Hello There,
I am looking for someone who has managed to somehow mode their Android phone to mirror the phone's screen directly to Modular Infotainment System (MIB II) of VW Passat B8 (Discovery Pro) WHILE DRIVING.
The new Passat allows to fully mirror screen only when stationary, when in motion it only allows a few certified by VW (useless) apps to work and so people cannot use for example Google Maps or Spotify while driving.
There is an external vendor navigation app available in motion - Sygic. From what I've seen there have been successful attempts to unlock mirroring in motion.

cnet.com/news/unlock-full-android-app-mirroring-on-your-dashboard-with-this-appradio-hack/
To conclude the hardware specs are as following:
Discover Pro (VW MIB II)
Hardware: H41
OS: QNX-6.5.0
Does anyone know something in this subject and can help?
Cheers!
You can use the Video in Motion module to hack the headunit. So you can have screen when driving.
Do you think that would also work with MirrorLink? I thaught it only unlock DVD playback. Maybe it's worth a try...
It should works fine. The module should fake the headunit about the current car speed.
There are Golf 7 / Audi A3 version modules which are MQB platform too. They should works fine with Passat B8.
Just got it worked.

Hi! Could you please try runnig GoogleMaps for example while driving, or just play around with phone menu during driving...
Sygic is oficialy certified app for MirrorLink and it works fine even in moton with or without cracks/patches/mods
Much appreciate!
Cheers!

Google Maps and Spotify not mirrorlink certificate, only Android Auto.
I know that's why I am looking a bypass to enable Mirroring of the full screen of my mobile phone while driving, not only when stationary. This is possible because I saw it working on devices such as Pioneer, but I would like to run it on VW Discover Pro

Any updates here? I am also looking to get ML working on my MIB II while driving ... :good:
on HTC / sony phones, google maps works.
here is the demo of HTC phones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0cwLQVts4U
But not in Samsung phones.
I have found a solution, presented in this Video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-1umqMJqlw
The devices are available to buy in Poland, probably can be shipped worldwide and are easy to install Plug&Play.
There is also a web page, but you have to use google translate to navigate there.
http://www.sklep.martos.com.pl/nawi...00x480-vw-polo-skoda-fabia-od-2015-p-187.html
Hope it helps anyone looking for a solution, that unfortunately can't be done only by software changes.
The video shows my car The phone in HTC One M8s. It has a great application HTC Car which has Mirrorlink certificate and is a kind of launcher. Using it, you can launch ANY application in Mirrorlink while NOT driving. But then using this app and the unlock adapater that is presented in above video you can use any application whil edriving
So you shoul dtry if HTC Car works with your phone under Mirrorlink and if yes then with this unlock adapter you can run app while driving.
If anyone is interested in unlock adapter pls contact me - I run a company and can sell it with regular invoice. And if run a company having EU VAT ID then I can sell it with no VAT charge!
I have managed to find a workaround for mirroring in Motion only for Samsung Galaxy S6 & S7.
I have put the comment in this movie showing how it works in my car.

Hi there,
I have HTC M9 with VW Passat B8 and would like to use Car apps as much as I can with Mirrorlink while I am driving.
I want to purchase your solution if it is affordable and easy to install so please provide me your solution detail to my email address '[email protected]'.
Please include available product detail such as website link, detail image, price (in NZD) and installation guide.
I wish it can be delivered to New Zealand as well.
Thank you.

Hi Szylton,
Your video is impressive. I have the same discover pro and s7, but when I connect the phone with mirrorlink to the radio I only get few apps avaliable. What do I have to install to get the same full screen on the discover pro?
Many thanks

Hello Chris,
Have you seen the description of the video I've posted. It's all there
You need Car Mode from Samsung Apps, and sometimes Nova Launcher also can do the difference.
Let me know if you understood whats written in the description on YT.
Cheers,
Simon
for me, s5 6.0.1 , this works, https://youtu.be/orR5QX3tJmg
---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------
and with lg g4, works non rooted without adjustments. best way to v.i.m. is the hardware adjustment in your v.a.g car, which will cost around 140 euros.
I want to buy a passat variant (2017) with discover media.
I have a phone with cm11 with root.
Will it work too?
Specific to VW only, All you need to do is buy OBDEleven tool an use an application specific to your car to unlock MirrorLink in Motion. No need to have something plugged into you car all the time to spoof speed to the units. They have apps for B7 and B8 with MIB2. Discover Pro and Discover. They did not have an app for my 2017 NMS Passat - but I gave them my cars information and they provided an app right away within the next couple of days.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone know of a project/app that work with the Android Auto Headunit instead of the Android Auto App.
I noticed there are several implmentations for making a device a head unit but didn't find any app that simply skip the Android Auto App and directly used the existing Headunit screen.
Considering we the protocol was reverse enginereed to write headunit app (client) does anyone know of a "server" (Auto App) implmentation ?
I would like to understand this also. for example android auto is great for spotify etc but I would rather just be able to use the car DAB rather than my data to stream radio content.
At present I have to come out of android auto and into car headunit applications to do this then back to use AA navigation.
Is this app the sort of thing you mean? Car Dashdroid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nezdroid.cardashdroid&hl=en
Yes but that only changes the appearance on the phone not on the andoid factory fitted head unit
Or am i wrong
At the moment, I have an Android 8.0-based Chinese head unit but the quality is poor.
I was considering buying an Android Auto system from Sony or Pioneer.
I use the TuneIn application from the Play Store a lot on my current head unit.
Is it possible to get said application for Android Auto, as it's an Android application, or do they need to have a dedicated Android Auto application?

Have you tried running HUR on the head unit https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...ndroid-4-1-headunit-reloaded-android-t3432348 ?

Unfortunately, it's the build quality that's poor. The speaker outputs slowly died one-by-one and the included software/hardware combination never allowed a solid 4G connection via. 4G dongle.
Does Android Auto have a seperate application store
Unfortunately, the app is not yet available everywhere around the world. If you live in a region where Android Auto has not become available, you can use VPN to change your Google Play Store region. This will allow you to download and install geo-restricted applications on your Smartphone.
TuneIn Radio is compatible with Android Auto. There's no separate app. If you install and run AA on your phone, you can test it out.
The Play Store has a dedicated section for Android Auto-compatible apps that can be accessed from the pullout menu in the Android Auto app on your phone.
Hello,
I would like to buy Double din Head Unit with Android Auto support for my 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. The head unit should be able to display a few apps like 'Podcast Addict', 'Pandora', YouTube , my music player etc. and gps maps. I am kind of confused about when a particular app will appear on a head unit with Android Auto support. Like there are some apps like 'Podcast addict' that I would like to use regularly on my head unit. I was wondering will all apps on my phone appear on the head unit or only some with special support for Android Auto. There are also headunits without Android auto support like this one and I was wondering what are the implications of buying one of these since while it has everything I need will other apps not appear because it doesn't have android auto support?

Only a few app will show on android auto.
You need a head unit supporting android. Not android auto.
Podcast Addict works fine with Android Auto (it runs on phone, but is controlled from head unit) units. Most music/audio players I have tried also do, but YouTube will not support video. As noted above, if you want the apps to run directly on the head unit, you want an android HU, not an android auto one.
Hi guys, I recently made a big upgrade in my car sound system and switched to an Android head unit. A PX6 10-in screen octa-core 8 GB RAM 64 GB ROM unit. I like many other people have discovered the pitfall of these stereo units. What little Bluetooth functionality you have is accessed awkwardly through the phone app menu. I can deal with that but what I can't deal with is the Bluetooth audio app is only accessible from the built-in launcher. If you use another launcher you cannot access the app drawer that the Bluetooth audio app is located in along with a handful of other preloaded proprietary apps that cannot be reached from the primary app drawer. Does anyone else have this problem and has anyone else come up with a solution? I have attached pictures of the installed unit with car web guru launcher a picture of the proprietary app drawer and a picture of the accessible app drawer.
I tried to do a workaround by hot-spotting to my head unit and running Pandora and Spotify on the head unit rather than from the phone and those apps will not work on a hotspot connection for some reason.
