I have managed to get the Android App working and I am able to access the Google Apps on my Android phone from the Touchscreen.

It would also be nice to use TomTom Go installed on my Android phone from the cars Touchscreen .
My idea was that Mirror ling would display an active app on the Android phone onto the cars Touchscreen but so far I cannot get this to work.

A USB connection from the phone to the Touchscreen is in place but when I touch the Mirrorlink icon I only get these messages :-

I have tried running different apps on the phone but nothing is displayed.

Am I making some mistakes or the assumption on how Mirrorlink works?

Cheers John

Use Android Auto and a charger data cable and the touchscreen should mirror what's on the phone.

I don't have a mirrorlink phone, but I have had problems connecting my phone due to using a cheap cable. Use a good quality or OE cable.

Thanks Beanee - it works fine on the Android App which looks like the option most people are using.

I would like to use TomTom Go from my phone onto the Touchscreen using Mirrorlink. Looking through the web I cannot find any information about doing this - so maybe it cannot be done?
But there must be 'something' on my phone that can be displayed using mirrorlink just to prove the concept?

Just out of interest although Citroen cars are mirrorlink fitted my phone a Moto G7 is not. I looked it up on the net and NO Moto phones are mirrorlink compatible.

My Samsung should be compatible but others are also having exactly the same problem as shown in this Youtube video

OK, after a looking a bit deeper into this I found several articles saying that Samsung are 'dropping/dropped' , amongst other apps, Mirrorlink.

So that may explain why it stopped working on my phone after the 5th November - case closed?

There are some articles on the net about turning it on, on phones that have it.
I searched how to get mirrorlink to work on my phone.
