I have 2 degrees in Mech Eng (one in automotive) and did a similar install on a W204 and it took me literally 4 days to get it almost right. Tbh, it was simple plug and play, but with the added components, putting everything back the way it looked before was the real challenge.
Well put together thanks guys. Answers all my questions. I reckon i could DIY it, but since you're in Melb i'd actually prefer to just come to you. Cheers.
Thanks for the video. Just make sure what screen connection you ve got before purchasing the kit. I ve got the kit but my screen is connected with metal square connector instead of round plastic one supplied with the kit. So now I am looking for another headunit + screen + cable.
Questions: 1. Does the 2014 Mercedes Benz CL550 use NTG 4.5 or NTG 4.7? 2. Is the wireless version of this ACP unit identical to the wired version? 3. Do you have a video demonstrating the functionality of these ACP units with (while using) Mercedes factory controls?
hello my merces is w216 with natively command 3.0 and now i have android carplays . does your devoce is finctional with this configuration? Thanks for your reply DAVE
Can this use the original Mercedes OEM mic, and also does the 3.5mm aux input need to be run to the centre console of does is connect to the head unit directly?
Very interesting video. I mounted an iPad Pro on my C180 AMG, and I'm always afraid leaving the car unattended, because even if the glasses are darkened, its shape still stands out.
iPad's are pretty useless items to steal as they are locked to your Apple ID and no way for whoever steals it to use it. So they would basically sell it cheap for parts
Thanks for the video. So just to ask you will also need harnesses that suit a Merc and the NTG unit? What NTG would a 2014 A250 Sport need please? How much and source please? Thank you kindly.
This would be worth it if it didn't cost more then the touchscreen upgrade that comes with carplay and Android auto. I believe that screen is like $500 or $600 dollars, larger screen and tablet-like functionality. This should be more around the $200 dollar price range imo 😕
I’ve had both. The road play module and the tablet screen. I have the screen still installed now had it for a few years and to be honest it sucks. The road play module that uses the factory screen is way better in my opinion. I screwed up when I installed the screen. Don’t get me wrong the screen is cool and functions but the module was way better and worked better.
ive used one of those aftermarket screens before and they are so bad. they fail after a few months and often are very slow or buggy to respond. while this is expensive, its likely expensive because its an option that allows you to retain the stock interface, which is harder than just replacing with a whole new screen.
@@ahdnaji this might shock you but some people enjoy their MB themselves, they don't buy it to impress other people lmao! if someone enjoys their car more with a larger and better infotainment that doesn't mean they are trying to impress other people lol
Where did you mount the wire to connect to the phone? I prefer wired CarPlay but don’t know where to run the wire from device to phone. For reference, I have the Becker navi CarPlay box.
What Ntg version have my C180 kompressor 2009 and one question will it work if i have the shades of gray and orange display ? Does it have a colours then and merc just didnt using it ? or ?
Hi! I have a 2017 Mercedes vito with a GPS head unit without android auto, but if i buy a 2020 GPS head unit which is have android auto, and install the newer head unit to the older car will it work?

Hi mate I have the 10inch already installed on my c250 2012 I wanted to go back to the factory look plus I hate the 3.5mm jack for audio is this using the same method for audio? If so I will leave it cheers
Question.. can you still use 6 stack CD player while operating the module..? and can change discs through the new module OS itself?and also be able to adjusts EQ and stuff too

Can we use the stock microphone instead of wiring an additional one?
you make it look simple but I'm sure it is a lot more difficult then what you showed in the clip.I would have a Pro install it.
Dude that is bad ass. Nice video, easily explained, but I’d leave this one to the pros like yourself 🙌🏽

Nice job there, cand you confirm if the controls from the steering wheel are working with this module?
They don't buy the knob in the center console does. Negative on that unit is the sound quality
Does the backup camera still work as well?
Great video. Explain what you need to and no other bullcrap. Thanks for not making a useless 40 minute video 👍🏼
What about a 2006 S500? How difficult is the installation? What products, if any, would you suggest?
Well put together thanks guys. Answers all my questions. I reckon i could DIY it, but since you're in Melb i'd actually prefer to just come to you. Cheers.

Can you fit an apple CarPlay headunit in a 2005 C180 that has a factory headunit.
Does this box work also for a CLS (2014)?
Thanks for the video. Just make sure what screen connection you ve got before purchasing the kit. I ve got the kit but my screen is connected with metal square connector instead of round plastic one supplied with the kit. So now I am looking for another headunit + screen + cable.
What’s the microphone for? My car already has Bluetooth and the factory microphone. Does this microphone replace the factory OE microphone?
No. The new Microphone is just for „Siri“ and „okay Google“
Questions:
1. Does the 2014 Mercedes Benz CL550 use NTG 4.5 or NTG 4.7?
2. Is the wireless version of this ACP unit identical to the wired version?

hello my merces is w216 with natively command 3.0 and now i have android carplays . does your devoce is finctional with this configuration? Thanks for your reply DAVE
So when you get everything installed, could you go back and forth with the Apple CarPlay and the original factory version of the screen?
what if you want to go back to the original ui? do you simply hold back again?
Can this use the original Mercedes OEM mic, and also does the 3.5mm aux input need to be run to the centre console of does is connect to the head unit directly?
Doesn't the original factory microphone work with this installation? So not fitting the supplied microphone will result in no voice?
I would like to know this too
Hi..What would the NTG be for a 2015 E400?

Nothing beats keeping your MB as original as possible. A large screen in a 15 year old w204 isn't fooling anyone.

@bendan2505 where did I say impress other people? I just appreciate mine as close to factory as possible. My opinion, dude.
Can you listen to the stock radio while having google maps up. Will it use audio from both sources and provide directions over the radio?
The fact that the title says simple trick reads like a clickbait once you see all the labour it takes.
Where did you mount the wire to connect to the phone? I prefer wired CarPlay but don’t know where to run the wire from device to phone. For reference, I have the Becker navi CarPlay box.
