Touch & Go 2 - Mirrorlink

Recommended Posts

Has anyone with the new Touch and Go 2 system used the Mobile Mirrorlink option?

Tried, but didn't succeed. Also could not get the system to use my mobile internet connection. Will be looking for some guidance on the internet.

Guess you had no success either?

Thanks mate, no still waiting on the delivery of the car and was looking at the future options for the ICE, noticed the Touch and Go 2 had the mirrorlink option so was looking forward to getting it going, failing that i guess a headunit swap for an Android unit would solve all of the issues.

I've never seen the option on mine but when reading the other day saw it actually exists, only ever tried an iPhone though so might be Android only?? Mobile internet connection works a treat for me though, I simply turn on tethering on the phone, and go into an app and it asks if I want to use my phone for internet, easy peasy, phone doesn't even have to leave my pocket, so I can tweet whilst I roll around car parks all day!

Update :)

Picked up the Pro Thursday and love it.

Update on the Mirror-link & Internet Sharing, i now have both tried, tested and working.

Mirror-link - It seems Sony in the infinite wisdom have gone and removed the Mirror-link feature from the latest flagship phone (Xperia XZ Premium)

fortunately i retained my Xperia Z3 which is still a decent phone and supports Mirror-link so i could get it running.

It takes a few attempts for the HU to see the phone and vice versa via a USB connection also you have to enable it manually each time from both sides.

Once enabled you are presented with a Mirror-link icon on the HU, from here you can select Mirror-link compatible apps on the phone or simply screen mirror.

It works but its very lag heavy so no video playback and a slight delay as you move around the screen i personally don't see myself using it much and im a big Android fan.

If you need an Android system upfront i would recommend either replacing the HU for an actual Android HU or adding a tablet using a bracket - http://gt86mounts.com/shop/

Internet - iPhone worked first time, i simply paired the phone via Bluetooth with the HU and i was able to use all of the built in apps via the phones internet connection without enabling the Hotspot mode, however this is a work phone so i cant be using it for general data.

My Android Xperia XZ Premium also connected via Bluetooth for hands free and music profiles without issue however it would not allow Internet access until i enabled the "Bluetooth Tethering" option in Settings - Tethering & portable hotspot, this is however the correct behavior as the Internet sharing is via Bluetooth.

I hope this helps others.
