The Orange cables Connection with the black connector is key to have sound. Very good job Flexx you resolve my problem that I have since 4 days. I appreciate your clear and detail video . Bonjour from Lyon France Flexx
I ordered mine and it arrived last weeks, having it installed by a pro in a couple of days!
Lol that's actually more responsive than 90% of factory entertainment systems I've used. Excellent upgrade.
Bro…best infotainment system I’ve used to date.
Really well done video Flexx. As expected the product is really nice.
Flexx, thank you for this video. I purchased this MASSIVE touchscreen from DMP and installed it in my '16 C300. I had this video playing on my iPad as I successfully completed the install. I LOVE THE NEWLY ADDED FUNCTIONALITY! Sadly, Mercedes termination of 3G meant that much of the COMAND system became useless. This new screen replaces the OEM Mercedes apps with easily updatable Android/iPhone apps. I love when people in SUVs are behind me at night at a traffic light. It's awesome to see their jaws drop if I switch from Google Maps to Spotify to Google Podcasts to iHeart Radio and so on. The new processor is almost as fast as the one in my also brand-new OnePlus 11 5G! Functionally and aesthetically it is PERFECT! The last time that I opened up a dash was to install a Blaupunkt head unit in a 1994 Saturn. This video gave me the confidence of knowing that I could install it myself!
Thanks Flexx! Keep up the good...nah...GREAT WORK!
Arnel in Pittsburgh
Wow!!!!
What an awesome video with the thorough installation info! Thanks!
Installed the same one on my C350e, absolutely love it. CarPlay works great. I got a SIM card for it with data only and it’s really good. The Chinese android tablet head units have come a long way
Just ordered! Thanks for the code coupon! Can’t wait to get this thing in!
Professional as always.. looks awesome 😎
every merc guys needs a friend like you. :)
I need friends. Cars are currently my friends
It’s so cool that you get to do this 🤩🤩
I just purchased one, I was so tired of the old OEM screen, that was very limited for Android devices, can't wait to install it.
Is the first cable connected to the new one for audio ? I’ve installed it on my cla but I don’t remember unplugging that cable and putting on the new one the screen works fine but my car has no bass and I already tried adjusting the sound of it but no bass please help
Great demo for a smooth installation Tkx
Very good detailed video and this will indeed fit the GLC too as I have a very similar one in my car, but this unit has clearer images on the NTG and reverse camera functions.
Great work 👍
Yup. For sure. My wife uses the NTG interface more than I do and she wants it to look “normal” and this screen definitely does it.
Best video I've found regarding the multimedia. I regret not being in the States so that we could do this together. In Switzerland everything is damn overpriced..
Great session Alex! Since the android unit intercepts the 360 cams to record (e.g. parking sentry mode-ish)? Thx for ur thoughts chief.
Do the steering wheel controls still work? For answering the phone/ volume etc? Am i correct in thinking they didn't before when you fitted something to a w205?
in terms of OEM display distortion, does the 10'' one display better or the 12'' one? Thanks
What size torx screwdriver did you use?
I'm french and I would like to say you, thanks you for yours good videos.
Im dutch and i would like to say okay
Hahahahahhahaha. Oké
Alex ....simply the best !!!!
Hi, nice video. One question : how do you get the split view when putting Reward mode (R). My view get is wide and it's very ugly.
When I use the EQ app that the screen comes with. It does not make any changes. Do I have to switch a setting to your the built in EQ app
really cool. does it suppprt HUD? or is it possible to use old navigation (garmin) for HUD?
Hey Flexx. I loved this video. Thank you. Got mine installed. Everything worked great until the aux to usb audio box that plugs in to the armrest started acting up. Sometimes it connects sometimes it does not. I’ve seen the blue light on and off. Do you think DMP can provide a replacement ? Have you heard such a thing?
Hi Flex, can i update my Mercedes 10,25" for w205 2017 with android 10 to android 11. And so where can i find the software.
Can I put the speaker + GPS and WIFI receivers in the same location. Is the plastic orange tool part of the package
Hi flexx I have installed my system thanx to your video but when the car starts the whole system goes off when I turn the ignition off it comes on again any ideas thank you
Hey Flexx I’m having trouble snapping the air vent back up into place. Could you advice me on how to reinstall this? Thank you!
Hey flex thank you for this detailed video really appreciate it, can you please let me know how can I pick the right model number for my 2018 c 300 .. I have the larger screen with the touch pad. Would really appreciate your response I am looking for the exact same setup as yours. TIA
Hi Flex, Hope you are well. Just a quick question. I installed this screen on my W204 but forgot to install the additional microphone. Would i need to open the entire radio unit or can i just remove the screen bracket on top and pluf the cable in ? I got this done as a garage using your video. Thanks for your support :)
Hi Flexx,
greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 Stuttgart. I subscribed like 1 or 2 Years ago thank you for your Video’s and stay healthy.
👍🏾🤞🏾
Best wishes.
hello flexx if i want to install the orginal screen from mercedes what should i do ?
and let me know if its works with my car or not c300 2018
Just opened the center speaker cover in my second hand C350e.. And realized there is no speaker inside. Is it normal for that model to have an empty speaker soket?
Also.. There is no satelite radio cable where it should be..
Hi, my 2016 CLA 250 doesn’t show an AUX option so, I can’t get audio from the movie player on the android screen. Any ideas on a solution?
Installed the new 12.3" Android 13 (Amazon - Ninetom Seller/Brand ~$509) my W205 2017 c300 today. I skipped the extra Mic, Speaker, Wifi, and Gps part since I will mainly be using the built-in Carplay features with my iPhone 12. Total installation time: ~ 4 hours ( 2 hours yesterday - completely forgot to plug in audio box into the center console/armrest area and the second white (left) main smaller connector which grants access to the old OEM interface and backup camera. 2 hours today - going back in to correct the previous mentioned and cleaning up wires) The most annoying part of the install was routing the wires through the back of the center console, behind the vent. Unfortunately, my vent was weird and when I clipped it down like in the video at 8:35 it didn't want to snap back in place on both sides so it's only snapped up on the right, but it should hold. Used electrical tape to keep the wires together and neat. One tip of advice, which isn't shown in the video well due to the editing, but transfer the two Torx20 screws from the previous bracket to the new one BEFORE putting it in place below the dash. The bracket has clips to keep these screws in place from jumping around. Don't try and lower the screws from the top of the dash into the new bracket - you most likely will lose one. In case you did: N000000000530 is the part #, the sizing is roughly M4 X 25MM. The screw can be found via Ebay etc. Lastly, when setting up my Carplay, I had to go into the OEM audio section and select "AUX" instead of Bluetooth because it was changing back to the Mercedes BT every 2 minutes when in Carplay. I also went into the "Factory" settings section (password: 190627 - most will have this) and select "Manual" instead of "Automatic" under the [Vehicle] Tab - subsection [Audio]. Now I can use Carplay without it going mute/pausing every 2 minutes and when I use my charging cable it auto connects to Carplay as well. Local Best Buy did not want to install the device and so with the help of Flexx's tutorial and some extra research to correct a few user mistakes, this upgrade is now complete! Good luck and have fun - its well worth it!
Nice write up! Appreciate you sharing your experience with the community!!! 😎🤙🏼
Does the new screen have any wires to add a amp or sub?
Can you use the factory rotary dial with the new screen?
Hi, does the Bluetooth screen stays on top while on a phone call? I find it completely locks out every other screen while on a call do it means you cannot view Gps, maps or anything at all while on a phone call
Hey, trying to do this on my Mercedes w212 facelift, but i ant find the satellte radio Connection… ant tips?
Love what your doing bro 2 questions so I have a 2018 c300 base model sedan will this android screen also work wIth i phone? Also can i put the ambient lighting kit on my 2018 c300 base model? Thanks flex
Upgraded w ugh this monitor in my A45, having issues with video and sound not sync, any fix suggestions please?
Is there a way to not show the speed gauge when putting in reverse?
Nice video. Just installed the exact same size on my W205. My friends said it's too large in proportion. But my principal is, Go Big or Go Home. Or Stay Calm and follow whatever mods Flexx is on and you won't go wrong. Lol.
Bro. It’s the perfect size. 😎🤙🏼
Hey flex if you use your phone navigation via apple carplay do you have to install the gps antenna or the microphone or speaker
Hey, buddy! I'm facing an issue when using Android Auto. When I receive a call then a blue call screen appears when being in a call. So I can't use Google Maps while talking. Any thoughts? 😁
Guys my factory head unit is stuck in reboot loop and lines on screen can I fit this or does my main head unit still need to be replaced ?
It’s interesting for me if the head up display will work after that?
Is this screen compatible with the GLC300 2018 using Head-Unit Include CarPlay? Can I use this screen to display a simplay carplay function? At that time, I need to install GPS antenna, wifi antenna?
Hi is the steering wheel changes able to newest model ?
Help pleaee ,I'm connected. Radio saund working, but since I'm turn TH-cam and Spotify doesn't work saund from dashboard. Thanks
This is awesome Flexx. I was looking at this kit but wondering how it looks and how to install it. I have a few questions please. I have a 2017 C43. Is it correct that the steering wheel controls won’t work for up down track skipping, but the volume buttons will work? And is there any dependency with the USB ports? I don’t have an AUX option in my 8.4” COMAND NTG 5.5 system. Will this still work for my car? Thank you.
i have the same car what did you end up doing?
I want to get this for my 2018 c300 coupe but i'm nervous because some people are complaining of no sound, will it work if I already have the burmester upgraded sound system and if so will i be able to listen to my music using the burmester system with my audio settings?
Absolute Quality.
where can i find the updates?
Je vous suis depuis la France 🇫🇷 , Merci pour cette vidéo . Thanks you so much
Any issues going from Park to Drive and the front camera switching on? Also, do the touchpad functions all work?
I have a unit installed and have both of those issues so I’m considering upgrading to this one in my GLC 43 AMG.
Sounds like you didn’t configure your screens setting right. Mine works fine.
hi flexx i have w 204 i dont know how can i update my navigation system i dont have a disk in my car plz can u help me from whre shoud ii bay the disk?
After pulling out the radio set, I found no 2 red wire, the radio settllite connection.What should I do next.
Yo flex... I got the 2020 w205 c63s sedan. I love the system just want to keep my videos playing as I drive...
I know it's for safety reasons ( 😇) but I want the videos to continue playing whilst I drive...
Please advise!
Good job for à good screen.
Thx for the vidéo from morroco.
Hi. I’ve fixed it in my W205 C200. But when we tried the function, the usb is not connected and the volume cannot be adjusted. We checked the installation, nothing went wrong. And also, for the CarPlay, it cannot access the TH-cam as well.
Hey Flexx, been trying to reach out with some questions. I did the install on my new Android 12.3 Touch Screen on 2016 E400 with NTG 5.1s. Thank to your video. However, noticed there was a Aux Audio out and Aux Audio in type male and female connectors main harness. Wasn't sure so I simply connected these two aux type connectors together, and didn't use the USB audio box. Everything else was straight forward and seems to work beautifully. However, when trying to listen music from the Android side there is no sound. OEM side works just fine. Could it be that USB audio box that I ignored? Please reach out let me know. Thanks
Yes. Need to plug aux into usb Audio box. Then audio box into usb slot.
I can’t get the audio to run of off just the unit itself like the screen doesn’t play any sound only my phone wjen it’s connected Bluetooth h
Do this works in a 1999 mercedes c class (w202)
Hi Flexx. Do you know if 360 degree stock cameras and animation are displayed in andoid? (Image from above the car and auto switch from the back to the front camera)
Also, it is possible to use split screen?
Will this work on a 2021 C43?
Does anyone know where I can get my installments done in Houston ?
Great video, thanks to you i was able to install mine, however after 2 months now my reserving camera doesn’t work and the dashboard, anyone know of this issue and how to resolve it?
I found no 2 radio satellite connection at the back of radio after pulling it out. How I am going to do. Can I just ignore those 2 red satellite connections and skip that step
Hey Flexx, another great video! At the 24min mark, you click the vents back in. After doing this, i have no air coming through my centre vents. What could i have done differently?
Sorry. No clue.
Does anyone know where I can get this installed in Chicago?
Hey Flexx, have you ever seen the little orange check engine light after installing this on your W205? Mine didn’t show up after first, but now it does?
Most of the time, Check engine lights aren’t associated to electronics. You need to go to autozone or a shop and have them pull the fault code on why the car is throwing a check engine light.
If you didn’t disconnect the car battery during the install, you probably trigger the car to have a fault. Only way to know is have a shop extract the fault code.
Hi what about the display on the instrument cluster? Will it show the song name or playlist while using the android apps like Spotify or while on carplay? Would it allow us to scroll up and down to select the audio while on carplay or Spotify or TH-cam music?
No. When you are using the android interface (CarPlay), the audio source is on aux. the digital display in the gauges will say aux or USB
Hay man, my voice command is not working is it normal? Can't use it for phone.
Great install video .. everything went smooth .. I did however have to go in the camera setting and switch it to OEM but quick fix
Yeh. The screens settings need to be setup properly for your specific car. Most people think you physically install and it’s done but that’s not how it works.
Hey flexx do you know how to get wired car play working? The 2 USBs didn’t work and the OEM USB ports don’t work either. Only wireless CarPlay works but it takes too long to connect (GPS is placed next to rain sensor, 4g/wifi antenna placed under glove box)
Don’t know. My CarPlay auto connects as soon as I get into my car and I have Bluetooth/WiFi turned on my phone. You need to contact DMP for support if you bought from them.
Hello. Do you have video of installation Dsp box that solves the sound delay with Ntg 5? Just ordered this from Dmp
I don’t but they might. You need to contact them for instructions.
Hey Flexx! Love the mod, just got a 2017 C300 4MATIC with the NTG5.0 and Audio 20 package. I do not even have navigation on the car, and I highly value CarPlay. Just wanted to ask: as you've used the new head unit over time, has there been much latency? I noticed it took toward the longer side showing the backup camera in reverse. I also want to know if a.) after you go into reverse, does head unit bring you back to NTG or does it go back to CarPlay? (Assuming you were in CarPlay before R-gear) and b.) if I can change the digital speedometer to something else. I don't like giving my passengers a window into the absurdity of my er-- less orthodox driving habits.
Thanks!
1) it goes back to whatever screen you were last on. And it actually isn’t that slow. It’s pretty quick.
2) the only thing you can do is go into the secret menu and stretch the interface to cover the entire screen if you want to get rid of the speed gauge on the side. But then your interface is slightly stretched versus being true to the resolution dimensions.
Feel free to ask DMP directly. There’s always updates and new screens available. They can answer any questions you have probably way better then I can.
Hello !, incredible videos you make ! , i m about to get one, checking everything i was wondering, is it really necessary to place the gps in the top front crystal ?
Yes, If you want the best GPS signal for when you use the android gps app on the screen.
Has anyone done this on their 2019 GLC300? I'm trying to figure out which kit I need. I think it's the NTG 5.5
Hello friend, how do I remove the echo when they call me. the person who calls me hears his own voice.
Help plis
Thanks
Hi Flexx, why does the screen need a different GPS and WiFi receiver instead of using the built-in receivers?
Because the stock receivers only work with the oem interface.
Sorry Flexx, can you tell me if I need to follow the installing CarPlay video as well if I want CarPlay? Or will I have access to that automatically with the new screen? Thank you
Auto
Hello Flex, do I have to install the microphone and speaker? I don’t like the way it looks out of place. Please advise.
No but I would install the speaker (since it’s hidden anyway.).
The mic is just for extra voice pick up. It’s not required but helps with phone calls and voice commands.
With the aftermarket screen, do you get the 360 camera that comes with the original system? I have a 2014 E 400 coupe. Crazy about the car, just not the infotainment system. Someone told me that with the aftermarket infotainment systems, you lose the cameras functionality that comes with the car.
You don’t get a camera with the screen. I already showed in the video that the screen supports the oem camera or any aftermarket installed camera.
My push button will not work it says no key detected can u please help me
hi Flexx, I have built the android screen from MDP in my GLC and have some questions, my rear camera shows the half screen, but wenn i turn to D mode, i can see the rear camera very well. Another question ist the android audio, i don't hear anything, wenn i turned to origin mercedes menu, it works great. Do I have to change settings anywhere?
You need to setup the screen properly. Those you mentions are not issues with the screen but your settings.
Hey Flex, I got the 10.25 android screen and I have the same kit as you. Do you ever experience any audio delay? I’ve done some research and they said that switching the usb audio box to a DSP box fixed the issue. Do you have any experience with this?
It is normal, but if you want no delay, do the aux 3.5 mode or dps
Im trying to decide between this or the module for android auto. Any advice? My main concern is everything working seemlessly
And the only 2 apps ill be using are waze and youtube music
Hi Flex, thanks for making these videos and having that 5% off code. I recently got in my android screen and I wanted to know if I had to use the microphone and the speaker they sent with my screen in order to use voice control? I notice in one of your older videos the screen didn’t come with the extra mic and speaker. It’s my first time installing a screen and I want to keep my install looking as clean as possible
The speaker and the mic is not a must. It definitely helps but the screen will still work for calls and turn by turn direction without them. If you want to triple check, just contact DMP and raise the question. They can confirm.
Hello Flexx, congratulations for all your interesting videos!!!
I would like to know if the android screen could work on a C Class Coupe 180 of 2017, that has the basic screen and the garmin navigation system.
Ps do you recommend the new screen, after some months that you have used it?
Thank you very much!!
Don’t know. We don’t have c180 model in the US so I’m not familiar with it. You can reach out to DMP Car Design directly. They can definitely help you 100%.
And I haven’t had this for months. I had it for years and I still love it. Zero issues with my screen.
Hi Flexx. Great video and install. Can you please tell me if it’s possible to run the NTG menu full screen without having the split screen with speedo on the side? Thanks!
You can but it’s in a hidden menu. The screen view is gonna look stretch though cause the oem NTG aspect is not designed for a wide screen. If you wanna do it, you need to contact whoever sold you your screen on a walk-thru along with the password to your screen to enter the hidden menu.
I ahve a question do I need to install the CARPLAY MODULE first and then this?, or this comes with the module and everything
The screen has everything
Hey man It look dope but does it work or can you manage your ambient lightning with this screen?
I'd like to know this too.
Hi Flexx , I've installed the same display on my C220 2015. My audio and reverse camera don't work in the android interface but they're okay in the stock MB interface. Any fixes you would suggest?
You didn’t setup your android setting correct. You need to contact whoever sold you the screen for how to set it up for your specific car.
Hey, I was wondering if it’s possible to control the ambient light’s that u install earlier from the screen ?
Yes. There’s an ambient kit that has controls from the screen. I’m gonna be doing a video on this soon.
Hey flexx, how long did it take to get to you. I ordered a few days ago, and UPS said it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but has not been given to UPS yet. Just looking for a general timeframe of when to expect it.
I’m sponsored so my shipping is not like yours. You need to ask DMP directly if you want estimated ship times.
Hey Flexx, did you notice any audio quality degradation from using the aux to USB option?
no issues. Sounds good.
Some person experience interference/static but installing a ground loop noise isolator usually cleans up the audio.
