How to use Sygic with MirrorLink
NOTICE: In May 2020 Samsung made an announcement, stating that they will be dropping support
for MirrorLink connectivity on June 1st, 2020. Unfortunately, this means that even Samsung phones
which worked with MirrorLink previously, will lose this functionality. There is nothing that we, or other
developers of MirrorLink compatible apps, can do to influence this or to return this functionality to
Samsung devices. If you wish to contact them about it, here is a link to Samsung’s support page:
samsung.com/uk/support/contact
In order to connect your phone to your car via Mirrorlink, please check the following:
1. Make sure your car supports Mirrorlink 1.1.
2. Make sure your phone supports Mirrorlink 1.1
3. If your devices don’t appear on any of the lists above, you may want to consider contacting
your device/vehicle manufacturer and ask them directly whether it is compatible. Not all devices
are listed on those pages, since manufacturer sometimes choose not to display their products on

might not work right if the phone screen is locked.
