New Update

Good Morning all,

I like a lot of people am waiting for the fix to allow mirror link / drivelink to work on my Samsung S4 running 4.4.2. While i wait for that i was checking for any other update for my head unit. I have the Alpine ICS-X7. I found and update that looks good but i can not get it to install. i called Alpine Tech support and they said that since the update is for the Asian units it might not work. I am going to keep trying. If anyone can make it work please let me know the steps.

Have Fun,

Ken

working mirrorlink with Navgear DSR-N 370

I think the first unit that obviously really works with most of the modern Android smartphones is the NAVGEAR DSR-N 370 (navgear.de/Autoradio-PX-8324-919.shtml), an Android car radio and navigation system (with Android 4.0) and an 6,2" touch display, which is produced by a Chinese OEM manufacturer called SUNMiyo and which is sold in Germany by Pearl, in Germany used to be known as a trader for cheap Chinese electronical gadgets and toys. Look at the compatibility list for the mirrorlink function of Navgear,( pearl.de/pdocs/REF83241_11_135556.pdf ) (regrettably only in German but I think you can read the model names). As I read in German blogs the mirrorlink function really works without any problem, and that without the need of a not working Samsung app "DriveLink"! The unit has a double DIN size, but Pearl showed this march on the CEBIT a device with single DIN mounting and a 7'' slide screen (Navgear DSR-N 310), which seems to be technically identical to the Navgear DSR-N 370 (except for the size and the display), but it is still not on the market.

I could not find the Navgear DSR-N 370 offered by anybody else than Pearl in Germany.

It is unbelievable that the big manufacturers like Samsung, JVC and so on who are members of the mirrorlink consortium are not able to produce really working devices but wait for an unknown Chinese OEM manufacturer to make them look like a fool!

Since the HU is "Mirroring" the phone, if you blank the phone screen, the HU Display will blank out too....

It'd be nice if during Navigation, you could blank out the phone's screen, but unfortunately, at this point in the software's settings, you cannot. :<(

You may notice, however, that the phone's display goes DIM after a while, but not off....

SG4 (9500) 4.3 runs partialy

Hi,

Some applications run 100%, while some (e.g., whatsup, waze) are not mirrored and a message like: "Now MirroLink is running" is on the car's screen (the SG4 shows the app OK).

Any ideas on how to make them work on the car?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atrus_SS:
I am going to apologize in advance for my questions - probably very n00b. I've read this entire thread (yes, the 150 pages of it) more times than I'd care to admit.

Here's what I have:

Verizon S4

JVC NSX-700

Rooted, running Jelly "Beans" V7 modified Touchwiz ROM - this includes Nova Launcher

Installed V5 of FM Drivelink

I have two issues that I have noticed:

1) If I launch the Drivelink App on my phone (whether connected to NSX-700 or not), the app launches fine and I know I am using the proper V5 revision. I cannot add anything in the shortcuts menu. Music says "no playlists" (I DON'T have playlists on this phone though - I DO have music), Contacts says "No Contacts", Location says "No Location", and most importantly, if I hit More Apps, the screen goes to a blank drivelink screen (the greyish background) for about 5 seconds, and then the app closes completely and dumps me to my homescreen.

2) I get a "USB Error" on the HU screen whenever I plug it into the NSX700...drivelink fires up just fine on the phone (launches itself), but nothing on the JVC other than "USB Error". I've tried launching it and then plugging the phone in, and no luck. The phone is paired as I can listen to music via the JVC bluetooth "app".

I've installed both stock and full drivelinks - neither work. I've cleared DAVLIK and Cache multiple times, no impact. I've reloaded the ROM twice. I am using the stock cable that came with the JVC. I've actually gone through the supplemental Alpine steps for the heck of it and overwritten my TMServer.apk with the one bundled with full drivelink.

Any ideas? Seems this should be working given my setup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:
IF even the stock drive link isn't working it's very probabily a firmware (rom) incompatibility.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atrus_SS:
Cool - I like this ROM but I am not married to it. I'll peruse the thread for another TW ROM someone had success with that I can flash and I'll try it out.

Since you're the expert - any recommendations? I'd like to retain the TW Camera features, IR Remote, etc.

And, thanks for the response!!

Try this:

Connect Phone to HU.

Go to settings on your Phone and turn on USB Tethering.

Now Open Drive Link App.

Now open Mirrorlink on HU.

After Drive link app loaded on Phone if your HU is not showing Mirror Press Home button of your Gs4.( which will close the app and reload the app)

Now you should see the mirroring on your HU.

This process worked for me on Gs4 4.3 Drive link(Original) Sony Xav 601Bt HU.

Good Luck.

Hi guys,

did someone find a solution to make run the mirror link with 4.4.2 Androïd ? I also asked Samsung to know if they will put the 4.4.2 udpate soon but I didn't get any answer yet, they just told me that they will ask it.

I tried it, various versions - but none helped. I also checked parking and parking breaks, but the problem remains. I can see google's map, but not waze. Waze works on the SG4, while the HU shows "Now Mirrorlink is running"... Occasionally, the HU displays the SG4 screen for couple of seconds - on opening or closing (returning) the application (Waze, chrome, etc.).

It is strange. It looks like the protocol doesn't handle the stream, or the SG4 screen resolution is too big for the HU.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atrus_SS:
Yes, I actually quoted myself - I figured it'd be easier for someone following my issue/progress to see what was going on.

So, I ended up doing a clean install of Beans 7 - it's a modified TW ROM. First thing I did when it booted up was install the modified DriveLink app. I launched the app, and am able to add shortcuts - as noted above, it would previously kick me out of the DL app when I tried.

Something else to note - when I installed this ROM, I had used a backup program or two to restore my apps. The phone was kinda wonky since I did it - certain apps wouldn't update (youtube, esfile explorer, etc). Maybe that had something to do with it.

Anyway, I'll try to connect to the HU later tonight (I don't have the vehicle with the JVC at the office with me). If it works, I'll get the rest of the phone set up properly (my apps, etc). I'll make sure to update this thread once I try it out!

Search for Screen Standby. It makes the phone give a persistent black screen so it looks off. You still have touch panel and the radio thinks the screen is still on. My phone hasn't been overheating anymore or losing the charge as fast as when the screen was always on.

An update is that all is working well! I DID have to turn off my wifi on the phone, otherwise, it doesn't want to connect. Seems like a strange bug, but no big deal as I am sure I can figure out something in Tasker to have that automated.

So, one question I still do have...I'd really like to have my SiriusXM online streaming app working on this, and it doesn't seem like it wants to. Any ideas as to why? Anyone have a list as to what apps do and don't work? I'd like to use Pandora (I don't think this app worked either, but I'll have to confirm), SiriusXM app, Slacker. I don't remember the exact error message I had gotten, but I think the Sirius app responded with "Not available when driving" or something similar.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kan-g:
Hello Guys,

How did you manage to have a full mirror with your Alpine ICS-X8 and a Note 2 (GT-N7100) with a rooted stock Android 4.3 ?

I'm not able to have it work.

I also tried with:

S4, S4 mini (I9195), Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5.

All those devices were tested with different version of Android rooted (4.1.1, 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2)

The only device who give me a stable, but not full mirror is the Sony Xperia Z1 with Android 4.3 native or the S4 with Android 4.2.2

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Have a nice weekend.

I can see mine over Bluetooth but I can't store them onto the unit so every time I want to call someone it loads for a few seconds and it won't let me set the speed dial either because it does not have the contacts stored onto the memory.

IM exactly the same as u
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
yeah sorry guys - just had another play and it IS the same for me. I thought you were talking just about receiving them from the phone and displaying but you are correct - the option to store them to the internal memory just sticks at 'waiting'.

Wondering if it is the headunit/firmware though or perhaps the phone (a bit of googling shows others have had issue with the S3 sending contacts to various car systems).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
SOLUTION for saving Contacts to internal XAV-601BT memory

OK, I don't like giving up on these things - a bit more reading, some searching on the play store and a lot of fiddling and I've cracked it... It's not the headunit, the S3 is definitely not sending over the contacts, so...

Download a free app from the play store called "Bluetooth File Transfer", there may be others that can do this but this is the first one I found that specifically mentioned contacts in the feature list. The app takes a few secs to load up and is full of ads but all good and you can unintstall it when done if you like.

Hop in your car, Bluetooth on, fire up the app and click the big Bluetooth logo on the top right and you will see your headunit in the list of devices as "Sony Automotive" or similar. Click on it and make sure it connects with you headunit (goes through three little checks). Now stick your headunit in 'receive contacts' mode, click your phone menu button to get the additional in-app menu at the bottom and you will see an option to 'send contacts' you will then be able to select your contacts and send them all or individually to the headunit (Tip: the little star symbol in the app points to a 'select all' button and using ‘send multiple’ over ‘send single’ options when doing bulk will be quicker). Once you've 'sent' them from the phone if they don't go through straight away you might need to go back to the main menu in the app and select 'Sony Automotive' again to sort of sync it (you will see a progress bar on the phone when sending so you will know when they are going through). You may get some warning - something about the headunit not using OBEX FTP or OPP profiles or something but it still all works.

This took me a few tries to get it right and the above 'guide' may not be quite accurate (it's late, I'm tired and I'm doing this from memory after 15mins of persistence!)

I assure you that this works though so if you get stuck I will do it again and provide better instructions.

Once they are all in the internal memory pick a contact/number and in addition to the 'call' button there is a 'preset' button you can select this to add a contact to the 6 preset/quick dial buttons.

Let us know how you get on :)

Alpine ICS-X8 with firmware 1.2

International Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with official stock ICS firmware 4.0.4 XXLH1

The latest DriveLink app update worked the first time but now I just get a message that my phone isn't supported. :( Tried re-installing app with no change. Still doesn't work.

This list can be found after decompiling in the /assets/ScmDatabase.db file. Drive link checks if the software is installed, e.g. if you install TuneIn you get an extra button onder Music.

Agreed on both accounts. I thought there was a larger swell than there's turned out to be (thus far).

It's looking good already even without a developer having formally signed on. j0ep0's discovery is great. Thanks j0ep0!! If that file isn't the actual authorization mechanism in itself (wouldn't that be sweet), then we look at the code that either reads or writes to that file.

YW. Unfortunately it isn't the only check. There are several references to the actuall NaviElite package in several files. With replacing all the references to jp.co.aisin_aw.navi.navielite with e.g. com.sygic.aura, including the earlier mentioned DB file , Drive Link recognizes Sygic is installed (names it NaviElite, but that doesn't matter it's only cosmetic).

Last step in using another NAV app besides Google app is starting it. It's beyond my knowledge to implement in LocationUtil.smali the following code and calling Sygic:

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("com.sygic.drive","com.sygic.drive.SygicDriveActivity");
