- Hey everyone!
In this episode, we'll be installing Apple CarPlay into your Mercedes-Benz!
In this one, we'll be doing it to a 2009 C-Class w204 Pre-Facelifted model.
This will be the same process for any C-Class from 2008-2010.
C63 AMG, C350, C300, C250, and so on...
To install Apple CarPlay, we'll be swapping out the old unit, to an updated Touch Screen that runs on Android software so that you'll be able to use android apps.
When you connect your iPhone via Bluetooth to the installed unit, you'll have Apple CarPlay wirelessly!
Please be sure to watch the entire video before attempting to install this yourself.
I definitely recommend getting professional help to install this if you're not comfortable working on your own car.
You can get the Touch Screen at ClubLuco.com

Tools you'll need:
Torx T20 Screwdriver: amzn.to/3n813P6
Auto Trim Removal kit: amzn.to/2XtbUKG
How to remove the Glove Box:

U've just succeeded in convincing me not to try this at home. I thank you.
Yep! 😂
Lol
You were reading my mind 😂
SAME !
Clear as mud!!!
Just want to thank you bro. You helped me a lot! Thxx from Germany!
Awesome video! Will definitely do this soon. How's the unit doing? No issues whatever? Thanks again guys, great job!
me puedes pasar el link donde has comprado la radio o pantalla?. muchas gracias. buen video, interesante.
Good work, I have one question about the wire from the hed unit to the TV, how should we contact?
Hello 👋, thanks for tour video…. Just question, you have rear camera?
Will this screen accept an aftermarket backup camera?
Where did you get the box that connects the display port to the new system?
Hi, did you connect the aux cable for sound?
Do you know where I can find the back plate that you screw the radio in mine broke?
The clubluco link in the description doesn't work - do you know where else we can purchase the touch screen?
hey, i just bought a mercedes clc 200 w203. could i use the same carplay that you used in your car for mine. if not what carplay should i get. fyi i have no idea on cars or no idea where to look for carplay stuff
We had this installed on our 2008 c class, everything works fine except during phone calls over CarPlay there is huge background noise compared to the MB Bluetooth. My understanding is the device uses the cars native mic. Any way to solve this issue?
@RichC I also installed this android radio on my mercedes.However, I have the problem that after the installation the car's battery died ....I guess there is an issue with the v
cables....there is one for permanent current and another for ignition ...red and yellow cables..
Did you have any trouble with that?Does anybody know how to solve the problem?
It’s the NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED PLAYLIST for me!!🎉
For phone call you can answer calls form whell drive? And mic of car works or not ?
How much do you guys charge for these installation services?
how the brightness? my issue is that i want something vivid under the sunlight. i saw they have, QLED, anti-glare, anti 7 glare, antti blue glare. and IPS..
does the installed display blocks the line of sight to the proximity sensor
I’ve just seen this video and like the fact it still displays radio and disc information, or at least it looks like it does, can you confirm that? Also your link doesn’t seem to work for the display
I really wanna buy this this. Am using the same. Car. My question is about the back plate? Those the back plate comes the shipment?
The link isn’t working is there another link where I can get the screen?
You have a link from the Touchscreen? I cant find... thx
Can I buy any car play screen or does it have to be this specific one.
Hi Rich, i just bought a 09 c350 with one of these screens installed but i cant seem to get the Carplay to work. When i click the carplay button is says "Please insert the product" Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Hey I followed your installation down to the key , but my head unit won’t turn on. Can you please help ?
Would it still work even if my radio/stereo system doesn’t work
Hola. Tengo un w204 modelo 2011. Sirve para ese modelo??

I want to buy this kit, but I’m afraid it will not work. I have a 2008 Mercedes Benz C350, seems to be the same set up. I want to upgrade my screen just as you did for your brothers car
Hey man immune turns on it works I just can’t connect my phone on the Bluetooth for some reason, great tutorial btw!! plz lmk if Yk why I can’t connect my phone
id love to see you do a steering wheel upgrade, the 08-10 steering wheels are so ugly compared to the rest of the w204 wheels
What is the box called that goes into the display
Will this radio work with the Apple iPhone or is it android only.
Hey the link isn’t working, would you mind telling me the name of the unit? I’m looking to get my dad one

RC I can’t find the website to purchase this head unit, can you help?
Nice video
Lead that you have to purchase system is not popping up to have a different. link for it. Would highly appreciate it
Yo will this work on a 05 240kompressor
Hi dear can anyone tell me from where can i buy this andriod for my mercedes c klasse w204
Where can I get this kit? Your product link is not working
hows it holding up after 2 years of use
?
Nice video and good explication!
I have juste one big problem
I have no sound
Thats maybe before the work i used the AUX
and when i tryed to use the new screen i couldnt go on radio and can not read music on bluetooth
All seems work but no sound (maybe due to the orange cable on the start)
Can you help me ?
Did you end up figuring it out? I just installed it and have the same issue. Any help would be appreciated
Bro had to flex everything else he had on his Bluetooth list while he was at it.
Hey, guys? How is the product holding up? Is quality withstanding the test of time.
Would you buy another one?
Did you loose quality of ur speakers using this
I did I was told it’s because it’s using the aux to play the music via Bluetooth
I’ve been looking at doing this to my car for a while. The only problem I have is with my auxiliary port. Everything I use with the aux is really low output compared to the cd and radio and memory card on the head unit. When you use the CD player after you’ve installed the new screen does everything play through the auxiliary or does everything else still play through the head unit.
I have the same problem with my aux output sound being super low even when max volume on my phone then the radio is 100x louder, I’m still trying to search for a fix online
@@canabish9333 the only thing I’ve found is a FM transmitter there really cheap and when connected to my phone or anything Bluetooth its the same volume as everything else. All these screen look better and have more up to date options but they all work through the aux input.
I just got my ‘09 c300 today 👌
Me too man!
Were can i but this ??
what is the page to buy the
Where i can buy that?
Hello, I have saved this video a few months ago for reference when I install my own unit which happened today. Helped me a lot by the way. I only have one issue. I can’t push my radio unit back because of the wire’s especially that big square block that is in the way. Any suggestions to get my radio unit back in place. Thank you very much.
Glad this video can be of some help! It was difficult for me to jam it in there too but you just have to keep moving the large black wire until everything fits unfortunately. Hope this helps!
I guess that’s why they took the glove box out, so that they could put the box and the excess USB wires their.
Same issue I'm currently having, there's barely even any space in there to fit these extra cables... Do you guys have any tips?
@@ivanchin3667 I’m having the same issue right now… how did you solve it?
@@Lucas-dz4ye I had to keep fiddling with the wires and jamming it in until it all fitted. I also unplugged a few harnesses, pushed them as far as possible into the tight crevices, and then reconnected. All I can say is that you just gotta keep trying until it fits, but don’t force it cuz you might end up damaging some wires.
Ironically the head unit only took like 30 mins to install, but 2-3 hours trying to put that damn stock radio back in… what a poor design lol.
Hi there.
Please can you help.
Tried installing this today. But have two problems.
1) icons on screen keep flickering constantly.
2) I’m seeing overlapping screens.
Seeing the new main screen. But in the background faintly is the old original screen.
Do you have any ideas ?
I had flickering issue with my xtrons screen but tried 3 different mcu upgrades and last one fixed that flickering. Fuck it was annoying as shit.
The link isn’t working, but I’m interested
I can’t find the link won’t connect no more
Hi, I have a question, I have this screen for a year, but I have not connected these two orange cables, maybe you know what they are for, because I have a problem with gps when I connect this small box, sometimes my gps signal disappears, and so I thought maybe these orange cables what you translated are responsible for it, if you know something, give me an answer. Regards Adam from Poland.
Damn, might just get this instead of buying a whole new car lol
it's the best option and a great way to make your car feel new again
How much
great video thank you. didnt get from where you bought the unit and how much you paid for it ,, thanks.
No problem brotha and the link is in the description!
U can save buy them on aliexpress
Thrash link
@@dreknows thanks for pointing out the link I fixed it!
Could this work on the g wagon like the g wagon on ur channel
Yes it should depending on the year. The issue is the mount. I’m looking into getting the proper mounts and hopefully do an update video soon
I need that
WHATS UP BRO GREAT VIDEO. I HAVE A QUESTION. THIS SYSTEM ISNT GOING TO DRAIN MY BATTERY?
What if I click the NTG and nothing happens ?
Are you able to skip songs from the steering wheel or the knob ?
Yea I’m curious to know aswell tbh. It’s quite important to me to have that but in my older system, it doesn’t have it so I’ve just ordered one of these.
images.app.goo.gl/V4dtCMRHtjZ56qkm7
Hopefully works well !! It’s cheap and works with your phone through Bluetooth.
AUX highest volume level is way to low compared to the CD or radio volume levels. Any way to fix that?
Try another phone guaranteed it’ll be louder
Are you using iPhone? If so, go to Settings > Sound & Haptic > Headphone Safety and turn off "Reduce Loud Sound".
Quick question my man. If i split screen spotify with waze, does the wheel knob work on changing the song? Or will it switch from app to app and it will eventually work if you primarily have spotify selected on the screen when turning the knob? Or it doesn’t work antything like that?
Other videos show that the two arrows, left and right besides volume button, doesnt work on spotify so im confused now.
Appreciate it, thanks👍
No problem man and glad to help! I’ll post a follow up video soon showing its functions in more depth but basically the wheel near your arm rest would let you go through the different icons displayed on the screen
The wheel knob wont change the song unless you cycle to the skip button section and click on the knob.
Hope i helped u too
@@sebastianmaxim1064 definitely dude! I’ll make a video though just to go over everything. Thanks!
What car did you end up getting to replace the Maserati???
Nothing yet because the market is crazy right now but something is coming soon!
Hi. I have the same car and I got the same screen, so I installed it and I can’t connect the radio into the android screen. It show no signal.
I saw your video and I did all your steps and still says no signal.
Thank you!
Hey Tomas! Did you purchase from the guys at clubluco? So there's no FM or AM radio at all? Would you be able to check on the wires and see if you connected everything? Even if one step gets missed, it could throw off that error
I got it from ugode-media 8 from China.
So I connected everything right like the diagram show, no I can’t get FM or AM, I can turn on the OEM radio, but it won’t show on the android screen, it’s just show no signal.
I even removed everything back to doble check and for me everything is connected right.
Would the process still work even if it was a 2011 c300?
it should, it’s still a W204
No one actually shows how the radio cable should be routed.... I keep having a 3/8 gap around the radio face
Can you get Netflix on it?
Hey quick question: Do the steering wheel controls or the wheel knob in the middle work with apple carplay?
yup it sure does!
@@RichardCuicoу меня не все функции шайбы работают.🫣
How did you get the screen to mount ?
When you buy this screen it comes with the mount, fits where your old one goes and sticks out so it looks great
It looks a bit too big for the car, a smaller one should look more natural for the w204
Hey would this work on a ‘11 C300?
Not this one since the mount is wrong. The guys at clubluco where i got this unit from will have the 2011-2013 c class version soon
@@RichardCuico Appreciate the reply!
Do mine please
Bro i used to watch u like 4 years ago whats up
hahaha im still around but my work got me too busy
@@RichardCuico i feel u
Hi bro, pls any details of connecting with a professional to do this, I’m not good working on cars, I would love this on my Mercedes c300 2010
You doesnt have to do this at all. You just put an android phone(tablet) holder over the existing radio display cap.The job is done. You doesnt have to do this because u can make some ither dammahes on electronics!
very low ram and slowy cpu. nothing for me
Doesn’t fit the original design of the car at all.
Bro u talked about every step then didn't show lol and you could use snake fish wire through but all good
Very expensive
They don’t make those screens a lil cheaper 😩geeeeeez!
ya they're pretty pricing but you can get the slightly cheaper version that still has apple car play
Damn awesome
Hi,this is Jem from binize car stereo,we are interested in your video of car stereo, plz tell us how to contact you~
Would this work for a c class 300 too?
Remove the 2 rubber stoppers and use a thin hook tool to remove the air vents much easier and less chance of damage
Hey man immune turns on it works I just can’t connect my phone on the Bluetooth for some reason, great tutorial btw!! plz lmk if Yk why I can’t connect my phone
