yank it off my phone. I own both a GS3 and the 601bt so I'd like to get this working as well.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
Guys, just wanted to share this with you - found a way to get full internet browsing on the headunit - not sure how much use it really is but it's a fun feature :)

It seems that any app running in a 'windowed/overlay/floating' mode on top of everything else will run over the Drivelink application (and display/key presses will still be mirrored for that particular app). I found this as I use a brightness control app that works as an overlay in the notification bar, using this means that when I plug my phone into the headunit I can easily dim the display of the phone from the headunit as the overlay works on the top of Drivelink. The free app is here if interested: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1YmJlcmJpZ3BlcHBlci5EaXNwbGF5QnJpZ2h0bmVzcyJd

So, this got me thinking about the pop-out video and other floating type apps and so I looked for a resizable browser and came across Overskreen (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myboyfriendisageek.airbrowser&hl=en). Some of you may already know of it and it's not free (£1.50) but if you run Overscreen, then start Drivelink, Overscreen will remain on top. You can hit the little blue button on the top right (or drag the bottom right area) and it will go full screen for full screen landscape internet browsing in the car (with Drivelink still running underneath and so maintaining your connection to the headunit). If you are running Drivelink and want to jump into the browser just make sure you ran it recently (so you can access it by holding the home button and selecting it from your recents list).

Any good? :)

--

This whole thing also got me thinking in a different direction, I read something recently that suggested that just modifying the app to leave just the protocol may end up being more complicated that we hoped (still fishing for a Dev though to confirm this). If that truly is the case then another route may be to edit Drivelink so it becomes a resizable window, this way you can start it and then minimize (/shirnk it down to a few pixels) still leaving the rest of the screen to run anything you like underneath it.
