Mirrorlink Update May Be On The Way!

Going from the old system to the new touch screen - the touch screen is a million times better. The Citroen menu system is utter pants in comparison. Before the update (and i still can) everything was done by bluetooth, but now having the Carplay installed albeit via a cable for the moment until the bluetooth release is ready, functionality is far superior.

oh and the phone fits in the pocket next to the usb port so no need for cables everywhere!

I gather that the official Citroen link to the system 6.1.D.R20 software from December 2015 expired on the 25th July which perhaps suggests that a newer update version is now out. Does anyone know?

Not sure Hugh as my service was in may or june of this year.

@doofer For people who want to use the sat nav installed on a phone (Sygic in my case) and have it display on the Berlingo touch screen, then Mirror Screen (Mirror Link) obviously has to work. Thus the need for updates so that it does, as on my phone the touch screen system 6.0 does not work. When you have a 7" screen in the car designed for the purpose, one shouldn't have to mount the phone on the dashboard for sat nav nor buy additional sat nav equipment.

The phone compatibility issue is another reason these updates are needed, even for basic functions like displaying phone contacts on the screen, which currently does not work with my Xperia Z1 phone on system 6.0, although yesterday I discovered a handy bluetooth address book app that does solve this problem.

I use the satnav on the touchscreen over the factory one - simply because it works all from voice command or knows my destination based on time of day. Pretty useful knowing if the traffic is going to be a mare on the way home. GPS on the phone works just fine in the footwell pocket

I hope it's OK to resurrect this old thread? I am hoping that a member will be kind enough to help with our MirrorLink problem.
We have recently bought a 2016 Berlingo Multispace Flair.
My wife was hoping to have an on-screen GPS system but was re-assured that she could use the MirrorLink to mirror Google Maps or whatever from her Samsung Galaxy S5 to the car's screen which satisfied her but, we have been unable to get her phone to link.
Using the info here, I have ascertained that SMEG6.3.C.R.11, CD: 31061, Dated: 09-05-16 is installed.
a) Is this the most up to date system or do we need an update?
b) My wife was told to install Android Auto on her phone by the Peugeot helpline but that doesn't seem to work with the car.
I am hoping we are missing something obvious!

It seems with Android you have to have mirrorlink enabled apps

Thanks for the reply Tree. It's Google Maps that we really want to use to make up for lack of built-in GPS on the Berlingo. Everything I read says it's MirrorLink enabled.
I will keep trying but if anyone else uses a Galaxy S5 successfully can they please say so as that will encourage me to persevere!

I can’t help as I use CarPlay from Apple. That works seamlessly. The only
Issue I ever have is the usb connection dropping from time to time.

Having drawn a blank, I phoned our nearest Citroen dealership and spoke to Colin in the Service Dept (Yeoman's in Exeter). It appears that the only Galaxy phones guaranteed to be compatible are the S9 and the A8. Heyho!
