Hey all I have a Lumia 925 world edition and just ordered one of these
AVIC-6000NEX - <b>NEW!</b> - In-Dash Navigation AV Receiver with 6.1? WVGA Touchscreen Display | Pioneer Electronics USA Its the Pioneer AVIC-6000NEX for my car. Seems like a pretty bonkers head unit with tons and tons of options. It supports MirrorLink, MHL, iPhone, Siri. Basically everything.
I'm running the latest 8.1 developer preview on my 925.
I also use an iPod for podcasts, but would happily dump it if I could just use my Lumia for everything. I while back I picked up a Pioneer AVH-X3600BHS. It also supports Mirror Link with some kind of massive interface box.
Anyway I mention all this because I picked up the iPod 30 pin dock connector for my iPod, but I also got the MirrorLink cable. I don't expect it to work. If it doesn't I'll hold onto it for future expandability. Even if Windows 8.1 supported it, I would think MirrorLink would require some kind of special port with a little extra hardware in the phone. MHL on higher end Android phones is a good example of this.
This is frustrating though, as Android has had MHL for years, and even the older Lumia Symbian phones supported MirrorLink.
Bottom line, I'll be setup for MirrorLink should it become a feature, and would be a driving force into the choice of my next Windows Phone. I got no plans to go back to Android or iPhone. Maaaaaaaaaaaybe it will work with Nokia Drive or "Car Mode", as some kind of magical hidden feature in Win 8.1 DP, but I'm not holding my breath.
If anyone is interested though I can post my findings next week after I get this beast of a headunit installed.

Edit: Just realized this thread is almost exactly a year old. Kinda sad that it's been a year and we still have nothing. *sad face* :crying:
