MirrorLink is a standard that has been set, so that users of Smartphones will be able to connect their phones to their in-dash screen, and the screen will then “Mirror” the phones controls for features like Music, Navigation etc. So no need to touch the phone – your screen turns into your phone!

This standard, set by the CCC – Car Connectivity Consortium, is already being adopted by car makers and phone makers alike, so that Smart-phone users can link their favorite applications to their car infotainment system – at long last!

Currently, MirrorLink enabled phones are Nokia 700, 701 and 603 with more to come soon, Android systems will be added to the list and HTC, Samsung, LG and Sony are amongst the phone makers already signed up to this standard.

So watch this space! Make sure that you are “up to speed” on this exciting opportunity to be in the driving sear from the word Go!.

The X8 also features advanced iPod/iPhone connectivity, Touch, Drag and Flick control, Favourite App Display, 3 x 4v Preouts, Time Alignment, 9 Band Parametric EQ, Web Sound Setting Service, Bluetooth, Streaming, Simple Codeless Pairing with up to 5 phones, Update via USB, all Media playback etc etc etc.

Other car audio manufacturer’s will follow but Alpine Electronics were first again and with their unbeatable build quality will always be the best.
