What is MirrorLink™ ?
MirrorLink™ is a recently introduced standard for connecting smartphone devices to vehicle-based infotainment systems. It is a cross-industry solution supported by leading automotive manufacturers, system suppliers, consumer electronics manufacturers and handset manufacturers as part of the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC). MirrorLink™ offers seamless and convenient use of smartphone-based applications such as navigation, music playback and other entertainment and communication apps.
Our new 1.4 software update for ICS-X8 even features MirrorMode for Nokia, allowing the user to fully access and use all applications of a MirrorLink™ enabled Nokia smartphone in the car.
Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S3/Note II DriveLink
If you own a Samsung Galaxy S3/Note II, download DriveLink from either Samsung Apps or Google Play to use your Galaxy S3/Note II with the ICS-X8. Navigation lets you use your Google maps based navi app on your ICS-X8, while the music app allows you to select and enjoy all you music stored on your phone through your car audio system.
