Android app to adapt "MirrorLink 1.0 interface Toyota Lexus Group" - General Questions and Answers

Hello.
I drive a Lexus NX300h luxury.
As other cars of Toyota Lexus group, this car has a MirrorLink interface, according the manufacturer's specifications, certified only with an old Galaxy S3 i9300 with android 4.3 with MirrorLink 1.0.
The Toyota Lexus Group has decided not to upgrade its MirrorLink interface from 1.0 to 1.1 for reasons I do not know.
It would be very useful to me as to many other users of the group's car Toyota Lexus an app that allows you to emulate an Android device like a Samsung Galaxy S3 with MirrorLink 1.0 in order to be interfaced with the info-entertainment system in the car.
Should be possible to do ?
I don't know.
But if it is possible it will be really useful for a lot of owners of Toyota Lexus cars.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.

[Q] How advanced is the concept to combine bluetooth with android and the ps3?

This is a question which has sent me into a Google rabbit hole.
So we have a powerful video game console, the ps3;
PS3 connects to select devices via bluetooth, but there doesn't seem to be a working model to connect an Android device to voice chat in game via bluetooth? We can video chat on the correct device, and there are apps such as the BlueputDroid (speaking of, where can I suggest a feature or permission to add a feature myself). Obviously this isn't an easy task. How would one get started? If this seems tacky, consider this; $300 for the PS3, then android devices range in price, but upwards to the $500 mark. I don't know about you, but there has got to be a slip in the programming of software on either the PS3 or Android (or both) for these to be high end devices, but lack of a popular feature among the gaming community. Thanks in advance!
P.S. Yes, I do have access to the Bluetooth SDK.

DVB-T for Android Stick - Is there any solution?

I've been looking for over a month for a quad core Android Tv stick or Box with an integrated DVB-T receiver but there is none on the market!
There lot's single and dual cores out there but if you want something more high end then you're out of luck!
Is there a way for an
Android TV box/Stick (exaple: K-R42 Quad Core Google Android 4.2.2 RK3188)
to support
a simple DVB-T dongle/stick/thingy? (example: Geniatech PT115m)
or just any kind of tuner?
Since there are lot's of tv tuner sticks out there for android tablets its logical that they could work on an android tv box or stick.
I'd be more than grateful if someone has the resources to test this out and share the results.
What are the compatible hardware?
How responsive actually is (if so working) tv browsing?
How about remote control, PVR, Timeshift, etc support?
Which app does this work with?
Wanna make a Media Center for my kid with XBMC and NAS.
