Remember, not so long ago, in the course of getting to know one of the multimedia devices, we spoke out in the sense that, now, it is clear where the main line of development will go: towards supporting more and more mobile smartphones and communicators. (Then this word was still in use, now everything around us is “smartphones”.) It was not clear what brands (except Apple, which is everywhere first, like priests’s glass) will appear on this line earlier, which ones later. Well, of course, the technical side of the issue remained, to put it mildly, unobvious: after all, different operating systems, different interfaces and exchange protocols. There are many different things, although there are common positions too. Let's say the OS is not so much - Windows Mobile, Android, Symbian, the interfaces are mostly standard (USB Micro or Mini), protocols, as I understand it, are also being developed from scratch.
Ideally, MirrorLink will emulate all the functions of an intelligent mobile phone on a car head unit. The move to the ideal will be carried out as the development of appropriate software. True, along the way, the question arises: is it necessary? What, you can not do with software developed by the supplier of car media? Yes and no. You can - in relation to applications implemented in the head unit itself. We will not require (for now, at least) that the user interface of your car player (working independently) repeat the interface of the player in the smartphone. But a great many applications are being written for mobile phones (more precisely, for the OS, but not the essence), and it would be naive to expect that the car media manufacturer will be able to develop its analogues, if not for everyone, but at least for most of them. There is only one way out - let the smartphone do everything that it can, and the best double din head unit should only provide you with a “communication style” that is more suitable for the user moving in the car. But I would not want to relearn every time, and therefore it would be nice to transfer the mobile user interface to the head unit with minimal changes.
n particular, in order to realize the capabilities of this system in Nokia phones, you need to purchase an application called Nokia Car Mode (about $ 20). We will see how MirrorLink works a little later, but for now we will begin to get acquainted with the hero of our story. therefore, it would be nice to transfer the mobile user interface to the head unit with minimal changes.
