Used to work with my lenovo vibe p1m. Now upgraded to realme x2. Not working. Error message on rsa key window Got the firmware of the music system updated. Now its working. But resolution is too low

Doesn't work, farthest I got was a screen telling me to enable debugging mode (after I had already done it.) If this app starts working, I will update my review accordingly.

Yes it works. But you need to turn on usb debugging in your phones developers options. Also need to use a cord to connect your phone via the usb on the head unit. I have not been able to get a full screen though on my head unit, so might as well watch my phone since the picture is the same size

For the price you can not expect bigger. 1. You must connect your phone to the head unit with a cable(USB port). 2. If you previously connect the Bluetooth unpair it. 3. Download phonelink(you will stuck on agree or desagree) don't worry we all experience this. 4. Allow your phone to intall unknown source app to download Hp-link. 5. Restart both your phone and your radio. 6. Pair your Bluetooth and you will link your phone to the radio. GPS will work but not on full screen unfortunately.

Same problem as everyone else. Program closes at agree or disagree and there is no solution forth coming from the software company so it seems. Absolute pile of poo....

Uninstalled before even trying once I saw the permissions they want you to give. I guess I have given other apps the same permissions and never knew. Why do these apps need to know the data usage of all my other apps? It seemed I had to give excessive access to all my info to use. Maybe I need to just buy a better radio that has gps and not try to mirror my phone. To the delevoper: Why are you making such a scammy app?

Japanese technology at its best. True to the spirit of Japanese:- why make it simple when you can make it complicated? Hahah. No wonder these Jap chaps will always be behind those Korean or Chinese counterparts. Simply say, if user cannot figure out how to use your system within first few minutes of using then definitely there is something wrong with your design of everything. Stop living in denial and starts listening to your PAID customers. UNINSTALL IMMEDIATELY.

READ WHAT THE DESC. SAYS: The app works if you use the cable like it says. You who are simply trying to connect up w/ Bluetooth it will not work because that's not how its designed to work😐. YOU NEED A CABLE, AS IT SAYS. The cables and adapters are purchasable online. You will need a (connector for your phone) to HDMI and then an HDMI regular or for some car stereos, HDMI to USB. I will try these my self and if it still will not work I will remove this review.

Just wont open press agree, just closes. galaxy S9+ . Update... usb debugging got it working but its useless as the image on the head unit it so pixellated you can't use it. Eventually the phone will come up with a " trying to acess data" error message and it all stops ....
