i have just order one and i used your discount code worked saved me £20, many thanks
You are welcome Allen 👍
This is perfect even if u don’t end up using it for video playback, wireless CarPlay is just much easier and less fussy
wireless CarPlay is so nice. Mercedes-Benz have finally started to included it in cars now. It worked great for me in the EQE and I think It's also in the new C class. Glad they have finally listened!
@@ABAUTOAMGso my E350 from 2022 doesn’t have wireless CarPlay?
This is absolutely brilliant mate! Thanks so much for this review!
Thanks Jonathan you are so welcome! :)
@ABAUTO love your channel Adam! Keep up the great work!
@@ABAUTOAMG Quick question is there any way of getting screens that could be installed in the back to connect to the digidash so that the movies or videos playing from the centre console can be viewed on the screens in the back of the car.
When you drive a Mercedes you only need your senses to enjoy driving
In a Mercedes Sprinter 😑
And your warranty booklet
@@WixyJixy do you loose your warranty when using it?
… and UA-cam… so you can watch Mercedes videos!
The only thing you didn’t really touch on was the CarPlay / Android Auto wireless functionality, and how to get to that. I’m assuming the car icon will take you to that designated screen?
Do you need to have Applecarplay/android to get I work? I have cla 2021 without appelcarplay installed
Nice review ….Planning on purchasing , do you know if they have fixed the aspect ratio to allow full screen in digidash 4.0?
Apple CarPlay is wireless now in 2022 and later Merz models.
Just used your code and still got the £20 off, can’t wait to get it soon.
u could have just used an old iPhone and jailbroken it mate, for a fraction of the price, could have added a data plan to it too lol
I have the exact same Vechile as you same year and model Isit possible that you can still charge you’re iphone while still using digidash at the same time without it interrupting anything ?
What to do with wireless apple car play ?
If you don't want to thether to you phone, can you put a data only sim, into the box
Do you download the actual app to the CAR or do i have to have that box plugged in all the time?
Hello quick question. It’s mentioned in the features that it has wireless apple carplay and android auto but you never showed them in this video? So my question is does either or these work work through digidash ?
This is what I was looking for.
Can you make a video of this using a SIM card setup through AT&T provider. I bought this and trying to use SIM card. Issue getting it to work. I see the network wifi, but it's not working .
Can you cast your phone or screen mirroring ?
Thanks
Sad moment is it goes not in full screen, displays almost square with black stripes sideways, otherways is cool product.
Why not full screen for mercedes ??
This video made me buy this device
can we use the iphone carplay in same time but wireless so while the digidash is connected ? like switching between my apple music on my phone and than netflix ? or should i unplug digidash and connect my iphone ?
can you use voice command for all the apps like youtube and all
I was just about to purchase this but have a question, I have that CarPlay port like yours on my car but I havnt got CarPlay activated in the car itself will this work?
Hi Nabeel, I haven't tested myself but I think you may need to have full CarPlay activated in order for it all to work I'm afraid :(
hmmm says not compatible with Mercedes EQE (I have the new EQE SUV). But it has the port this needs so whats the reason its not working?
Thanks, ordered today. Fingers crossed it works.
How it go?
is it only for android phones?
No this works with iPhone. The box runs it's own version of Android separate from your phone. You only have to connect your phone to share your internet connection so it works with iPhone and Android. I'm using an iPhone with mine 👍
Thx for the discount code just offered for my CLS 2021
Is this working to my Mercedes AMG GT 53 2019 ? Thank you
I just notice that the apple car play is not full screen… why :( this is so annoying to have such a small apple car play Im used from my ex bmw to have car play on full screen :/
Hello friend, I have the 2021 Mercedes S580 and I'm wondering will the digidash mirror your android phone? And if not, do you know a device that will mirror your android phone for my Mercedes??
Can I play my sky go app through this unit, I have seen it can be done but don't know how.
I would definitely buy this unit if I can
hello friend I have a mercedes glb 200d 2022 is it compatible with the product?
Does it allow you to wireless connect apple play from your phone instead of pluging in .
Yep you can run the CarPlay app through the digidash box then connect wirelessly and it works as normal CarPlay but wireless :)
Must i buy for this in Mercedes store Smartphone Intergration?
The Million Dollar Question…It Has A Defect, It Cannot Be Viewed...Full Screen🤧?? Only Over...4.43 Not Full
🦕see Movie 4K in... Format 4:43_Really_? is Jurassic-Parc🦖 The Company… *DIGI DASH, You have to Update Your Software to…FULL-SCREEN*
No full screen. This is a shame
The issue is that mercedes want you now to purchase andriod auto at 249 and the cost of this really isn't a great option
Do you have to have CarPlay previously installed ?
Yep. It will only work if the car already has working CarPlay. It runs off the CarPlay ports.
@@ABAUTOAMG thanks for your prompt reply, so there is no way to avoid paying shitload (300) to add carplay in an already expensive car (CLA 35)
Do you know if it works on the w213 2017, for Netfli movimento Why can't you see videos in full screen?
do u have a trick or tutorial how to setting the VIDEO works while car moving ?
Does this work for 2022 C300? I only have a usbc port
Cool but this is not using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and mirroring your apps. It’s just using your phone wifi or data. You still need to install or login to the apps which are separate on this device. Something to consider. Thanks for the vid.
Anyway this can work with the USC-C ports in the armrest? Then it wont take room from the center console / wireless phone charger
Unfortunately not in the CLA and A class. The one in the front is a special USB C port for car play.
Does the 45s not come with Wireless Apple CarPlay as standard from factory?
No :( I don’t think any Mercedes have wireless car play yet, only BMW seem to have it! No idea why as it’s such a better experience wireless.
A right angle usb c cable would be perfect for this. Also nice name.
Agreed x2! :)
can this be used for the gls63 to stream on the 2 rear screens for my children whilst I am driving etc?
Good question. It mimics CarPlay so in theory if CarPlay works on those screens it should but I’m not 100% sure.
Do you still need to have the Apple CarPlay feature on your Mercedes anyway? Or does this device bypass that and add it?
You need to have active CarPlay for this to work. When connected it uses CarPlay to load up so it won’t work without I’m afraid.
Why ain’t it full screen tho?
Scaling issues due to the screen’s aspect ratio.
I have the Apple car play plug in thing in the draw but do I need to activate Apple car play for this to work?
Hey, I’d activate car play just to check it all works ok before getting a digidash just in case. If CarPlay works with your phone you know the digidash will work too. 👍
Thanks mate great video
Btw discount code is still working
Just saved me 20£
Could do with one of these! Great review.
These do look good but i have a z fold phone so to save 270 quid ill just use my phone when stopped
Will it work with a 2022 Mercedes cla? this on has the newer mbux system.
How much does this cost?
Hi thank you and do you have a link to buy and some discount code.
Just google it. And use the code from this video description
Also allowed for people who lease their car?
Do you lose warranty?
Hi Kola, There's nothing to worry about If you lease or warranty. This little box is no different than when you plug your phone into the car. It simply uses the cars photo interface and the box runs independently. It doesn't have to install anything on your car etc. So no worry for warranty etc at all. Hope this all helps :)
Hi could you shed some light on this? When my digi dash boots on it automatically boots up android auto but turns wifi connection off when doing so. If I manually turn wifi back on and go back into android auto it turns wifi back off again. Can you not have wifi on when android auto is running? If so is there any way of changing it?
I just bought the new mercedes GLC 2023. Would this work on that vehicle as well?
Hey, Yep this should all work as long as the car has working Apple CarPlay and android auto. Is it the new GLC with the large tablet touch screen? I haven’t tested it on this yet but I’ve heard it works great on the big screen.
I wish it was full-screen on mbux and I'll buy it
will this work on the c300 2022 to play Netflix?
Hey, this will work but only If you have the factory CarPlay/android auto option. There’s an easy way to test If you have it just plug your phone into the port by the cupholders and If android auto/CarPlay pops up on the screen you have it and the digidash will work with your car.
Can you please someone tell me name of the box I cannot find it in eBay
Insane! Looking to buy it. Can you use it with your iPhone plugged into the Digidash to make sure you doesn't lose sound quality while listening a good music video (I have two Audison amp, 7 speakers Audison and one Audison subwoofer in my CLA35 2022) or the only option is with via Wifi connection?
Wo kann man das Gerät erwerben?
Thank you for your review , and thank you for the £20 off ,just ordered one
No problem you are welcome. Thanks for watching and enjoy! Happy holidays and new year!
@@ABAUTOAMG Thank you, to you too , also is it very distracting while you driving?
Looks great , can’t see the link
Absolutely necessary in the car. Fantastic device!!!
Hi just one thing, when I said to Digidash technical that the supplied cable snags my console cover on my Mercedes EQA can they suggest ware I can get a usb-c to usb-c cable.The email reply I got said there isn’t an after market usb-c to usb-c cable available.
But in your review you show one so I don’t understand. Ware did you get yours from.
main Question before buying this stuff: do i need to buy carplay first in the mercedes store to use the dash or does it works without any of that?
Hey Ersin, I think you will need to have CarPlay fully active for this to work. It uses the CarPlay ports and software to run Its own internal android operating system so I don't think it will run without it.
I had it set up, now its not reading the digidash for some reason
Hey, is CarPlay/android auto still working? Might need to unplug and plug in again. I find this with CarPlay in my cla45s sometimes and digidash works through it so could be doing the same.
I have a 2018 a class with mubx but the android auto is deactivate. Would this activate it?
Hey, unfortunately android auto is required for this box to work. It uses the cars existing android auto to connect up and enhance it.
How do you know if your car has apple car play option? Thanks
Where is the link to buy digidash?
Just google it
Great bit of kit, not sure the price tag justifies when it’s literally a Amazon fire stick really
Is this a lot easier/better than using the in built browser?
The in built browser is great but the problem is in the uk at least we have to sign up to a very expensive data plan through the car to use it. We can’t tether from our phones. That’s how it is if you have MBUX.
@@ABAUTOAMG ah ok, thank u for the reply. It looks good. I just got a mercedes with mbux, i think u can use your phone as a hotspot to browse, but this does look much more convenient to have all the apps at the press of a button. Can i ask, is it possible to mirror your phones screen to the cars screen with the digidash?
Quick question, I have a 2020 Merc, but the digital display isn’t touch screen. Will it still work?
Hey :) They sell a version that comes with a remote for non touch screen cars. Il be honest though I haven't tried it so I'm not sure if it works well.
Great vid. Does this still work 10 months later?
Thanks Derrick, all still working good here! :)
Hey, Thanks for your review, I have a full CarPlay activated on EQC from 2020 Touchscreen MBUX, is this device compatible? Tnx!
Hey! No problem the EQC is similar to my car here so it should work exactly the same 👍
OK, and they have the best customer service in replying to all your questions, they even assured me if my vehicle is not compatible I can return it for a full refund! I purchased it and can't wait for the delivery, Thank you!!!@@ABAUTOAMG
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH; EVERYTHING WORKS & WHAT A SERVICE!!! IN JUST 5 DAYS I RECEIVED MINE FROM THE UK TO GERMANY ...AND I CAN ONLY SAY WOOOOOOOOOOOW :-) This device is worth the money that the owner asks for... plug & play without any big installation@@ABAUTOAMG
I watch your video and I bought it..but my Mercedes can’t play only my ford can play..I send email to them also no response
Hey, sorry to hear that. I’m not part of the company I just reviewed it but I’m happy to try and help. What model and year of Mercedes do you have? Does your car have the Apple CarPlay optional extra from factory? It’s required for the digidash box to work.
I don’t know why but my 18 plate c250d premium plus doesn’t have car play & i don’t understand why
I'm guessing it was not included in the factory spec although you'd think it would if it's a premium plus. It might be worth checking to see If it's possible to add as a digital upgrade via Mercedes-Me although knowing Mercedes It might cost a bit of money.
Can you do this in a 2016 c300
Does this also work while you’re driving? I have a 2020 4x4 MB Sprinter Van (Winnebago Revel) RV that I’d like to get this for, mostly for my passenger to have some entertainment while on very long drives. It just has more functionality than just Apple CarPlay and I think I’d be a great add on to the rig. Great video! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Hey, Yep it all works while driving since It runs on its own operating system. Would work great for passenger entertainment. Just make sure your car has apple car play functionality, the box needs the car play port to work 👍
@@ABAUTOAMGdo u know what the legalities of this are in the uk? As far as it playing while driving etc?
Hey awesome video! Does it work in a EQS it comes with a wireless carplay feature.
Hey Milian, I haven’t tried it but have heard it works great on the new big portrait screens like the EQS.
Hello friend, I have a 2021 Mercedes S580 and I'm wondering will the digidash working my Mercedes??
Hey, Great car! Does the car have working apple car play/android auto if you plug your phone in?
Yes, I do have Android Auto in my 2021 Mercedes S580
Excellent, this should work then through the android auto port 👍
Thank you so much for your help!
Your are welcome :)
Does it had a sim card reader built-in
Yes
Hi there love your video very informative.
Do you have a discount code ?
Thank you! Sure thing! If you use code "ABAUTO" you should get £20 off.
Can it also go on a golf when i have an apple car play? Without a kabel o somthing
Hey, I focused just on Mercedes here but the digi dash is designed to work on lots of cars, I hear it works well on Audi’s so I suspect it will work great in the golf too.
Does this work with apple? I already have an Otto box that connects to my apple car play. However UA-cam and Netflix is not an option in the car. Do I need an android phone like yours?
Hey, I’m using an iPhone in this video. But its only to share the internet to the digidash. The digidash is a box that runs its own version of android (like having a second phone) When you connect it to carplay it runs directly of the box and carplay allows it to come up on the car screen.
@@ABAUTOAMG Thanks, is there an Apple CarPlay version that can also run UA-cam and Netflix?
@@profphilbell2075 You’d need to do this through a android box since carplay does not support Netflix and youtube sadly.
Defos buying this especially it coming from u it don’t seem fake lmao my s63 cabrio defo gone feel like a living room now 😂😂😂
Can u screen share so u see what’s on ur phone to the screen that’s icing on the cake for me
Can you go full screen or is the view size limited?
The size is limited unfortunately due to CarPlay in the car not being full screen. Wish we could use the full screen :(
I have a A clases w177 (2019),is necesario pay the Androidauto licencié on Mercedes store to play the Digidash or not?
Hey, Yes unfortunately you need working android auto/carplay to run the digidash.
@@ABAUTOAMG too expensive the Digidash, many in Amazon do the same and less price. Thanks.
How is CarPlay on this unit? Any lag using Waze for example? Thanks.
Hi, Android Auto does not work on 2018 eclass with ntg 5.5 audio 20 12.3" screen. The car has the phone icon USB in the centre consul. Any ideas to get it working. I asked the local dealer and he said Android Auto was not installed but didn't seem too interested. I have checked the connection menu on the screen and it does not show android auto. And I checked mercedes aps and nothing their either. My phone has c connection. The reason I want android auto is that the map is outdated and the dealer said a new card is about 400.
It's a shame that it's not taking advantage to the full screen of the infotainment display. I hope Mercedes releases an update or something that makes Apple CarPlay support the resolution.
im sure that can be coded in somehow if someone takes the time to figure it out like bmw's cuz its the same on bmw's infotainment it crops out the sides until u get it coded in to go completely full screen
It’s strange because I’ve defo seen some MBUX’s with full screen CarPlay. When I asked at my local MB garage. The tech guys didn’t know what I was going on about.
@@kbusy6713 Weird, that's annoying. I hope ill come across some research or something about this.
Have you tried resetting the screen resolution for playback .
Does it work on a 2014
Will it work on a Cla 45 2017?
How do you usually get in conctact with DigiDash, the charged my card for the order but never processed it.. so I never even got a confirmation. It just showed transaction on my credit card with the order actually going through...
Ah that’s sounds like a painful glitch! I’m sure they will help you out with this try writing them an email explaining. The contact info should be on the website.
Hi, will it work with GLA 220 D 2021 model?
Hey! Yep it should work exactly the same as my CLA as long as you have android/CarPlay option on your car. That’s the only requirement so make sure to check first :)
Are the speakers and audio gear enough as-is or would you upgrade anything?
I’ve got the Burmester sound system which is enough for me to be honest but I’m not a huge audio guy :) I am working on a review of the burmester at the moment too!
Does this work with iPhone, or only Android? I have a 2021 GLC 300 4Matic. Is there a link for buying in the US ????
Hey Greg, this will work with an android or a iPhone as long as your car has the CarPlay option. You only use your phone to share your data with the box, the box runs on its own version of android which is why all the apps work :) On the digidash website it says worldwide delivery so I think you can order to the US straight from the website. Hope this all helps.
it´s work with te Hyperscreen frorm MB EQS?
Great question! It should display on the hyper screen the same way regular car play would. I hear it works well on the newer big screens like the new c class etc
I got CLS 350 2019 do you have anything for it?
Hey, I think this would work as long as the car has the CarPlay/android auto functions working.
Anyway to watch UA-cam with out a Hotspot
