Hi,
I know there are several threads knocking about already on this topic, but they don't quite give me the answers I'm looking for and they're old so I don't think I'll get a response to my reply.
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/help/to-add-mirrorlink-t3631587 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/test-mirrorlink-t3678192)
From reading these threads and looking around the rest of the forum for the XZ2 Compact I'm sort of gathering the impression that in order for this to be possible I need to root my device (which I don't understand), but that would cause all sorts of complications with something about DRM because Sony doesn't support this... Why is root required? Is there a way to do it without? Can any of this happen on Pie or does it have to be Oreo?
I have a lot of questions but I suppose the most important one is can this even be done? Because I'm more than happy to continue trawling through the forums trying to figure my way through the various steps, but with the amount of complications and issues I'm reading about I don't want to go ahead with this if it's not even possible to get Mirrorlink working.
Any advice or tips or anything would be greatly appreciated!
