7 years ago Probably a valid request, although I have to say that I personally would need a lot more research between MirrorLink, Android Auto, Windows Embedded Automotive / Ford Sync, etc. regarding which of these should be looked into, or how to prioritize supporting to interface with them ... any good guidance or material on this?

7 years ago There are a basic introduction on https://blog.noser.com/android-auto-vs-apple-carplay-vs-mirrorlink/ and https://iot.intersog.com/blog/overview-of-connected-car-app-dev-platforms-android-auto-apple-carplay-and-mirrorlink/
I n my opinion Osmand can not support Android auto because actually it only admit messaging and audio. Mirrolink is more standard and it have more features but the apps need to be certify by a consortium (I don't know if this have a price or it is free).
There are other technology open source, SmartDeviceLink, but I don't know any car that use it.

7 years ago Good links, thanks! We will have to see if we can muster any of our developer capacity or anyone's interest in helping to implement ... :)

7 years ago Just as quick reference (and mentioned in the wiki article), Ford Sync gen 1 and 2 (2007-2010) run on Windows Embedded Automotive while their gen 3+ runs on QNX software by BlackBerry Limited. The article also mentions upgrades to versions 4+ for older systems. This means targeting Sync 3+ only (QNX) would make for a better option than targeting Windows Embedded.

6 years ago Any good news? 11 months gone from last news. Sygic is certified for Mirrorlink now. How can we made the same functionality? - It'd be nice feature.

6 years ago I'm planning to port to Android Auto, but I'm very busy with my job right now so it goes at turtle speed. Maybe if someone goes to implement Mirror Link we get in touch so we don't reinvent the wheel? I don't have a ML phone to test though.

4 years ago This would be a really good feature since unlike Android Auto or Apple Carplay it is an open platform
I believe it is now called SDL: https://smartdevicelink.com and used by Toyota, Ford and some more
Also https://www.sygic.com can use it instead of Android Auto.

2 years ago Hi!
Sorry my English.
[Request]
I think that for a regular launch, it is enough to supplement AndroidManifest.xml
`
Add support to MirrorLink ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MirrorLink ) to offer integration between Osmand and a car's infotainment system and to can see Osmand on screen of the car.
