Yes and yes! hahaha

You can mirror your iPhone in your Chromecast.

And OBDeleven is another OBD2 tool, but you can only use now with Android.. https://obdeleven.com/

VIM can be unlocked with VagCanPro (VCP) too Why VCP ?

I have a Rosstech cable and VagCom and I cannot unlock VIM - I assume VCP is not an option for the RossTech interface cable (?)

I don't know about A3 folks, but it worked for me with VCDS, VAGCOM. I'd check this thread to be sure it's not possible before looking elsewhere.

In your case you have an S6. For A6/S6/A7/Q7 and some versions of Q3/Q5 it is possible to unlock VIM with vagcom. For example in this page: https://trick77.com/tools/mmi3g_vimcode.php

The info on that page also worked for my 2014 A8L... I've seen some alternative data that did not work on my car, but obviously worked on other models/years.

Yep, my 2015 Q7 works too - but not my S3.

You can cast the screen (and liberate the phone screen to other taks):




Or just mirror that you see in the screen:


Google Maps


Sygic


Google Earth


Desktop


Whatsapp
I bought the same set up so how do I get it onto the screen of my car because it's black and not mirroring my phone. Thanks

Very interested in using Android Auto app on my smartphone now that is can be used without an Android Auto headunit. Could you tell us about how the mirroring works to the Chromecast. When we plug in the usb cable between the Chromecast and the smartphone, are we mirroring via the usb cable, or are mirroring via miracast? Is the purpose of the multiple headed usb cable just for power to all the components? Do you have to turn on mirroring on the smartphone. Thanks for your help.
