Still testing it. Not quite polished enough.

Nice feature!! Is this wired or wireless mirroring?

Nice feature!! Is this wired or wireless mirroring?

Its wired. For wireless need extra hardware.
I can remove the status bar (which would remove the indication thats it's mirroring) but I prefer the information it shows.
Did you try it already?

Haven't tried it!! Where did you buy the hardware for mirroring?

 

[AbuG]

I'm just using wired and an old spare phone.

Do you get the i-smart in your MG's in Costa Rico?

No we don't get i-smart or MG Link, but I saw on Youtube a video showing how MG Link works.

I have got this working fairly fluidly...
It requires several steps and so have made a video for this this to explain. (it's about an hour long almost)
It needs a little editing but should be ready tomorrow, hopefully.
What's best way to post... Do I really need to make a you tube account for a single video?

Probably the easiest thing to do I'd imagine, not sure if there is any easier way to do it (well there are a couple of ways but YouTube is by far the easiest) ?

Only other option I can think of is a basic account
