Mirrorlink?

Hi, can someone tell me if the new Xperia XZ supports Mirrorlink?
Have tried searching around but can't find a definite answer.

Is that the same thing?
I have a car head unit that supports Mirrorlink, my current phone (Nexus 6) doesn't support and I know a lot of Sony phones do....

So they are different technologies, but is anyone able to confirm if the XZ supports Mirrorlink?
It seems maybe not...

According to this review, the phonne does have Mirrorlink (3rd paragraph under the "Connectivity" heading.)
Can someone please confirm if htis is correct?

Any luck with the mirror link? I just tried mine today and it won't work after Sony told me it would.

Hi all,

I'm afraid that according to the information available in the white paper, MirrorLink isn't supported by the Xperia XZ.

@Davez3 I'm sorry if you were misinformed about this.

Bit late after a lashed out 480 quid for a phone that's not as good as my old one.

Well its update time. After being told the xz supports mirrorlink and after handing over 480 hard earned pounds for a xz, my 3rd and final sony phone. Until then im going back to my z3, which for me is a better phone. Or to a different brand which offers it.
