Default Android screen mirroring possible with the 12" Sync 4 screen?

I can attach my phone to it via Android Auto wirelessly but are there any options to do screen mirroring?

My wife's bmw has wireless android auto and screen mirroring so I wasnt sure if that was possible on the 2021s

I have not seen anyone that has been able to accomplish this yet... maybe time will tell, and someone can figure it out. I'm sure eventually, a dongle or add-on box will be developed to allow this for Android Auto & Apple Carplay. <Fingers Crossed>

Just give it a day or two. Big Brother Facebook is always watching. You'll start getting ads for it soon

I've been interested in this also. This is the only thing I found so far on-line that seems to do it. Here is a video and the link for the website is in the video description.

And from the same company you can convert the sync to Android with this add-on:
