Hi guys. My wife has a City 2014 V spec and am planning to get her a new Android phone. Main criteria is that Waze should display on the V-spec HU
Besides solutions mentioned on the front page, all of which requires tinkering with the car, I am wondering if the slimport + Nexus setup actually works for other people too?
Also (question to sonofsam), do the bluetooth audio and steering phone controls work when you are mirroring using slimport? I assume you are using LG Nexus 5?
Thanks guys for your suggestions.
Hello voleman, if you really really love your wife, pls get her an iOS phone, either iP5, iP5s, iP6 also can..
don't bother about getting Android..
Seriously is useless now~~. OR better change the noob HU.
To answer a lot of ppl confusion, Android CAN mirror with V-spec HU, however DO mind the word "MIRROR", so basically all your touch has to be on the PHONE, not the HU.. And for Android user, u need to bypass the handbrake*.
*Not sure why "sonofsam" car can mirror the phone without bypass.
For iOS (iphone/ipad/ipod) user, you will be very lucky because your phone can "CONNECT" to HU instead of "MIRROR".
And doesn't require bypass.
Let's take WAZE for example,
Android user need to bypass handbrake (some cable), and then to search location, type, tap, click, EVERYTHING on the PHONE!
iOS user no need bypass handbrake, you can tap/scroll/search/type on the HU SCREEN.
Hope you guys able to see the different.
*iOS user also can bypass if you want to play video/youtube/etc. Waze by default doesn't need bypass.
