Dude I keep thinking I’m going to do this for my 2011 W212 coupe. You helped me do a few things on my own but WOW I don’t know if I have the fortitude to tackle this. I’ll probably watch this video 100 times and bit off on this project next Winter maybe? Keep the great vids coming. Love what you do - cheers)
Pleased to hear that my videos coming to use. Is not really that hard, is kinda seems messy with all the cables but when you have it in front of you is really easy to understand and execute. Best advice I could give is not to stress when doing the install, prepare for a full day with all the steps and testing the device before assembly. Be careful when removing the screen if you choose to put the unit back there. Most installers seems to put the unit behind or under the glovebox but is probably same amount of work if not even more.
Thank you buddy. İ have NO ideas about cars and electronics. You helped me to save 150 Euros but especially to make my w212 sweeter as it already was. Sağol garaş.
You don’t have rout the AUX cable to the center council. Just use the cars original Bluetooth 👍🏻. Audio quality is great since I am still using the original Bluetooth and I could still play music and answer phone calls from car play 😁
Thank you for this very nice and detailed video. Is there a specific detail to identify the correct NTG model of my Audio 20 (SA Code 523) system in my C Class W204 (year 2012)? Also there is no reverse cam in my car. If I install a cam will it be possible to use it with the trajectorie markers and parking lines etc?
hello thank you for sharing , do you think that is safe to install it behind the screen ? Is the temparature very hot in that area ? is there any problem when the outside temperature is showing 42°C ?
I have this kit. I have tried to fit a couple of times but I cannot get the radio unit to go back far enough I assume it is the double connecter is jammed behind the unit, any advice olease
I have a very similar unit added to my C207 ntg, and found the screen blanks intermittently. I have asked the installer for advice, but his reply is take a pic of the screen blanking out, which is difficult to do whilst driving? Is it a fault with the unit or a wiring issue?
I tried it too, for my R172. Although the screen size is different, the aspect ratio is the same, and I had the same problem as you. The image is vertically stretched, because these screens are 5:3 and the box outputs a different aspect ratio. Did you notice it? I emailed the seller, but unfortunately I did not get an answer.
I'm looking at the reviews. Why are so many people saying that it dies after a few months? Is it because the dial switches get knocked while being in the car? I need some reassurance for this buy
Det du gjorde blev riktigt bra. Jag hade gärna velat göra lika på min E 250 men vågar inte ge mig på detta jobb. Kanske till våren, man vet aldrig. Kanske kan få lite mer tips/hjälp från dig. Beröm för det du gjort 👍👍
Got that module from eBay today. Instalation wasn't difficult at all but I was not able to get sound out of it. I did set the AUX to on on the engineering menu but nothing happened and connected the jack to the ami port. The module got blazing hot, beyond any safe threshold for operating an electronic device on a enclosed space. Lost audio from my radio. Then, it startet rebooting. Don't know what to do...
Parking sensor and camera works as normal. You could chose in the setting if you like it to switch to original camera display when you put in the reverse or you could have it on aftermarket camera for CarPlay decoder. For my audio 20 system is not possible to add rear camera without this decoder, so is great 👍
Hello, the theft protection has been activated on my W207. Would it still work? My radio is unusable and I'm looking for an alternative. So does the carplay necessarily need the radio?
@MB212 Hi! I am looking for a kit for Audio APS w/o command but with Harman kardon. Do you have something to recommend? What I want the most is to connect phone via cable and use android auto. Any reply would be great help, thank you!
Nice video, after 5 times watching I finally have a guts to install it myself, only issue that I have is Wireless Apple Carplay is not working but Android Auto is working wirelessly and I also installed a reverse camera but the dynamic line (trajectory) is not showing but camera operates normally. Wondering if it is due to my model is Audio 20 with NTG 4.5 which originally doesn’t have video input for reverse camera? Also wondering what brand of that box you have? Mine is Limcet box, maybe the wireless apple carplay issue is this brand faulty
does this technically also replace the head unit? i have subs in my mercedes’ but they don’t hit well because the stock headunit, so if i where to do this, would it solve that problem?
Thanks 🙏 Yess you could find some for NTG 4 but not from this particular brand. mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w212/794234-diy-kremersino-wireless-carplay-ntg4-0-a.html
Amazing video instruction. Have you connected Aux, I couldn't see it? Otherwise how the audio signal from Android comes into original audio system. May I ask also a question regarding a rear camera. I have the video signal from the aftermarket camera connected to Comand via RCA/fakra adaptor. The Comand switches to camera automatically when reverse gear is on (set in engineering menu). My question is: have you tried (or could you try) whether the camera will have a priority over all modes also in case of this Android device connected? I want to keep the current connection of camera directly to Comand, not connecting via Android device if it's possible. This issue holds me back from installing this device. Thanks in advance for your help.
Don’t really know the use for AUX I have not connect it to my car and everything still works. The CarPlay unit is wired to the original system so the sound coming that way. That’s no problem with the rear camera you could chose in the CarPlay menu what’s happening when you put the reverse gear in. You could have it switch to original screen/rear camera or CarPlay unit camera.
Hi MB212. I just purchased one of these units. I have a 2011 e350 cabriolet. The dash looks a little different than the 212 coupe/sedan you filmed. Do you have a film that shows how to remove the head unit from the cabriolet? Appreciate your response. Thanks.
$300? I have a W169 A class with the Audio 20 and I think I'm just better off replacing the whole head unit with an Android 10 system that looks like it's OEM? If this was a cheaper option I'd understand but I can't see why I'd use this?
Var faktiskt över förväntan, och kvalitet var riktigt hög för att vara eftermarknad. Köpte från AliExpress av roadtop. Men det beror på vilken modell du har på systemet, roadtop fungerar inte för NTG 4.
Do you know if original ami/mmi port in glovebox gets de activated when installing this box. It used to work using aux cord but now it doesn’t work anymore after installing.
I don’t know usually here all W212 come with AUX and that’s no needed to use for any aftermarket install such as CarPlay or Android screen. So I think is other configuration over there.
@@MB212 Strange! But how do you connect the CarPlay box with the Audio 20 in order to amplify the audio-signal coming from the box??? you don't have to switch to the AUX-In on your audio 20? I can't understand that :-(
Don’t know the technical how everything works. But when I have Bluetooth to normal system I could use whatever menu I like but when disconnecting Bluetooth to normal system is only working from AUX menu.

Getting one
Amazing! The indicators from the give away will fit perfectly for my estate :)
Very nice. No music and no comments! Good work!
My Man, You are simply THE BEST
Thank you. I'm about to install one of these and that was very helpful. I'm always nervous about removing trim.
Absolutely perfect video.
Great video as always! I will re-route my unit behind the screen over summer! Amazing quality
That spot was excellent and kinda easy to remove the screen after all ☺️ Thanks bro 👊👊👊
Did you managed?
Thanks for the tutorial, the manual was lacking, it didn't mention moving the fiber optic cable from the factory harness to the new one.
A very educational video as always👑👏👏👏
Youre videos are so helpfully by part changes by my car👌🏻👌🏻💪🏻😁
Thanks bro appreciate it 🔥
Very useful, easy to install. The information was excellent! I will recommend it to my friends.
Thanks appreciate it 🔥
Great video - We install the same upgrades over here in the UK!
Amazing video, thank you. I’m new to this and with your video I want to give it a try. Which tools do I need to get the job done?

@@swaagadohnn not connected to anything.
Same here no need to use it! Don’t really understand why it coming with the kit.
Sir I’m worried about the reverse camera coz it might not work? Also I use Bluetooth so if I install this would it still work? Thanks
@@johnparkerzabala yes. Both should work just fine
Nice video and good luck to everyone!!
Is there a way to install usb cable on the front of the panel where those 4 buttons are at next to heated seats ?

Thank u for video . My car dnt have any plug for aux and any option in headunit menu !!! Is that problem?
Great vid bud! 😀
I’d love to win those lights for my w212 😊
Cool 😁 Great jobb from 🇧🇻
HI! It was really big how you installed this! Thank you for the show!!!!
My 2013 E350 Bluetec has a rear camera. Do I have to do anything with the yellow cable or just leave it.
Is this CarPlay only for the updated command system. I have the w212 e350 2011 but it’s just before they changed to the coloured cluster screen
Nice and straight forward!
Hi, how does it works with parking sensors and cameras? Does it enables its automatically by itself or you have to switch it on manually? Thanks
Parking sensor and camera works as normal. You could chose in the setting if you like it to switch to original camera display when you put in the reverse or you could have it on aftermarket camera for CarPlay decoder.

thank you so much still a great video.
Do you have a kit for a W204 (2009 Mercedes C350 with flip up screen / navigation?
Is there also a Product like this with which you can connect your android wireless?
I would like to know if this is possible for the W 204 I am from South Africa I don’t know where to get the package for Android
Does the android auto work wirelessly now? Or still has to be wired? I have a 2014 E class
Great video but the white captions are hard to read. Maybe try yellow or orange?
I got you, when edit them on laptop is easy to read but when checking on phone is quite hard to read them. Need to try another color 👍
