Ds5 mirrorlink

[aczberger]

I'm still trying to connect the android phone with the car and I can't, with iphone it works at first but with android I can't. The car is ds5 hybrid, 2017. Please if anyone else has understood this problem. Thanks!

Android is notoriously bad for connecting - usually it is a combination of Head Unit software and Android Operating system and version. I know there were huge issues with Android 10 that caused loads of people to lose connection after the update.

If this is your case, raise an issue with either your phone company or the App developers.

Thanks for the answer! If I use an older android for example 9 or even 8?

The only way is to try it - I use Apple devices personally, so use CarPlay. All I can tell you is there were issues after that update - but may depend on the phone.

thanks, at least I know it can't. Maybe in time they will make an update for android auto

There won't be an update for Android Auto on older Head Units including the DS5 unfortunately. They will never support it. You'll need a much newer vehicle for that.
