I was looking to see if there was compatability with either AppRadio 2 or Mirrorlink for this phone. I haven't been able to find any info yet. I'm hoping someone here might have an idea, or have tried it. I keep coming across Drive Link for the SIII, but nothing for the Note II.
Kind of wanted to do a bump/update. I have installed Samsung's Drivelink on my Note2, and it seems to work just fine. I haven't tried connecting it up to a Mirrorlink device yet. Has anyone tried, or had any success?
For anyone looking for Drivelink there is a link here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34024429&postcount=353
BUMP. Looking to invest in a good head unit for my GN2. I've been holding onto my iPhone 4S and using it as an ipod in my car since my car has decent ipod integration but no Android integration. I've seen some videos of people getting Appradio 2 working with the GS3, so I presume the GN2 shouldn't be a problem. But just want to make sure as BestBuy's website shows a review of someone complaining that AppRadio2 does not work with the GN2.

I have been reading about this car stereo since CES and cant wait to purchase it. Though I can't find any information on whether the Galaxy Nexus will be compatible with the app. It was announced that the SGIII would receive it but has anyone heard about the G Nex getting it? If not, hopefully the dev community will be able to port it over...Here is a link to the actual stereo...

It runs on android is btw.
Double din comes out later this year.

I considered that one before the Sony one was announced. I like that I would possibly be able to control Rdio on a large screen and it connect to my steering wheel controls (with an added accessory) and not have to fumble with my phone. Plus the option of my passengers being able to watch DVD's and Netflix is pretty cool.
Ya that would be nice for em. As far as the release and the features of the double din I'm not positive but its in the works. I work at a car audio shop and we had a webinar with them and said it was gonna be bahdass. Also the pioneer aporadio 2 has HDMI output and has optional MHL cable for android
... also it would be sick if it were possible to root and develop a custom from for a radio. Seems interesting not sure if source would be available though lol. I know they had updates on there sight but don't remember seeing code. They gotta give us something though

Ah yeah it would be amazing to have a custom rom on a car stereo.
I just need a stereo that I can control Rdio and a few other music apps from so I can get over not needing/wanting the pogo car dock...
Not sure about the Sony you are talking about since the company I work for doesn't carry it but anything with Bluetooth a2dp is the way to go as far as android goes the USB interface sucks for android devices reads ringtones and pretty much every audio file there is as well as shows every folder you have. Not to mention I can't connect to a single deck through USB because of mtp . So yeah. I would highly recconend actually testing the head unit you are interested in and make sure it works the way you want it to because car audio is pretty depressing when it comes to android compatability
Sent from my Maguro
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I will wait for a local car audio store here in Houston to have one on display first.
Ya that's definitely the way to go about it. like I said car audio hasn't shown android no love... everything is made for apple -.-

Awesome, Houston here too. I have been looking for more info on Mirrorlink as well. I started this thread trying to gather some, but not much headway has been made. I cancelled my EVO 4G LTE because it was not advertised with Mirrorlink compatibility. Waiting for Sprint to get the SIII next month hopefully.
http://www.mp3car.com/android-table...ink-xav601bt-701hd-android-ish-head-unit.html
I am very interested in this myself and since Nokia is the most supported brand I am hoping that we will see some Windows Phone compatibility in the near future. I did think it was pretty funny that all the phones supported except one were Symbian though, I thought Symbian was on the outs.
FYI the XAV-601BT is out now.
But nobody reviewed that device yet
Has anyone tried pairing a mirrorlink enabled phone to the head unit and test it out? Im planning to buy this head unit in the next quarter so i'd like some advices.

HI, just as an alternative, i bought the Alpine ICS X8 with mirror link, as yet it doesnt support my galaxy s3...
The Sony XAV-601BT just received a firmware update (get it at the Sony support site) that adds support for the Galaxy S3. I can't tell you much about it as I have the Nexus. Hopefully some ROM devs start to incorporate MirrorLink into their OS builds. From what I read in another thread, it isn't as easy as just getting the APK from the S3.
As many of you are probably already aware, Hulu does not work with HDMI out on Android. I assume Hulu is protecting themselves against some sort of piracy that would be possible if this feature did work, or perhaps their network partners have requested that that it be blocked? I know Netflix works fine streaming through HDMI, so I honestly don't see why we can't get the same from Hulu?
Anyhow, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any hacks or work arounds to get HDMI out to work with Hulu on our Note 2? I have 3 TV's, 2 of them Smart TV's, and the one in my bedroom is not. So, when I hit the sack I'm unable to watch Hulu. A couple Google searches have yielded me nothing helpful, so I thought maybe I'd ask here as a last resort before I breakdown & buy a Google TV Box, most likely Vizio due to its inexpensive price tag. (Yes, I'm that big of a Hulu fan, it's the only way I'll even watch TV, lol)
Thank you to anyone who may be able to offer me a solution for getting this working with the MHL adapter, and also for taking the time to read this post!
I have the same problem and don't like the fact hulu doesn't support hdmi out. I also use, Jetflicks. It works fine with the mhl adapter. At times, it may update shows 2 days later, but, hey I can at least hook my phone up to my tv.

Hey all,
Anyone try the Sony XAV-601BT with the Galaxy S3 yet? I know it supposedly works, but was wondering if any of you had actual experience with it. Sounds like a dream come true. I don't think I'd even use the full mirror link capability but just knowing its there would be really cool, and mainly I'd be after all the controls available... Play music through my phone via Bluetooth, play CDs, XM, hook my phone in via USB to charge (free up my cigarette lighter adapter). Make calls via bluetooth. Seems to be a serious all in one situation, and the added mirroring would be great.

It's not a "dream come true" yet. It's a toy for geeks. I just got it and it seems like it might be a source of frustration. My wife has the S3 and I have the Note 2. We'll see how it works out. So far I have my suspicions that my wife will be in FM or CD mode most of the time. We'll see if she does Pandora at all, and I'm hopeful that she will actually use the phone. But mirrorlink/drivelink has already been proven to be buggy for me on day 1. Sometimes it works.. sometimes it requires a reboot. Not exactly a dream if you're on the road. I'll keep you updated though. So far I can't find a 2013 firmware update.
I looked at this head unit for a while but ended up going with the Pioneer Appradio 2 (SPH-DA100) and love it so far. Look into it and the app ARLiberator. It is a pretty slick combo. I got a great deal on it at Best Buy (open box) for $235. The only extra thing you need is a set of cables to plug into the back if you don't get the pioneer set.
Hey guys,
I just heard about this little marvel..
http://www.asus.com/Tablet_Mobile_Accessories/ASUS_Miracast_Dongle/
Has anyone try this? I really want some sort of Airplay functionality for my tablet, its around 100$ but if it does what it says it does, i think its worth it.
So, anyone have one?!
Edit: got way to excited and noticed its not release yet... Lol. So who is getting one?

No clue about this guy. I have a Netgear PTV3000 that works pretty well for screen mirroring. I use it for streaming media. For gaming I use the Analogix Slimport since wireless mirroring addsd latency.
Would like to hear people's reviews about the Asus product as well. I guess will have to wait till it's release and someone tries it out.

I'd recommend downloading Allcast Beta
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/12/01/koushs-allcast-beta-enters-the-play-store/
Works for all kinds of devices Smart TV's, Apple TV, Google TV, Roku .... I'm pretty sure any DLNA device as well.

AllCast is definitely a great video streaming option, especially for the cross platform (I have only tested it out on my Samsung TV). But, it is rather limited, at least at this time. Currently, it will only stream videos that are on your phone. It won't display pictures, stream other video services (Netflix, VUDU, etc), or even do mirroring. Hopefully, it will have these features in the future.
As for a mirroring device, I have high hopes for the ASUS Miracast Dongle. Hopefully, the dual bandwidth will cure the latency issues with the current wireless options. Unless I see reviews of it being a complete failure, I will be purchasing one of these.
Anyone seen when these will be released?
$100 for this is just crazy... and people complain about Apple's pricing?
android tv stick is a better choice
i recommend to buy an android tv stick like tronsmart mk908 or t908. it is a standalone pc stick and can even sstream everything via miracast.
it is much cheaper. chromecast or asus dongle are very limited of its functions.
cheers
they can't be serious with the name "Dongle"
here is another Dongle to keep an eye on

Pretty sleazy warranty policy. Bet they ship it back to you via a buck or two's postage.

cannot expect to much for 35 bucks...gonna keep an eye out for some reviews.
bought a tablet from them a couple of yrs ago, never had any probs, they been around for awhile now...yet you never know until it happens......sure beats throwing 100 bucks out there without knowing.
you can get some very cheap miracast dongles.
I've got one of the measy a2w ones
http://www.futeko.com/products/AC076.php
that works with all my other android devices, presuming it'll work with my n7 when it turns up (won on the kitkat promotion)

Im curious to see if this one works as well as they say it does. Just not wanting to be the test rat for it atm... Done my fair share of testing new products.
there was a German poster over at the Asus T100 forums that said the Asus Dongle would not work for him.
i went ahead and bought the Actiontec Receiver from Wally World, works just fine so far, had to update the firmware...good to go.

cannot find a setting for Wireless Display or Cast on my A210....i did read the info at wifi alliance about the A210 being supported.....maybe there is an app i need to download.....did not really check into it until now, i purchased my A210 about a year ago.
Actiontec Receiver works for: Asus T100, Asus MeMO Pad HD7, Nexus 7 (2013), no probs.

I remember Best Buy selling the Rocketfish Miracast Video Adapter for $19.99 a while back. This is the cheapest miracast adapter that works with either 2.4 & 5Ghz bands.
I've done a search on these boards as well as web searches. Thought maybe you all could help me out here.
This isn't necessarily only S3 related, but since I'm connecting my S3 I figured this might be the right place to post my question.
I am using an S3 stock android 4.3 -Sprint (I know, I know... haven't rooted) and have purchased a Harman Kardon Onyx Bluetooth speaker. I'm extremely impressed with the sound of the speaker and want to get a second one, however I don't know if there is a way to send Bluetooth signal from one audio source (my S3) to two Bluetooth speakers at once. Not necessarily looking to get 'stereo' sound, but the ability to play the same audio in 2 rooms or on 2 speakers at the same time would be great.
Anyway, the only impractical solution I found is for the Note3 - basically you need 2 Note3's and then sync them to each other via an app and send each to one of the 2 speakers streaming the same audio. Not really what I was looking for...and I don't own a Note3, let alone 2 of them.
I do have a Gal Tab2 and Gal Tab 7510, but I'd like to be able to send from my handset if possible.
Any ideas? Maybe an app? Even creative ideas like a separate unit that will take the Bluetooth signal and split it to 2? Not ideal unless it's a small battery powered unit, but worth a shot. I'm open to ideas...
Thanks in advance!
