No more MirrorLink, help!

[tuckertje01]

Yesterday my Galaxy S10 Lite received the June security update, which also removed MirrorLink from the device. I always used Sygic Car Navigation which uses MirrorLink, it does not work with Android Auto. Is it possible to use Sygic Car Navigation without MirrorLink?

The problem is that one of the 'improvements' of the update was the removal of the MirrorLink app, and it can't be added again. We are now supposed to use Android Auto instead, which won't work with Sygic.

I understand and appreciate that you're trying to help, but pressing MirrorLink is not an option because it doesn't exist on the device anymore and it can't be reinstalled again.

See this info I found on the internet:
The latest Galaxy S10 Lite update is focused on improvements, with the changelog promising better fingerprint recognition, camera quality and stability, and audio performance over both earphones and the phone’s speaker. It also removes Mirror Link support from the device – the Mirror Link service was discontinued on June 1 and no longer works, so we can expect Samsung to remove the feature from other devices as well.

Ok , let's see if any other members have a solution for you .

Is this a Note 10 lite ?

Apparently Samsung support for Mirrorlink ended on June 1, 2020, according to Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MirrorLink

As phones get updated after that date, people using that feature will need to find alternate ways to add it back or find some other solution.

Nope, S10 Lite. But all recent devices will follow...

Thanks for the link, but the apk won't parse...

Did you allow installation from unknown sources?

Yes, I have. Just won't install...

That suggests the file may be corrupt. Try downloading again and also try an earlier version from that site

Tried the older versions as well, keeps saying 'app not installed'. Probably prohibited by Samsung.

Dang! It seemed like a good idea at the time

Agreed, and very surprised that it didn't work.
