Screen mirroring - only half screen? Help please!

Hi there guys.

Anyone got an android phone and screen mirrored there device successfully will know that when you do so, when playing for example a music video, it displays and only shows half the screen on the IDrive screen? And not using up the whole screen? Have I missed something? Is there a way to make this full screen mirroring?

Thanks in advance

Not sure its half screen, more like there are black bars on either side. Can you send a picture to explain what you mean by half screen.

QNX limitation; OS cannot render full screen reliably.

When playing video, you must render to correct resolution/dimensions.
