    I have seen a lot of walkthroughs. But this here must be the best edited, best lightened and still most detailed one. Thank you so much!

    Just did this install, it worked perfectly and exactly as shown here. My only note was in the part where they recommend you crack the plastic to fit the wires through -- I didn't find it that difficult on my vehicle to get them up there without having to do that, but YMMV.
    The biggest challenge for me was getting the head unit back in. The new harness/adapter kept getting in the way, and I had to get it lined up perfectly with a void below the head unit by getting my hand in there when the head was half-way in and pushing the new harness down, and THEN once it was perfectly in position, I could push the unit back in.
    Otherwise excellent, super easy install, no weird trouble or tech support needed. Thanks guys!

      My CarPlay is usually up and running BEFORE the screen finishes loading some times. It’s consistently about-as or faster than the OEM equipment is.

    Works great. Thank you for this product!
    The hardest part is putting the head unit back in. Perseverance.
    The W212 E class, I thought, always had an infotainment system that was 5 years behind even for 2015. Other than that, I love the W212. This product is a cheap way to bring the infotainment system to contemporary levels.
    Thank you.

    I've just finished doing this and the installation went very smoothly, helped by your excellent video.
    The only issue I had was with the sound. I'm using Mercedes BT for sound. My E350 already had Aux configured (probably from new) so I didn't need to change that. Changing MOST from internal to external amplifier actually stopped sound from working. I initially followed the instructions and sound didn't work. Once I switched back to internal amplifier, everything worked perfectly.
    The camera angles and lighting on this video really helped me when I installed my own and now I have Carplay working perfectly. The screen is a bit small but everything works well.
    Thank you.

      When calls comes, does it come through Apple CarPlay? How does Siri works?

    • @joshuarosen6242
      @joshuarosen6242 3 місяці тому

      @@santagautam115 Yes. When a call comes through it shows up on CarPlay just as you'd expect and you can answer or decline the call in CarPlay.
      Siri is astonishingly useless except for a very limited number of use cases and that is not CarPlay or this adapter's fault. However, it's no less useless than on an iPhone, so when I say (fairly loudly) "Siri, phone [insert my wife's name here]." it does do exactly what you'd expect.
      I have a BMW M4, which has CarPlay built in. That doesn't really do anything that I can't do with my W212 E350 and this adapter. Everything I use on a regular basis works equally well on both cars.
      For £140 and about 90 minutes installation end to end, I'd say that's good value. It's made the car feel five years younger.
