Sony MirrorLink (XAV601BT)

[xxthrillxx]

Here it is...

BTW... I adjusted the audio with the built in EQ and sounds much better... Mids and Highs are amazing... Bass is lacking a bit but can be fixed with a small Sub. ill see if i can post a vid later on.

wow my bad, i didnt realize how big the image was...


In the pic i was using streaming Pandora from my phone to the HU. Its pretty cool because you can choose your previous stations as well as see the artist, title and album art...

You mind doing a vid review? I don't see much reviews going around.

Awesome bro! Do you got a video yet?

Looks great, do you happen to be using an iPhone? I was wondering if the mirror link was any good, and does the built in stock bluetooth work with it? also you're in my hood, where'd you get it installed at?

Im currently using an Android - HTC ONE S. Havent been able to use the MirrorLink yet... It only supports Nokia Symbian phones at the moment. It is supposed to work well with Android and iPhone sooner than later i hope.

I bought the head unit at Best Buy... but because i dont trust the high school kids installing my stuff, i took it to a guy who charged way less and was super pro. Its right down the street from my house on Inglewood Ave and 138th i think it is... ABC Auto & Sound.

Gonna go back soon and get a small Subwoofer installed.

BTW, are you asking about the OEM microphone (bluetooth) in the car?

[LeavingNormal]

Yeah the oem Bluetooth mic is what I meant. That's cool I think I pass b that audio place every day on my way to work. Might just get it off amazon.

I stumbled upon a link i think i saw on this forum somewhere, where you have to solder some wires into the OEM mic to bypass and make it work with the aftermarket head unit... looks tricky but do-able. Maybe ill give it a go later on.

I just got my OEM USB working today... waiting for the servo cables to do the AUX

***Friendly Note*** if you want to use the OEM USB... Once you have cleared the metal surrounding around the male end of the USB... you have to pull up the metal prongs just a bit so that they can make contact with the OEM USB... was breakin my head for a minute LOL

the bluetooth in this thing sucks, I had this unit for about a week, put the mic in several different places couldnt come up with any good spots including the oem place where the road noise didnt drown out your voice. The head unit has some potential but wasnt for me. also the mirror link supposedly will only work with new phones. there few nokia's, and the galaxy s 3 are the only ones it supports

What was involved in the fit in terms of brackets, dash adapters etc.

Looks like a nice unit.

I wasn't digging the appradio 2 at first but I think I'll be going with that, apparently their jail break lets you use most apps on the touch screen which is what I wanted. Also dash command 2 looks sick.
