galaxy s5 mirroring to car screen

mickdw

I've got a device that I'm installing in my car that will mirror my phone screen to the in dash screen. I don't see an issue there but I'm trying to set up my phone to switch into a 'car configuration' automatically so that as soon as I get into the car, the phone locks to landscape, turns on driving / car mode,
Activates screen mirroring and selects stay awake for phone screen.
I would require it to revert to original setting when leaving car.
Now its a wifi connection that mirrors to screen so I was trying with free trigger app to setup some of those functions. I can get the phone to activate car mode and disable screen rotation when it sees the car wifi and likewise revert from those setting when leaving car wifi.
I cannot figure out how to activate an automatic mirroring.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you're using Tasker. If not then you may want to consider it. I use Tasker to put my phone into a Car Mode with similar attributes as your own.

The app I used is called trigger.
