Hello there!
I'm trying to make my S3 interact with my Pioneer Avic-F700BT. It's an older HU (2009), and does not support BT streaming. It appears unable to read the S3 via USB due to lack of UMS on the S3. It worked flawlessly on my iPhone 4, but that doesn't matter at this point.
Right now, I'm investigating the use of the Infuse 4G mount + line out into the deck, but I'm looking to see if anyone is aware of any alternatives. I have not rooted the phone yet out of fear and inexperience.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to control the phone from the HU, but it's not a must. Another alternative is to just go and buy an ipod touch and leave it in my car, but it's a much more expensive option.
Truthfully, I have the i747 (Canada), but I couldn't find a different subforum for it, so I hope that I'll be accepted and loved here.
Thanks!

For the past few days I have been racking my brain and searching multiple forums for the answer(s) and I finally turn to XDA to hopefully help answer.
The thought: I would love to be able to take my DroidX connect it via HDMI to a 7" monitor in my car to have a nice view of the navigation, access to my music and all of the other items that the phone has to offer (which include data connection and accurate GPS). Sure I can buy an android based headunit or build a carPC but why when I have what all of that has to offer in my pocket? Then I got to thinking, to take it a step further, why not use a 7" touchscreen monitor so that I am not just passing video and sound via the HDMI but that the monitor registers touches to the phone.
WebTop is a great middle of the road solution as it would output the HDMI and allow the user to utilize the phone as the mouse touchpad on the screen. Sadly it is only offered for a select few phones. So on to my questions.
1. Did I some how miss a WebTop project being worked on that would do what I am talking about?
2. Am I wrong in thinking that drivers need to be worked out depending on the phone AND which 7" TS was used?
3. Most, if not all, android phones have video out capabilities, so outputting to the screen would be workable, but is there a better way to get the input hurdle worked out.. not a question just an open suggestion box.
Looks like a few more days or looking would have helped. Customgadz has what I need.
so what did you find? I searched for Customgadz, with no results. did you use hdmi mirroring with Android, or does this work with webtop?
Looks like the australian website has a solution to control an android device with a 4 wire external touchscreen using a module.
search for "customgadz remote touch"
Only pre-order now and the website states they start delivering end of januari
Hey everyone I'm still on my wm6.5 phone (tilt2) and am becoming increasingly wowed and awed by other peoples androids. I have a few preferences in a phone that I wanted to layout to see if I can find everything I'm looking for. I am on att but if a tmbile or other carrier will work on att (obviously minus the 3g bands) im ok with that. Also I dont need the latest and greatest if an older phone will satisfy this criteria (preferably one I can still get updated OS's on.
in order of preference
-(biggest preference) TV-out/mirroring capability via RCA output . I know its dying tchnology but my #1 use of my phone is as a "media hub" that I connect to tvs with the red yellow white chord. most hotel room tvs and gyms (ehem and tv in my bedroom) are still not on the hdmi system yet so RCA is preferred ( i use my phone as a media player for p90x/insanity)
-Gps (I think this is pretty much standard these days
-slide out keyboard (have fat fingers)
-decent camera my gf has the infuse4g with a 8mp cam if I can get a good camera ill take it flash preferred
Thanks in advance for the help looking forward to responses! Done alot of browsing so far my best bet seems to be Tmobile mytouch 4g slide but o think its hdmi out
Still looking, any Input? any help or thoughts is appreciated or a site I can sort these options out?
Hi All,
First post here, hope i'm posting in the right area. If not, MODS feel free to point me in the appropriate direction and delete/move as appropriate. I've also tried searching without luck and not really sure what other terms i can use to describe what i'm doing.
Basically, i have two old s2's (GT-i9100) that i intend to use in the audio systems around my house. One will sit in the loungeroom and be able to stream to one of several Airplay receivers around the place (Yamaha RX-V573 Receiver or my other S2 plugged into the receiver in the shed running Airbubble) using Airtunes. I'm using Airplay, because it seems to work incredibly smoothly and easily, its built into my receiver, plus my Zombie iOS friends can play their music easily as well. Maybe i'm over complicating, maybe theres an easier way of doing this, i'm open to suggestions.
I want anybody to be able to pick up the s2 that will live on the coffee table and play music via pandora/mog/or my DLNA server to any of the receivers. I want it to be secure and restricted to that i'm the only one that can modify/configure the settings. And there will be no facebook/google account etc running on the device as a security precaution. Does this make sense?
So basically i'm after a Basic Simple ROM with no unneeded apps that can handle these basic functions with reliability and stability, and can be locked down.
For reference, my daily is an s4, plus i have a work supplied iPAD2, which i have just replaced with my own 2014 Note 10.1. My PC is a Series 9 Samsung 15" Laptop. I have installed several ROMS before on my S2 and my Xoom.
Any tips/advice/help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
I've got my head spinning trying to sort out what's possible (if it's possible even) and what's required to provide a more useful experience in using Mirrorlink between an S4 and a PioneerAVH-X3600BHS.
I have a VZW S4 running Jelly "Beans" V7 (lightened TW). I am hoping to purchase the PioneerAVH-X3600BHS. I'd ideally like to do a full mirror of my GS4 onto the Pioneer HU - I'd like to use the native turn-by-turn nav, Pandora, SiriusXM app, potentially Torque.
My questions (to start anyway) are:
1) It looks like I need an adapter - the Pioneer CD-ML100. Is that correct?
2) I see the S3 listed - am I safe to assume the S4 would work as well?
3) What software is the best to use? Is the Drivelink Full the best app? Seems that ARLiberator isn't appropriate for this product (used for the appradios?).
4) If it seems that this HU isn't the well suited for this, is there a comparable one I should look at that would be easier and/or cheaper?

I'm looking at the same radio for my Note 3 as well. I should have it next week. I believe, in addition to the CD-ML100, you still need the 5pin to 11pin adapter as well?

I'm not completely sure. I ordered the 5pin to 11pin. I'm figuring out where I want to order the ML100 from.
Any luck with the AVH-X3600?
Well I ordered the avhx 4600bt and I've been going crazy because it does not have an HDMi in put lime the 8500 series I'm waiting for it to come in any day now I will keep you posted on how it's doing'":,';..?? As for as I know I've been reading that the mirror link is to expensive and does not support the note 3 and I'm pissed because that's the phone and my daily driver. .

Testing CD-ML100
I have the AVH-X3600BHS that i purchased on a pre-order before it's release. I must say i love the radio and all of it's features. I have been using the interface for the iphone on my ipod and it works. I stream music and use the bt phone features up until now. I actually just ordered the CD-ML100 MirrorLink adaptor today on Newegg and should have it in about a week (opted for the free 5-7 days shipping). I have a rooted and stock VZW GS4 running 4.4.2 and i will be testing this as soon as it comes in. For those with a Note 3, best i can do is test my wife's Note 2 on it when it comes in and my brother's Note 3 to let you know if either of them work. I will post my results in a week or so once i have the adaptor connected and have tried it
I have finally gotten around to trying this with the VZW GS4 stock/rooted rom and the CD-ML100. I began hooking up the cd-ml100 last night. I temporarily wired the power and ground for it and connected it to the AVH-X3600BHS. When the truck and radio are turned on the phone charges through the cd-ml but i can not get it to broadcast to the head units screen. I am going to attempt to contact Pioneer customer service since there is pretty much nothing to be found online and find out if i overlooked something or if i have to do something not stated or pointed out in the installation instructions. If i make any progress i will let the forum know. As of right now it am not able to get the mirroring to work.
Your results would be greatly appreciated acid if you can report back with your findings. A call to crutchfield revealed that mirrorlink is a aging and discontinued interface...,a bummer since the idea is IMO awesome
First off, apologies if this is not in the correct forum, I'm not sure if this is device specific or not...
I have 2 phones. An AT&T Galaxy S5 and a Samsung ATIV S Neo running Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview. The one feature I absolutely love about the Neo is the ability to read and respond to SMS over bluetooth in the 3 vehicles I own... they are:
2014 Chevrolet Impala LT with MyLink (no Nav)
2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS (with Mylink and Nav)
2012 Chevrolet Traverse (no MyLink or Nav)
On what I am guessing is the MAP part of Bluetooth, my Windows Phone works with each vehicle flawlessly to receive and respond to SMS. I can't say the same for my S5 (which by the way, is rooted, running SafeStrap, and running Alliance ROM so that I can have Car Mode, which AT&T saw fit to remove out of their version). I can only get the S5 to work correctly with the Traverse, which also happens to be the oldest vehicle. I have yet to find a 3rd party app that might be able to get around this.
It is beyond frustrating that a 2014 device such as the S5 does not work with vehicles that are relatively new in this regard. Is this true of all 2014 devices? I wish there was an easy way to find out. Most car manufacturers and even aftermarket ones don't even list any 2014 devices as being compatible with them... I know it might sound like nitpicking, but a phone (the Neo) that was released almost a full year ago works fine across all my vehicles... am I missing something here?
And yes, the new thing with Android and vehicle integration is all well and good, but probably won't be able to see that in action for what.. another year at least?
UPDATE: I have since moved on from the S5 and have tried an HTC One M8, and a LG G3, both with similar issues. I have found an app called Robin that kind of worked on the G3, and another called SMS, My Car and Me (SMS+Car) that sort of works on the M8. The M8's own car mode works best but far from perfect. Voice recognition is not good, and has an issue quite similar to responding to sms and emails on Android Wear devices. It gives you absolutely no time to pause before sending, but in the case of the M8, the window to respond is way too short.
Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?
So no one has a clue.. Am I asking this on the right forum? Am I phrasing the question wrong or something? Why can't anyone answer or offer any insight on this? A little help here please?
