Two most important things:

1) find and code all of these settings - use the app's search function:

2) Use a device with Miracast like the LG Nexus 5 or the Samsung Galaxy line. There are over 30 different Android models that support the feature.

Once coded, the "Screen Mirroring" option should now show up as a selection under Communication / Manage Mobile Devices / Connect new device.

Select that. Then on your phone go to Display settings / Cast Screen (on a Nexus 5 for example). This should start the phone-car pairing using Wifi Direct. Once paired, you should be able to select Screen Mirroring from the Media/Radio menu any time you want to see the phone's screen (when phone is in casting mode).

The Nexus 5 is kept wireless charging in the armrest with internet wifi tethering to another phone - a Google Pixel which doesn't support Miracast in software currently. The Nexus 5's Bluetooth connection to car (for audio streaming, hands free, voice commands) works concurrently together with the internet WiFi tether (navigation, music streaming, etc) and Miracast WiFi Direct.
