Sony Mirrorlink Car Stereo

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...

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

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.

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.

2018 Subaru Outback

Hello Everyone,
I traded in my 2014 Subaru Outback for a new 2018 Outback. In my 2014, I removed the original stereo unit and put in a fantastic Android HU with SYGIC GPS, that unfortunately won't fit in my new car. (The old unit is for sale, just sayin')
For the past two weeks, I've been looking to replace the crappy "Starlink" unit in my new 2018, but I'm having difficulty finding one that will install with the current faceplate. I contacted the company that I bought the original one from, and they said that their engineers are working on it, and will take about 6-8 weeks to come up with one. Has anyone found a suitable HU for a 2018 Outback? The issue I have with the HU that came with the car is that the only way to communicate with it is through Bluetooth using a smart phone via the USB input or with Bluetooth. That means wires. It also means having a smart phone, which I don't and NEVER wanted to have. I use the original Motorola V3 RAZR Flip Phones for a number of reasons, and they work just fine.
OR - Does anyone know how I can hack into this "Starlink" unit that came with my car? All I want to do is perhaps root it, or at least install some of my own apps and also to be able to use my hotspot and download stuff. There has to be a 'code' or certain buttons to press to get into this machine, but I haven't been able to find anyone smart enough to figure this one out. I'd be happy to compensate anyone who can help. I did just that with the older HU, so if you can help, just let me know.
Thanks in advance.

MTCE GS headunit and TPMS unit from Avinusa.com

I’m fairly new to the android radios and options, but I’m trying to get the TPMS unit from Avinusa.com (not the usb B plug model, but the one that has a purple plug on it) to work with an Xtrons 7” unit that’s is the MTCE GS unit, and it doesn’t look like the unit is seeing the TPMS receiver. Can anyone give me some help and insight in how to get this to work?

Please forgive me if I put this in the wrong section as I’m still learning more about this radio.

Does the TPMS Have the same fitting plug as the TPMS01 from Xtrons? Also have you installed the Software for the TPMS or is it pre installed? And one last thing, in factory settings in the headunit you will find the option for TPMS versions, make sure it is set to the correct manufacturer or if manufacturer is not on the list you will need to try each one to see if it works.

Android 9 for this unit please.

Hi everyone please help me, I bought a head unit from company called seicane and has android 9 install in it
but without mirroring app like easy connection i contacted them and they give me a firmware doesn't work and said they only have this firmware. please help.
this my unit:
Model: HF S8 Series H2190
build number: PX30 9 PQ2A.190205.003 eng.hct.20190326.144150
MCU Version : MTCE _HF_V3.30_1

please help:crying:

I have a Seicane was supposed to have 64G only had 32G. They changed an image and pointed to that ignoring the title description. I am getting "Not find mcu file!". Two days ago it quit connecting to network. System updates never did anything. Worst $415 I ever spent!
The dual AC control it's supposed to support on my Honda Accord EX-L which fores indeed have dual AC zones has never worked properly. AC setting has never shown in screen as their promo sales screens demonstrate. Their response was I need to swap two wires in harness and they sent an extremely grainy pic that you can't see the colors/stripe in their description.
Anyone looking for an inexpensive android unit to update/ upgrade their car.
RUN AWAY FROM SEICANE!
