Will drop you a PMhow is it activated?? i live in east london so it should be quite easy for me to meet you.
Fully aware and understand. VIM has it's real world uses however and is needed in order to install mirror link and "other" additional devices, for example in order to gain 3rd party Sat Nav integration.I assume you are both away that it is illegal to have a moving video screen within the field of view of the driver whilst driving. This is why Audi stop it from working. Not only is it illegal but more importantly it is dangerous - you cannot watch the screen and the road at the same time. I know, it will be for the passenger to look at. But it is still both illegal and dangerous and it will be within the drivers field of vision.
If that is what it is being used for then fair enough. But NOT for watching DVD's whilst on the move. What is the legal position when it is used in that way? I suppose no different to using the normal Sat Nav or any other Sat/Nav device.Fully aware and understand.

Am able to activate VIM on any MMI unitI suppose you have to have the advanced tech pack to have this activated.Would be quite keen on the mirror device and other device links
Now all i need to do is get you and the cable to Cape Town...any chance you can do this via skype?Am able to activate VIM on any MMI unit
Unfortunately its not possible to do this remotely. I need to plug in to the ODB port as like with VCDS the needed cable act's as an encryption dongle.Now all i need to do is get you and the cable to Cape Town...any chance you can do this via skype?
Funny thing is that you cannot watch a full film while parked up anyway as by default the MMI "sleeps" after 10mins of non-interaction. The sleep timer can be changed but only to a max of 60mins.Never saw the point of dvd playback, can't use it on the move and I'd have thought it would do your battery no favours watching a 90 min film when you're parked up.

As a very simple example, and something I just happen to be testing at the moment, installing a mirror link box. Currently I have a Wifi Airplay unit which is connected to my AMI port which when selected as an input source will mirror my phone screen. I can then display any iOS SatNav application via my MMI screen. VIM is needed to continue usage whilst in motion. Mira cast units exist for Android users also.When you say integration with 3rd party sat navs, how would that work? Does it let you load Google Map navigation, for example, onto the MMI?
Larbel, can you give me some details of the mirror link system. May be i can use that as a route to get the maps displayed on the MMI, i did not get sat nav in my car. Bought a used one.Here in Hong Kong, navi isn't even offered as an option, it only comes with MMI radio plus with 5.8" screen, AMI, AAS and BT
I'm about to install a mirrorlink system for AirPlay or Android screen mirroring for the sole purpose of getting Google map on screen, but as a bi-product, it will also activates video in motion should I play YouTube or something on the phone, not my intention, again, it's just a bi-product..
This is like the one I am testing. Nothing amazing but for the money it does the job:Larbel, can you give me some details of the mirror link system. May be i can use that as a route to get the maps displayed on the MMI, i did not get sat nav in my car. Bought a used one.
