- In this video, I remove the oem command control scroll wheel on my 2016 Mercedes-Benz C300 and install an upgraded/updated command control unit that's 100% touch control touch pad with a lower profile. Same command control design founds in newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles. #dmpcardesign #Mercedes #w205

WOW wouldn’t think i t would look so good. What a difference! Stoked i watched the video and ran into your channel. Gonna do a few of these mods on my w205. Thanks!!
Looks really nice.
Thanks for your great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
awesome. it looks very easy. thank you.
Way to go! ‼️
Looks good!🤙
Thanks 👍
aside from the gauge cluster, car looks almost identical to my '21 E450, wild the mods you can do here
Thx 🙏🏻
Awesome mod Flexx, I wish this was available for the w222
Yeah. I’m not sure. You’d have to ask DMP.
🔥🔥🔥
Man I wish they had that for my 2010 S600
I need now the virtual cockpit
🔥
On the fence about getting this mod @BostonMechanics thru DMP. Not sure if swiping will be more distracting from the road compared to command rotary knob.
It took some time getting use to it for me but everyone is different, I guess. In my opinion, after getting use to it, it’s the same amount as effort as the oem scroll wheel. The major difference for me now is that this touchpad looks so good in the car and it’s profile is so low. But again, that’s just my experience. Some people might like the looks but hate or can’t adjust to the swipe controls. 🤷🏻♂️
Hey Flex, Does this new touchpad have the haptic feedback/vibration every time you swipe or click on it like the W213 facelifted ones have with the MBUX system or does it work more like the OEM touchpad+scroll knob configuration that the Pre-facelifted 2014-2018 W205 ones have?
I'm interested to fit this on my S205 however if the touchpad feels just like the OEM, I'd personally prefer the Scroll knob just so that I can scroll with the "feel" of my fingers than swipe.
As shown in the video, this is only touch. It’s just an aftermarket version for looks and for all touch.
As I mentioned in my response in another comment, if you want all the features like a brand new car’s control…you need to find an OEM command touchpad control, retrofit it to your car, and have it coded by a specialist so it can work on your car. Won’t be easy or cheap to do.
Coooool
how well does your display screen works? any qwerks/bugs independent of your new touchpad?
been working fine since the day I installed it years ago.
Could I get the part #s or list for the screen and light kit for the speakers and trim?
Each part is in their own install video on my Mercedes W205 Video playlist on my UA-cam channel.
Quick Question Flexx ?
Do you have a promo code for DMP ?
Gonna order mines today and wanted to check with you first on any discounts ?
Check out the video description, it’s all there. 😎
Looks great! What is the part number?
Don’t know. Look at the link in the description.
How do you change track on Spotify on your Android screen with the new touchpad? I have the Android screen and with the old touchpad I click "downwards" to change track. Wouldn't want to lose that function
You just Swipe or press same as before
Where did you get the ambient lighting
Go watch my ambient light install video. It’s in my Mercedes W205 video playlist on my UA-cam channel.
Did you perform an initial startup on that new touchpad after installing it?
not sure what you are asking? It works right off the bat like the OEM one. Every step of installing and making it work is in the video. It’s plug and play on my car.
Damn, Looks like an S class.
Since installing this has there been any problems in general if so what are issues that has been happening?
Not really. The only issue i have is that I keep reaching for the scroll wheel when it no longer exist. Lol. I’m still getting use to the touch pad being there. Haven’t driven my car enough since I’ve been traveling too much for work.
Is the whole steering wheel compatible with 2018 Cla250?
Don’t know. You need to ask DMP.
You don’t know if it’s possible to switch out the Cig lighter for a C port charger, the was they included it in newer models

I wonder if it has that handwriting feature. Not like anyone actually uses that, but still, would be cool to know, lol.
Not sure. Gonna give it a try.
@@TheFlexxGarageThanks! Can you also check if the pinch function works?
@@yiannig7347 Don’t think it does because all it’s doing is replacing the existing buttons/things those buttons do, hope he responds though and says differently”, I do wonder if it has haptic feedback though
No handwriting feature cause my car never had it to begin with. Also no haptic feedback or drawing. Cause again, my car never came with that. Like someone said above…it’s just a direct replacement that looks sleek and to get rid of the scroll wheel.
This is an aftermarket part. It’s not a Mercedes part. If you want all those extra features…you’ll need to retrofit a genuine Mercedes control unit (that has all those features) and find a specialist to code it to work with your car. No way you’ll be able to get that done at a low cost.
@@TheFlexxGarage it’s still awesome though, makes it look much better, and for the price it’s great
Is it possible to install a digital cluster to that car if so pls make a video thanks
Hes already mentioned before you can do it but its quite expensive
It is, but it costs a lot of money, you can’t install the digital dash cluster without the new MBUX head unit, if you’re in the uk the prices start from £3000 for a complete retrofit upgrade.
You can get an aftermarket android digital cluster, but the quality isn’t great, and imo makes the car look cheap.
Yea. But nobody makes a good plug and play one yet. I’ve already tested 2 different versions over a year time frame and both still are missing features from the oem gauge cluster and they are a lot of mistakes in spelling. I’m testing a new and improve 3rd version real soon.
@@TheFlexxGarage I appreciate the replies everyone, just 1 more question do these mods that you install only work for the sedan c classes or are they possible on the c class coupes too?
Sedan and coupe shares a lot of the same parts (not all but some). You’re best bet is to reach out to DMP. They can tell you facts.
Friend, first of all, please understand that I am speaking through a translator.
I have amg gt43 4door X290 (19my) dial type
I replaced Jack by Jack with a 20my touch type.
However, I am contacting you this way because only the home button and back button are recognized, but touch is not recognized.
Scrolling does not work.
Is there any need for command coding?
I'm very curious... I'm enjoying watching your videos from far away in another country.
thank you
I don’t really know.
1) check your wires and connectors again.
2) you will probably need coding to get things to work properly.
In my 2016 C450 I have the dial,not the pad. Can i still upgrade to what you have?
Maybe. You need to go check on DMPs website and see if your car is listed.
Hey.how do you "select" without the scroll wheel? Do you just tap the pad? I want to order mine just have that concern.
Yes. Tap
@TheFlexxGarage Thanks bro. I would be placing order soon
Can I drive to you to do my 2016 c300? 😊
I’m a UA-camr. I make videos. I’m not a mechanic and I don’t work on peoples’ cars. Sorry.
The shop “Boston Mechanics LLC” in Massachusetts does a good job with these types of installs but I don’t know where you’re from and how close Mass is to you.
Awesome and this looks amazing! I wish I could afford it for my wife's 2022 AMG C43. Maybe a giveaway? LOL. Appreciate the video!
You could save for a couple weeks and get it, especially if you can afford a 22 c43
You have a c43 and u can t afford that???
which model? Part number?
as mentioned in the video, look at the link the in video description. for more info on the product.
This also fits model W204 2014 ?
No
Dammit flexx u making me spend more money 😭😭🥲
