Any news on this?

I have the same problem with my Z3+(Z4) when trying to connect to my Lexus Infotainment system via Mirrorlink.

Mirrorlink works fine in my car. The main problem is,Mirrorlink is a failed and completely useless technology. Only certified apps work with Mirrorlink :

For an app to be certified it has to be non distracting and approved by the car connectivity consortium.

Download a certified app such as rockscout and you should see it on your car's head unit. If you don't, visit your dealer and ask for your head unit firmware to be updated.

Mirrorlink works fine with the z3 and my Peugeot 108 and also on the Toyota aygo.

Another major issue with Mirrorlink is that Google and Apple are working on their own alternatives: Android Auto and Apple Carplay. These technologies are going to replace Mirrorlink completely. In theory Mirrorlink should have been like Bluetooth but from what I can tell reading various articles the cumbersome approval requirements discouraged app makers to get their apps certified, and now the technology despite being able to mirror your screen 100% is left mostly unused and only a few useless apps support it as you can see from the Mirrorlink and car connectivity consortium website.
