scope:

The present document is part of the MirrorLink^® specification which specifies an interface for enabling remote user interaction of a mobile device via another device. The present document is written having a vehicle head-unit to interact with the mobile device in mind, but it will similarly apply for other devices, which provide a colour display, audio input/output and user input mechanisms.

The connectivity between the MirrorLink Server and Client is the basis to provide interoperability between both. The Connectivity stack is specified in the following, starting from the low layer and going up the protocol stack.

It is not the objective of the present document to provide a detailed overview of the different protocols. Instead the present document highlights the components and parameters required to ensure proper connectivity. The connectivity solution is built purely on existing wireless and wired standards. Therefore, detailed information is available in the respective documents.
