I have used Mirror Link with my Samsung android phone. And the magic is that you need to install an app called LG MirrorDrive and use it with non LG phone. Also Button Savior is handy to have as it simplifies the use of the phone with a touch screen only.
With all of the above in place you can use and display any app from your mobile on the vehicle infotainment unit.
Try this and let me know if it won't work for you.Hey mucker, failed!! :-( managed to find the apk for LG Mirrordrive, but comes up with "only works on LG phones" or something similar. Got Button Saviour too but that doesnt do anything without LG by the looks. Also when it connects via Mirrorlink it shows like 4 things, think music, location & some others, but no apps. Running apps is empty too. looks like I've failed miserably lol
On a Sammy S10+ running Android 10
What version of LG drive are you running as I have found 4?
I use my iPad which sits perfectly on the buttons of the Discover media.has anyone managed with an iPhone to get any video playing apps onto the media screen ?

Where exactly are you getting stuck? Can you take any pictures with another phone/camera?Tried that to the letter but no go, looks like it is the Android 10/Sammy S10+ that is not allowing it, booger
This is actual advantage and part of the hack, running LG mirror drive app on non LG android phone. The only tricky part is that on some android versions of non LG phones you have to acknowledge this annoying message. And this acknowledgement means that you need to hit okay/confirmation sometimes even 10 times in a row. Like click, click, click ....... (press after press with no stopping until this warning is gone). On some phones you have to do that again after starting each new app. Hope this helps you somehow.Hey mucker, failed!! :-( managed to find the apk for LG Mirrordrive, but comes up with "only works on LG phones" or something similar.

Dodgy USB cable?Hi all, newby Jim here.
Do any other Iphone users get an intermittent "beep" or "blip" coming through their media whilst travelling? I've got app connect, but this seems to happen whether connected via the cable or unplugged through bluetooth. It's almost as if something on Iphone is updating in the background; i've turned quite a few automatic updates / refreshes off on the phone which seemed to lessen the frequency but still there.
IT'S DRIVING ME FOOKIN NUTS!
Thanks in advance.
Jim
Is that any help? ---> Infotainment Fec/swapCould be the VW satnav indicating where the speed cameras are. It make a sound even when the VW satnav is not selected. Try looking in the options and turn off camera location notifications.
I cant understand why it doesnt mirror your full phone why only some apps?
