Pop your VIN up so I can see exactly what system you have.

Have you checked out and followed ALL the procedures on page 47 of the manual concerning Mirrorlink?

You need to have a compatible handset and possibly an APP, connect it to the USB port, and select the Mirrorlink from the Source Menu.

What Phone model and software version have you got on your phone?

[stevewynne17]

samsung s8 latest update version

[stevewynne17]

as to page 47 nothing in the manual i've got concerns mirrorlink

Ok, I'm going to send you a Private Message with a link to the PDF Manual (which should be) the one for your vehicle. Let me know otherwise.

[stevewynne17]

ok cheers

I have a 2014 ds5 can you please help me also with morrow link?

[GiveMeABreak]

Possibly...what's the problem?

[robpitt]

My ds5 2014 model came out without a touch screen so no mirrowlink, is there any android system out there that I can buy and have it installed to enable CarPlay?

[robpitt]

If there is anyone out there that can help me buy a CarPlay system for my ds5 2014 model can they please email me rjpitt@me.com.

Cheers robpitt

There's not much of a place to install an aftermarket system on a DS5 as the head units are usually integrated behind the fascia on the DS5, with the controls part of the centre console moulding which may butcher the car's appearance. You might be better off trying to see if one of the later DS5 systems (SMEG or Connected Nav on a 2016/17 model) is feasible - but it will depend on the electrical architecture on your 2014 model and BSI compatibility.

there does not seem to be anything available here in South Australia If I could find something , I am sure I could get it fitted.

[robpitt]

I did have what I thought was the answer but the plug to attach to the screen was not compatible.
