Rooted with Malaysk's latest ROM

For the past month or so, my phone (HTC M8) has flawlessly mirrored with my Head Unit. THEN came a Marshmallow update. Now my HU/phone mirroring is as follows;

1) Plug Phone into USB port.
a)bug icon shows on phone's top banner
2) Press Easy Connected on Head Unit
a) Four blue bars on HU light up as expected
b) Phone now asks if USB should be used for Screen Mirroring (can only press "Just Once", because "Always" is grayed out)
c) I have tried several different ways to deal with 2.b., but I get the same end result
3) Phone enters Drive Mode (I have also turned this off, but no different result)
4) Head Unit spins its wheels for a while, then claims to enter Screen Mirroring, but all I get is a blank screen with the "Home", "Back", "Exit" buttons on the bottom
a) Phone itself never shows on the Head Unit.

As an aside, I tried to use my phone on Chromecast last week. It look forever to play a single YouTube clip, and when I tried to play a different one, "play" and "pause" would work, but it never actually went to the next video. Pressing play on my phone would start the second video on my phone and also start the FIRST video on the tv.

Any ideas?
Thanks

I also have the same problem. I changed my Note3 on GalaxyS7 and said goodbye to ScrenMirroring :( I really do not like it. Autoradio should update to Android Lollipop and the problem would disappear. But if even our AndroidAutoradio live to see the renovation :(

My new phone updated to Marshmallow last night (against my wishes and despite my efforts to stop it). Now I'm back to not working.

I'll try that updated app, but I'm not holding my breath. All my searching has revealed threads where people have said that the apk will not update and I have not found a single example of someone with Marshmallow who has Screen Mirroring working.

I am pleased to report that the above update to EasyConnected worked and I am now able to mirror my phone (Marshmallow 6.0.1) once again.

Hopefully someone like xterm305 will come along again and provide a link to an updated .apk.

In the meantime, try rebooting your head unit. That has worked for me in the past when my phone wouldn't mirror (but, that was not when it updated).
