After a connection is established, the screen of the smartphone is displayed on the multi-display. Using this screen, the user can operate applications installed on the smartphone and listen to the audio of the smartphone via the vehicles speakers.
Tech Tips
*1: MirrorLink is a registered trademark of Car Connectivity Consortium LLC.
*2: The MirrorLink function is not available if the connected device is not compatible with MirrorLink.
*3: Smartphones which passed the CCC (Car Connectivity Consortium) MirrorLink 1.1 or later (including MirrorLink 1.2) Certification Program. For details, refer to http://carconnectivity.org/ and http://www.mirrorlink.com/.
*4: Confirm with the mobile smartphone manufacture for the MirrorLink compatibility. It is different for each model of smartphone about the confirmation method and the release schedule.
*5: Wi-Fi (P2P mode) performs wireless communication using the same 2.4 GHz radio frequency band as Bluetooth. Depending on the usage environment, radio wave interference may occur, resulting in image distortion and audio stuttering.
*6: When Wi-Fi communication is set to on, the Wi-Fi communication and Wi-Fi (P2P mode) interfere with each other resulting in image distortion and audio stuttering. (Except models for Australia)
*7: When using the MirrorLink function via Wi-Fi (P2P mode), the Miracast function cannot be used.
Figure 3. MirrorLink Image
Miracast Function
Before using the Miracast function, it is necessary to connect a Miracast compatible smartphone*1 to the radio and display receiver assembly via the Wi-Fi (P2P mode)*2*3*4 connection.
After a connection is established, the screen of the smartphone is displayed on the multi-display. Using the smartphone, the user can operate the multi-display. If the display of the smartphone is vertical, it will also be displayed on the multi-display vertically.
When using the Miracast function, video played on the smartphone is displayed on the multi-display and audio is played from the vehicle speakers. When the vehicle is being driven, video will not be displayed but the audio will continue playing from the vehicle speakers.
Tech Tips
*1: This function is not available if the smartphone is not certified by Wi-Fi Alliance as Miracast device. Confirm with the mobile smartphone manufacture for the Miracast compatibility.
*2: Wi-Fi (P2P mode) performs wireless communication using the same 2.4 GHz radio frequency band as Bluetooth. Depending on the usage environment, radio wave interference may occur, resulting in image distortion and audio stuttering.
*3: When Wi-Fi communication is set to on, the Wi-Fi communication and Wi-Fi (P2P mode) interfere with each other resulting in image distortion and audio stuttering. (Except models for Australia)
*4: When using the MirrorLink function via the Wi-Fi (P2P mode) connection, the Miracast function cannot be used. (Models with MirrorLink function)
