Hi,
I just got a new car and I am trying to connect my P20 Pro through mirrorlink. I searched over the internet but I didn't get any clear answer so far. So, does anyone know if P20 Pro supports mirrorlink (wireless)?
If yes, how can I connect it?
Thank you in advance,
Kostas

Do you mean that I can do it, but I can do it only with cable?

For now yes I believe that is the case, WiFi is coming, but it's not here yet.

Hi,
I connected my P20 Pro with cable with my car. In the car I got the message that a mirrorlink device recognized and in my P20 Pro I got the screen in the attached picture. Actually, the phone automatically moved to landscape mode (even if it was locked to portrait) and it stacked with this message. There were no response from the device until I removed the usb. It seems that there is something more than this message on this screen but it cannot scroll down. I tried with 2 more P20 Pro and with one Mate 10 Pro and I got exactly the same response.
Can anyone help me?

How many MirrorLink apps do you have installed?
https://mirrorlink.com/apps
At least one for sure: Spotify
Same situation for me.
Any new information for this?
Thank you.

Spotify by itself is NOT MirrorLink-compatible/licenced. You need to install "RockScout, by MirrorLink" aside Spotify.
As soon as your phone is connected via MirrorLink to your car use the display of your car-entertainment - system instead. That's what mirrorlink is for.
You can try "Parkopedia" from the google play store. This one is MirrorLink-compatible/licenced and free.
Same problem here...
Although Honda inforteinment system works good with my wife's s8+ cannot Connect to P20 pro...
Anyone who managed make it work?
Mirrorlink not picking up P20 Pro
Hi, can anyone please assist. My Toyota fortuner is not picking up my Huawei p20 pro, even with USB cable. Is there a setting on the phone that needs to be active for Mirrorlink to connect or do i need a specific type of USB cable?
regards,
Johan
Same problem with Suzuki
Same problem with P20Pro and Mirrorlink on Suzuki Baleno 2018. Same error message as earlier poster - phone displays a mirrorlink connected message but car display just keeps saying Connect Phone. Tried several cables and have the Sygic Car Navigation App installed on the phone.
Cheers

Hi guys, Huawei Mate 20 Lite support Desktop Mode? Can it possibile use Samsung dex station to activate it?
Regards
No that is not possible
Nope, that's samsung.
Wrong device mate
So the Mate 20 Lite dosent have the Desktop mode option like its bigger brothers the Mate 20 And mate 20 Pro? Would like to buy a Lite but i like the Desktop function and cant find any info if the 20 lite have it or not. Thanks guys!
I was wondering about that too. Shouldn't it be possible to unlock that feature on the Mate 20 Lite?

No
There is no function like that in any Huawei device. The Samsung DeX is a feature ONLY to SOME Samsung devices

Why would you assume we're talking about DeX?
This thread is about the desktop mode, and lots of Huawei devices (Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, P20 Pro, Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro) have that, either under the name Easy Projection or EMUI Desktop mode. Which is actually said to be superior to DeX (haven't tried any of them yet).
Anyway, BTT: I found out it's actually not possible with the lite devices because they don't support USB 3.1.

You dont need USB 3.1 because it should work wirelessly too and the function is called wirelesses projection, with it you can go in desktop mode on your TV or mirror sharing but i dont know why they didnt made the desktop mode available for the mate 20 lite too with the EMUI 9 update.
Yeah I know, but the OP (I assume) and me are not looking for the wireless option (which indeed is missing from the lite's ROM). That requires the display and the phone to be connected to the same wifi which is rarely the case. Monitors and projectors usually have no wifi, and not every TV you might wanna use (whether when you're staying at someone's home or in a hotel etc) is connected to a Wifi either. That limits its usage a lot. Plus I already have a USB-C hub with ethernet and HDMI-out, so I'd prefer to use that, gives me more options for periphery also.
As for why Huawei didn't include it in the lite's ROM, that's pretty simple: pricing. It's a lite version, so they felt they had to cut features artificially to make the regular and Pro models more attractive to potential buyers. That's pretty much what most if not all manufacturers do.
I actually asked Huawei yesterday regarding the Mate 20 lite and 30 lite, and this was their reply:
Unfortunately I can only inform you that Huawei Mate 20 lite does not support "easy Projection".
This is a feature which is supported by our full and pro models.
Unfortunately we don't have any information about the features of an upcoming Mate model at the moment.

However, if someone were able to port the EMUI 9 ROM of the higher models to the lite model (or probably to any phone?), I think it would probably work.

As far as i know you dont need your TV to be connected to a WIFI network nor the mobile. The devices(tv and mobile) connect to each other. Just watch some youtube videos about the desktop mode.
Oh and its pity that Huawei deiced not to implement the mode on their lite model, i would have bought one but i wont spend 500+ euros on a phone.
I guess it is only matter to port desktop mode "os" and some library to "setting" or external apk that do this
but I clearly know that we need someone able to put hands on it finger crossed
This is what I get from support :

16:03:45 - Romeo said : Unfortunately because is the lite version of the device, WiFi Projection it is not supported by your device .
****************************************************************************************************************************************
I just think is a flag in the OS because I have EMUI 9.0.1 with WiFi Projection button but no Desktop Mode
But Android Q (Huawei promises Mate 20 lite will get) promises to have it so I wander if is going to be implemented or is going to be crippled in favor of the more expensive devices ...
Desktop mode for the Mate 20 Lite is coming in December 2019

Do you have a source for this anywhere?
Iam using emui 10 and when I connect phone via adapter+hdmi cable it didnt show any option of desktop mode.
Mate 20 lite have usb c-type 2.0, only c-type 3.1 have desktop support.
Wireless projection works fine for Mate 20 lite. I can connect my phone to my desktop and mirror my phone screen on my computer monitor through windows 10. Very simple, The audio is in sync through bluetooth headphones connected to my desktop. Windows 10 desktop mouse
operating my phone is very laggy. I suppose everything would work perfectly if I connected the phone directly to a wifi miracast enabled monitor. I thiink the desktop mode that works for the Mate 20 and mate 20 pro but not the mate 20 lite has nothing to do with the usb c standards. I think it is a software or app issue. I can only connect my mate 20 lite mirrored to a monitor. The desktop environment would be nice, but the only reason I would like to use it more often is that I have unlimited phone date but I think I have a 30gb tethering limit. I can stream video with Mate 20 Lite to my computer monitor through Windows 10 with audio in sync and that is what matters most to me.
How to:
Open Windows 10 action center - far right icon on taskbar
Click on connect icon
Click 'projection to this pc'
(or may be 'projection to this pc' submenu in settings)
choose network configuration - pin or not, etc.
On Mate 20 lite
settings - more connections - wireless projection
Then enter pin on your computer. voila.
Hi... Does anyone have this phone working via USB with the connected BMW app?... Bluetooth streaming works... But can't get usb and connect to work or launch Spotify app from connected
i have same problem , any new?
Nope still have same issue ... Work iPhone no issues... But p20 pro just won't work
I think Huawei must have changed something between emui versions 9.0 and 9.1.. (definitely worked on emui 8.1 and early 9.0)
Had same issue on my Mazda until recent Mazda CMU Update where they added some workaround
fixed issues:
"Certain Android smartphones (HUAWEI P20, P30 Pro and Mate 20 Pro etc.) may not work as a USB audio device."
It works wireless with the app but not via USB never has .. so can't use apps via connect
All is in the title.

Casting my redmi note 8 on the TV works fine.
Any idea about the problem ?
Thanks
I downloaded Google Home and I was able to cast my phone to my Xiaomi Mi Box. I think that Mirrorshare is for Huawei Devices only.
