Is your phone rooted? If so, ditch Android Auto and Mirrorlink, they are both half-baked solutions. Get AppRadio Unchained Reloaded. Full screen mirroring for any app, not just the ones modified to work on AA and Mirrorlink. I had Tasker set up to launch a custom home screen and launcher as soon as the MHL connection was made to make up for the poor resolution (compared to your phone) of the head unit screen.
I tried the app radio unchained using an mhl adapter and hdmi cable and the radio could not mirror my phone and yes the phone was rooted. The radio couldn't figure out the app and connect to it. Didn't matter what setting it was . I could not get it to work
