Hello,
I bought a new indash for my truck the Sony xav-601bt and it supports mirrorlink technology for gs3. Pretty much the unit becomes an extension of your phone all the way down to playing angry birds on it if you wanted to. However I cannot connect it and after searching and speaking to numerous Sony tech supports that had no freakin clue of what to do I found that Samsung neeeds to release the app for it to be compatible. If anyone has it or runs into it I would appreciate it if you posted it here. Its supposed to be released on 8/29 from a rumor I read. It goes by the name Samsung drive-link I believe. Any help is much appreciated

I have the same problem - I installed a xav601-bt in my car wanting to use mirror link. Google maps is so much better than the $2000 nav unit in our brand new Honda Odyssey ... but I digress. I saw that Sony-asia has released a firmware update for the unit. Took my chances and installed it (NOTE THIS: had to take off the faceplate and press reset to get it out of the reboot loop) installed fine but neither the "mirror link" nor "telenav" app work. Properly. USB device not recognized. I understand I need an app for the phone. Mirror link or drive link. This will be perfect if they get it to work - I want my Google nav to display on my head unit. Controlling it would be bonus. C'mon Samsung, get it going!

One nice thing I did find though if you pair your phone with bluetooth then click on Bluetooth settings for sony automotive you can enable not only calls but audio and that way you can still listen to everything that goes on in your phone such as spoken turn by turn navigation, music, YouTube, Netflix,etc. Still can't wait for official rollout though. I wonder how they will get around the "USB device not supported" error message when plugging in via USB

Sony America released the firmware update on Aug 14th. (My birthday!) so you don't need chance the Sony Asia update anymore.

Can't wait for the app from Samsung to drop so it will finally work.

I have a Galaxy S2, and just bought a XAV-701BT. The guy at the store said that I would be able to use mirror link with my GS2 when the app was released at the end of this month, but from what I am reading it looks like it will only work on the GS3.

Does anyone know if I will be able to use mirror link on the GS2?

I have already installed the new firmare on the XAV-701BT

If anything i'm sure the APK will be floating around the web somewhere.

Yes unfortunately it will only work with Nokia and galaxy s3 phones at the moment

Thanks. Sounds like I will have to go and have a few polite words with the guys at the store for not knowing what he was talking about

Keep a Eye on this thread too, looks like a common problem having to reboot after update...

just ordered the same unit but i have a galaxy note... really hope it doesn't take long for the mirrorlink apk to be ripped from the S3. that is if it ever drops =P

I found this video on YouTube of someone running mirrorlink on a galaxy s2 and when they ran it, this app called tmserverapp seemed to run. I found the apk file I will try and play with it later anyways here's the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsT1l8bLOfU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Here's the apk file needed at http://d-h.st/GrA
I think it needs to be moved into the /system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r

I tried to add the apk file with no results. Also when i try to install the app I get this error "there is a problem parsing the package". Maybe someone can figure a way to install it

Maybe because you have the international version. On the us Verizon version it is not there. Either way if you already have it, there must be something else missing then

Yes I'm pretty sure it is. They originally said only the s3 would support mirrorlink maybe it's a software thing were any android phone can run it I wouldn't know.

It seems you need a UK account to download the app. I will try to make a fake one later to try and download it.

Edit: I made a UK account but I still can't download any apps when I try to log in with the Samsung app it says account does not match country. I tried to change the time zone in Settings to UK and that didn't work. If we could get someone from the UK to download the app and upload it for us it would be great
