Cyc66 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 As soon as the 15's are not the 'current model year' there will be no more budget or care about them. It's just the way things go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda_One Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 It is in Subarus best interest to bring their system to compliance. The fault lies with HU manufacturer for not having the latest iteration of Mirrorlink on their system when they sold it to Subaru.

nhhillrider Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just got a 2016 Forester ... same issue. Is there a way to disable mirrorlink on my Galaxy Note 4 so that I can at least plug it into the usb port for charging ? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcoaster Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Galaxy Note 4 running Android 5.1.1:  Settings -> Connections -> NFC and Sharing -> MirrorLink You'll have to connect the Note 4 to the Forrester via USB and then untick "Connect to vehicle via USB".

scrupul0us Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 haven't seen anyone report HTC M8 from other carrier report result yet. HTC One M8 H/K on Sprint with Android 5.0.2 '15 Premium, non-nav, non-H/K, 6 speaker  On the HU main "apps" screen I am able to launch MirrorLink and see 6 boxes once it loads (weather, news, etc) Network connection is reported as "good" This is my signature, there are many like it but this one is mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirBorne1Cav Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Were you able to mirror the screen off your phone to the HU? What are all the aps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrupul0us Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Well here I was all excited to have done something no one else seemingly could, only to realize I was using the Starlink app on the HU... Le sigh, I too have MirrorLink grayed out I was able to set my phones data connection via USB to mirror link but that didn't do anything This is my signature, there are many like it but this one is mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhhillrider Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Just to keep adding to the futility .... When I spoke to customer service a few days ago, thats what they told me. "Works in Europe". No news about when or if it would ever work here. This is so frustrating as its probably a minor software update to make this work. Someone suggested that the problem may be the version of Mirrorlink on our phones is too new. Can an older version of Mirrorlink be installed on our phones ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrupul0us Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Someone suggested that the problem may be the version of Mirrorlink on our phones is too new. and I believe this to be part of the truth. The HU uses ML 1.0 (supposedly) where as in my case the M8 used 1.1 It's a protocol that unfortunately isn't backwards compatible. You might be able to somehow downgrade ML on your phone but really Subaru should do the right thing and update it. Now as for that whole "the HU needs to function in several markets, hence its grayed out" nonsense, well that's just non-sense. If they only have TWO HU sku's for the new generation then they'd need to utilize programming to disable it for the USA and enable it for other markets which means someone should be able to change the programming. IIRC a thread on here stated someone figured out how to get into the diagnostic mode for the HU which may allow for this reprogramming? If you ask me, US laws regarding video playback while a vehicle is in motion is the cause for this. IIRC there is no factory way for the HU via ML to disable video playback while in motion and as a result cars coming off the line would be in violation from day-0. Where as, a HU that can detect car motion and disable playback accordingly is legal from day-0 and even though it can be bypassed by the consumer, when it leaves the manufacturer it's disabled and removes liability from them.

Yoda_One Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 What I believe Subaru is planning to update MirrorLink to the latest version 1.2 to avoid having to do two updates. Laughing at Oneself and with Other is good for the Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
