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

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.
I have a HU that comes with a CANBUS decoder. The CANBUS decoder comes pre-loaded with a config file that is made for a generic version of my car. Most functions work well. However, one key part of functionality is not working, and that is a commander knob (joystick). The joystick WOULD work if my car was a sport model (lower-tier model), but I have a higher trim model that had some extra features missing from the sport model, and because of this, the joystick doesn't work.
I would like to see if I can access the CANBUS configuration stored on the decoder or on the unit, and re-map the commands to match how it should be for my specific model. I plan to listen to the serial port on my unit and see what comes in when I move the joystick, and then line up the correct settings based on that.
Is this the correct way to go about this? Do I need to re-configure the decoder, or can I do all of this inside of the HU? How can I see how these settings are mapped?
I can't seem to find anything in this thread showing how to modify the CANBUS config, only on how to listen to the serial port to see what is coming in via CANBUS.
I also know it is possible to get joystick working on my unit because some russians have a vid of it all working on one of their units that is the exact same model as mine (AN-21U 2nd gen).
Any info helps. Thanks!
Hello,
had to learn what my beloved Z2 Pro has working Mirrorcast (self tested in my car head unit) but Mirrorlink is not working ?!
Thought Mirrorlink is only like Mirrorcast plus app Controll via Bluetooth...
All things are working exept showing the mobile display in the head unit.
I can use my finger moving on the head unit display shown as mousecursor on the mobile display.
Anybody knows if it is a hardware problem or do I have the chance to change the ROM and then ML is working?
If yes which ROM?
I'm using the 2.5.335ST at the moment.
Maybe some of the alternative ROM users can look if there is a option: Mirrorlink ? (mostly unter WLAN or under Display settings...)
Thanxs in advance.
additional question: Does anyone have a working MHL(HDMI) to USB-Type-C Cabel?
Hello guys! I'm back to ask you a great pleasure. I'm a new user and i cannot post images, if you are kind to search on google 2 din Lancia Delta mask, so by the way I have this 2 DIN mask for my cockpit. Can you suggest me the most suitable headunit for ROMS and tweaking, if not something with android 6.0 or higher, i would be pleased if it has a nice ratio between hardware and price. I would have some physical wheel for volume up\down and maybe for FM tuning. And something that supports steering wheel buttons of my Lancia Delta. Greetings, thankings and cheerings guys. ShuttleX :fingers-crossed:

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.
