Activate Android Auto/Car Play on 2016 Mercedes-Benz A Class

- Here's how I was able to activate Android Auto on my 2016 Mercedes-Benz A 220d (w176). The same instructions can also be used to activate Apple Car Play.
When I first got the vehicle, I was quite disappointed that it didn't come with Android Auto, and I had planned to update the head unit to one of those 10" Android displays. Luckily I stumbled upon some additional settings that I hadn't seen before while trying to figure out something else, and to my delight, Android Auto could actually be activated and works great!
I came here specifically to say a massive THANK YOU! I couldn't get Android Auto to work and spent days researching with no luck until I found your video. I've just followed your steps and I've now got Android Auto!!
This worked first time. Mercedes main dealer couldn't get the Android auto working but this did. Really really grateful,
Great to hear! 👍
wow that's crazy
Yes!! Worked perfectly for my 2017 SLC300, fully enabled the Android Auto, took 30 seconds. This is the only video which explains the actual mechanism for enabling these features when they are absent from the top-level menus. Went to two Mercedes service depts, they were clueless.
Hi bro how to contact my android to my a class mercedes a180 2014 w176 petrol engine sport can I?
The only videos that actually address the problem!! Many thanks to you, sir!
Perfectly explained video! Took me 2 seconds to get the aa play on there thanks man!
You're a legend. I've been going out of my mind for my 2015 A class. THANK YOU
Did work for 2015 version?
it's works? i have a a180 2015
@@xtianconcha not for mine. I have that option but apparently doesn't save in the menu.
@@ifteneionutgeorge1910 i have another type of menu. i can´t find the option.
I have the options but it doesnt seem to save them
Same for me
Same for me does anyone have a solution ?
Any solution for not saving??
We are fucked Guys
Same 😩
I succeeded to do the AMG logo, but the apple car play went back to off. Do i need the Command NTG5S1 ?
if the changes are not saved what do I need to do??
I have the AMG logo change saved, but not the telephone options... could you help?
Same here, did you already found a solution?
Same, did anyone figure it out
Same problem here
Have u fount a solution for it yet?
@@JoniCkn nope, the car is gone by now and no solution or whatsoever
Any clue why it keeps turning off for me? I saved the settings (AMG logo to confirm this), but when I go back to the settings page the UI is turned off again (Also for Apple Carplay) I tried it multiple times and it keeps going back to 'off'.
The AMG logo stay which i'm really happy with!
I'm having the same issue.
Did you figured it out meanwhile?
Also, which model do you have? I have CLA 180
Same, GLA 250 2016
same problem， 2016cla220d, have you solved this?
Same, B 200d 2016
Same. CLA 200 2017
Great thanks, remember to restore factory settings to be able to firstly access the engineering menu as mine didn't play game at first
A mi no me permite entrar a ese menú. Entonces tengo que reiniciarlo de fabrica? Y si es así como se hace eso? No daña el estereo que me pida NIP?
How que can restore factory settings?
What kind of setting I am going to lose if I restore the default settings?
Hi, as seen with a few others mine keeps resetting to no on the apple carplay selection. I’ve changed the load icon to AMG, you mentioned maybe a software update, can this be done from the engineering menu also? I noticed there was a section for that but was too scared to click it haha. Thanks
Same problem! Very curious for the answer.
@@KingOfQuizzes yess me too
Same here GLA 200 2018 EU Edition
Hii me 2 i really hope i can get a reply so i can fix it
Hi me too! My Clase A200 w176 2018 reset to No again. Logo change right to AMG but carplay reset to No option.
Works a treat! Only had Apple ticked on my GLA 2016.
Hi, was there ever a fix to why Apple car play was revert back to off? I’m able to change the logo, but can’t seem to get Apple car play.
Hey. I have the very Same Problem. Did you already find a solution for it. If yes please Tell me how to do it.
If I find a way to fix that issue I am going to contact you also.
Thank you very much👍👍
I have the same issue, I was looking for why, and i recently found that perhaps we have to reset to factory befor doong this, im going to try, because the only thing that was able to do was to change logo but the Apple car play and android auto did not appear. I have a B200 2018 in Argentina. If i mange to change it i will answer here!!!
Did it worked with you?
I have the same problem
Me too….does anyone know how to fix it please? TIA 🙏
I have the same problem, you already know something ? w246 2016
Hey, do you have any idea why after pressing set page, changing a page, its automatically changing CarPlay via USB on OFF and same for automotive link ? Works fine just with logo. Same when iam trying save a changes ( holding on/off button )
did you resolve this after?
I have the Same issue
You need a OBD2 activation tool, after that it will be activated. I had the same problem.
@xSinergy_ not any obd, its must be extra an activation tool, it activates android car or apple car play in the system
@@immerwiederstd8278link?
Do you have any advice on enabling android auto/Apple car play on a 2019 GLC300, without buying an expensive module?
Works like a gem. I have a GLA250 2016. Thanks a lot for this video!
Do you know if this works on GLA 200 2016?
Hey, can you please help me. I can get the amg logo but I can’t seem to get CarPlay and I have the exact same model as your vehicle. Thanks
@@felixirancunguye1545 same goes to me buddy! 😣
Thanks for the video!
This worked perfectly in my 2016 200d AMG Line Premium.
FOR EVERYONE WHO CANT ACCESS ENGINEERING MODE!!
you have to reset your system and then you can access it
please pin this so everyone will see it
How do I reset it?
If this works…. You are a lifesaver…. I will update
Does not work 🎉
Worked fine for me.@@coleguest6476
Wow that's brilliant 😮 It worked on my Merc A180D 2017. I don't know how to thank you for sharing this video.
That unlocks a lot of features 🎉
Thanks a lot!!
Good one bro can I contact my android phone to a class mercedes a180 2014 w176 petrol engine sport??
Does this enable apple carplay also?
@@wictorwillseus671yep
Superb! I had to reset back to factory to get into the engineering menu, but I'm all set up now. Thank you.
Hi, i can't enter to Engineering mode, how to factory reset device?
@Goran Garcevic I think its in system, you reset the head unit back to factory
@@smerds Thanks, i figured out how to reset, enter to engineering mode, but after change of option and reboot of device setting are reverted to off
Sorry, it worked for me after resetting the head unit to factory settings, apart from trying again I've no idea.
Am having no luck accessing the engineering menu, what shall I do?
Hello, I have an amg a45 from the end of 2016 and I have done all the steps and I don't get the CarPlay. Any solution? Thank you.
Did you find something??
Thanks for the video.
I tried it but it didn't work on an a45 amg 2016 I wend back to the settings and the settings went back to off after restarting not sure. What the issue is
Same did you get this working?
Hi, did you get it working?
Hello, I succesfully go into engineering mode, i do everything the tutorial suggests but i can't seem to activate android auto. The only difference between my car and the tutorial one is that in the variant coding page 2, on the remote ui applications section, the remote ui services, carplay via usb and automotive link via usb are all off by default. Once i turn them all on and i restart the car the modifications i did do not apply, apart from the ci screen type. Do you have any suggestions?
Edit: my car is a mercedes a160 from 2017 if it can help identify the problem
Same here, then when you go back in it is reset to off but ci screen is still changed.
Same here! It doesn’t work
The same with me
Pause the video at 1.56 and make sure the code numbers on the android auto/drive levels match his. You use the car keypad to change them.
Help needed, followed all steps, changed logo etc etc however.. Once I hold the on button for 10 seconds the systems reboots fine.. then new logo comes up and no car play or android auto :( every time I set the coding page and do all the exact steps but the UI settings go back to default every time :( please help :(
I have the same problem
Same here
Mercedes CLA 200d 2016
It Works 😁
Just done my W246 2017 B Class b220d AMG, thanks very much for posting, great help.
how about a gla 45 2016 in korea???
don't working 1 + # + end of call ... OTL
Amazing upgrade - We also do the same upgrade over here in the UK!
Pause the video at 1.56. at the bottom of the infotainment screen where it says android auto drive levels, make sure you match those numbers or this won't work. You can do it by highlighting the boxes and enter the numbers with the car keypad then set page and you're good to go.
One of the best video. Saved me lot of money as I was going for aftermarket screens.
Thank you I was also very disappointed but following your video was easy to solve the problem thanks again.
You wouldn't happen to know if you can do something similar with
Lane keeping assist
And/or
Traffic Sign Assist?
Thank you for the information, my logo changes but nothing happens in the Tel menu. 2016 cla
Zech, thank you for your video. I tried this on my 2017 GLS 450, but I cannot get into engineering mode for some reason. It also did not come with Android Auto. Any ideas?
Thank you very much!!! Worked for me. The only thing that I cannot do is use the phone. There is a crossedout 🎤 microphone. So I cannot talk by phone. The rest is perfect
I managed to get onto the engineering menu and I changed the loading screen which proves it saved that setting however it does not save my settings regarding the remote UI applications. On my screen it has it set that the RUI settings are off for remote UI. I have tried to mirror your selections on this video but when I go to set the page it doesn't save my changes. Any ideas????
Oof.. that's rough. I've seen a few other commenters with the same problem. Unfortunately I really don't know why it's not working for some. Maybe in need of a software update first?
@@zeanders How can you update it?
I have the same problem!!! I Tried and the Android Auto does not appear, Im gonna try with apple carplay with my wife's Phone
any update on this issue, have the same problem....
can it be that apple and android auto is unavailable? so it doesnt save the changed settings.....
The same issue
I have been able to go into the engineer menu only after doing a factory reset on the vehicle menu. Unfortunately, variant coding menu is the only one greyed and I could not go further in my attempts to switch Android Auto. My car is a B250ed (electric drive W242 similar to W246 for most parts of the dashboard).
Hi Zech, great video! We have a GLE400 from 2016, but unfortunately, this trick doesn't work. Another video suggested a factory reset via the steering wheel, but this didn't work either. How can I get Android Auto to work on this car? Thanks!
What an absolute legend!
the engineering menu doesn't come up for me. A200. 2016 UK. any help?
Hang up, 1, 3 and # symbol is the engineering menu on my 16’
This was helpful…. I watched so many episodes and they call seemed to do everything else but address the problem
Thks for that video sir !QUestion, i have a mercedes Snesation b180 2018, is it work the same ?
Hey Zech Andersen i followed your steps but it didnt work it goes also back to the off settings can you maybe help me?
Same problem, logo AMG is working (saved) but carplay and android after set and save is again off any ideas?
Same here
@@edrjen same problem

My friend has the same problem, only phone calls do not work. did you solve the problem?
Hey! I have 2017 W176, this combination dose not work with engineering mode. Any other combinations to pop up this menü ? Thanks!
Same issue with my early 2016 W176… the combination didn’t work… any clue?
Hey!@@zockborges Could you manage this problem? how can activate Android auto ?
@@matyasnemcsik8422restart to factory settings
Hi
AMG logo worked but no android or apple carplay. Whenever I go back into the engineering menu the apple play android and UI revert back to off?
I am resetting the system correctly after making changes. Any suggestions?
Same, do you already have a solution?
@@lennon6713nope not working init
Same for me too
I think we have to factory reset before doing this procedure. Im gonna try and then post my results.
I’ve bought an OBD Activation tool and now it works perfectly fine, without doing anything in the settings it just came instantly after plugging the OBD in.
Excellent video with understandable english comments pronunciation (good for foreign people) 😀
Is this for Audio 20 or the COMAND system?
Thanks in advance
Hi, i have a CLA 180d 2017 , i tried that and does nt do nothing, any reason?
I have exactly the same model and the same issue. Did you figure it out?
Does this work also without the adaptor below the steering wheel? Or only for 2016 onwards models?
I don't even get the menu pressing those buttons on my A200d 2016 😔
Reset to factory settings
@YourAverageAvgeek0 thanks, that fixed it for me, wasn't getting to the engineering menu
@@pedropt10 What kind of data should I expect to lose if I restore the default settings? Many thx in advance if you mind to spend the time answering my question
I needed to hold down end call, 1, 3 and hash. You also need to make sure that the codes at the very bottom of the page match the ones on the video , you use the telephone pad to change the digits. Pause the video at 1.56 to see the codes.
GOOD NIGHT
I have a 2015 B220, and I have followed Tulla's instructions and it only saves the changes in AMG,
It doesn't save the CarPlay ones for me.
Can you help me, thank you.
All the best

Hi, i cannot enter the engineering menu on my A Class from 2016. The 3 buttons combinaison does nothing. Any idea ?
Hi, I have the following issue. I have a Mercedes class 200 from 2016 WDD176. On my screen I see the two options: AndroidAuto and Carplay, but only CarPlay works for me.
Legend. This was so helpful
Worked like a treat!! Thank you so much. Just wondering if you've used Car stream at all to watch UA-cam etc? I'm finding scrolling bit very difficult
I have a iPhone. What app should I use?
is it working with all A class ? or only models top of the line? got a 2018 one.
Hi, what if I don’t want the AMG logo to turn up when starting engine. Can I leave the standard logo on instead?
All I say is Thank you
Was a Great Help 🙏
What app do I get for iPhone cheers
My setting is already active in the car settings, I have made sure CarPlay is not restricted on my iPhone and it still won’t connect in the second media port it just charges my phone… I’m think maybe the USB is at fault.
Hi, hope you're well !
I have a GLA 2016 AMG LINE, and it works well with Aplle Car Play, but i tried to activated Android, but did not work...
I know that i SAVE the settings, because now i see AMG on the first screen.
I short, i put the settings to ON, i save, but when i will see again it stay OFF.
Any hints ?
Hi! Do you know if this works on GLA 200 2016? Thanks
Ive followed this but the amg logo change shows yet the car play option keeps resetting? How do I get past this?
did you find any solution for this ?
I done this on my car, the amg logo saved but the car play doesn’t seam to be saving, any ideas ? Thank you
i am having the same problem. Did you find any solution?
Hmm the logo worked however no android auto on car 2016 merc a class w176, plus it won't go back into that menu section, any ideas please
You need a OBD2 activation tool, after that it should be activated.
Hi I have a mercedes c class 220d 67 plate, but I don't think it has the USB socket with the square sign next to it
If can be done on this model….. can be done let’s say… a 2018 GLC? I will really appreciate if you can help!🙏🏻
I tried this on my 2016 W176 AMG Line premium, the start up screen changes to type 1 which shows it works but the apple car play etc setting is turned off when you go back to the menu? Am I doing something wrong?
That is very odd. Let me get back to you on that. Currently away for a few weeks though. If I recall correctly, I think there were some related settings on page 3.
@@zeanders appreciate it!
@@zeanders I have got same problem , please if you can help
I m facing the same issue, can you please check and get back to us ?
Same problem. Seems like almost everyone got this problem. We can't get the option to save.
I follow all the instructions, it changed the symbol, but all the other settimgs were not :( Doesnt show android car player, anyone know why? Everytime i return to the menu, what i changed was as before i changed it....:(

Changed amg logo but it keep getting off itself
Why it doesn’t work on my 2016 cla250
Hey thank you. Will this work on a 2017 g wagon?
How do you scroll through the menu? using the jogweel?
Weist du warum die Einstellungen von CarPlay nicht gespeichert werden?
Do I need to connect a cable to my phone before the CarPlay option becomes available in the tel screen?
I have installed android auto and Apple car play with obd but Android auto don't work while Apple car play works. Any suggestions?
Also working on the a class 2015?
Didn't work for me. Logo worked but the android auto and car play sadly wouldn't. Any recommendations?
Just curious: did you also enable the "Remote UI Services" option, which is next to the CarPlay/Automotive Link options? I should have called that one out in the video.
@@zeanders Hello, yes I did do that option as well.
Factory reset and worked for me. Thnx
What car model do you have? How did you factory reset?
Do you remember what error you got before restarting?
will this work to get android autoplay for a mercedes c300 2018
For me it saves the amg logo, but carplay doesnt show up in the telephone menu
Huge shoot out... thanks so much
Well that is frustrating. I wonder if my 2019 GLA 250 will do the same and not allow it.
🙏 worked for my A200. Bless

same here. I have a 2016 a160 and did exactly what was told on the video. All i got was the amg logo smh dis you find any solution?
Dont know if it helps...i had the same thing...but was looking for AA in the wrong place....plugged phone in via USB.....chose Tel...then pressed up on dial to choose Tel again.....moved dial around and bingo...it was there. @lurkingmaniac7526
Thankyou for this amazing video it works fine now with android auto
Hello :) im going to buy an A180 (2016), it would be great if i could use Android Auto. Do I need the integrationskit? Or are thoose options as u showed in it to?
I would expect it to be there, but it could depend on the manufacture date. I would check it out during the test drive. If Android Auto isn't already there, then see if you can activate it in the Engineering Menu.
