Mirrorlink Xperia X Compact

Does this device support MirrorLink connectivity ? Found on some sites that supports version 1.1 but I cannot find it in the Settings Menu. Will this function come in a upcoming update ?

Hi @gigel,

Based on the information I have MirrorLink is not supported by Xperia X Compact. It is not mentioned in the device white paper.

Hi,

Hi @realesc, I merged your post with this topic.

I'm afraid that Mirrorlink isn't supported by Xperia X Compact.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

I apologise for the late reply.

I'm afraid I don't have any information regarding future software updates.

For our current devices in the X series, MirrorLink is supported by Xperia X and Xperia X Performance.

It's really a shame the x compact doesn't support the mirror link. My old z3 compact seems having it, same with z5 but not the x compact!!

You really should report this !

Is there a way to include the MirrorLink on the Xperia X Compact? The absence of MirrorLink on the phone prevent me to display the phone navigation on the touch screen of my honda HR-V

This is crazy! I have been a loyal user of the xperia compacts before and they have all worked fine with MirrorLink. When I upgraded my phone i didn't realise i was actually getting a downgrade that would make it more dangerous to use my phone whilst driving!

Why was this not included in any of the documentation of the phone - and to hear the other X series phones are compatable is just an insult. This needs to be more xplicitly marketed as you cannot just remove functionality that people are taking for granted as a neccesity from it being used in previous devices for several years!

We need an answer of when this is likely to be resolved - or even if it can be resolved.

Exactly! It's a madness that by having a newer phone I lose such a feature just because a prefer a smaler device.

I really hope they'll fix it.

I have the same problem and the same question.

In my new car it would be very necessary to use some features with mirror link.

So is there any way to upgrade this feature to the x compact??

I stil wonder why this can't be done!

I still want to use this mobile but if this won't work in the near future i'm afraid I have to switch to another model.

I bought an android car stereo for the main reason to mirrorlink my Xperia ☓ compact which worked fine while it was on android 7.x Noughat. However recently my phone was updated to android 8.0 Oreo and since then the mirrorlink feature has stopped working.

Is there a way for Sony to fix this issue??

Hello,

me, too, would be interested to hear if there is any possibility to get the MirrorLink functionality to the Sony Xperia X Compact.

@Billah, has this actually worked on your phone before your update to Oreo?

If so, is it possible to downgrade the phone from Android 8.0 to Android 7.x?

Will the X Compact likely get an update to Android 8.1 in the near future and is there the chance that this update includes MirrorLink?

I can't say anything in regards to future updates and there's unfortunately no way to downgrade to the previous software version.

The mirrorlink worked great before the Oreo perfectly. I always thought software update was to make the features better This is the opposite way round. Looks like I'll be getting rid of my Xperia ☓ compact and get something else that's not on Oreo.

I dug up some information from this forum for you.

Re: mirrorlink

Billah — Mon, 13 Aug 2018 19:54:08 GMT

I don't understand why Sony shay's that as it worked perfectly well before the 8.0 Oreo update.

If it didn't, I wouldn't of had a reason to mention it on this forum..🙂

Morning,

I have Experia X and it has Mirrorlink application(s). However in new car, when USB connected, screen reacts with connection but ultimately fails to replicate mobile screen to car screen saying unable to find link in device? Get my audio & can make calls etc via bluetooth fine and as car has own built in Sat Nav ok with that, but really would like Mirrorlink functionality to work also. How might i be able to fix this?

Re: mirrorlink

Billah — Sun, 06 Oct 2019 18:02:44 GMT

There is no fix for it.

Its not Sony but rather, Google that has stopped mirrorlink support from Android version 7/8.
