  • 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

    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.

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  14 днів тому +1

      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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • @resiilmoittaa1600
    @resiilmoittaa1600 2 місяці тому

    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.

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  2 місяці тому

      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.

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  2 місяці тому +1

      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.

      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.

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  2 місяці тому +1

      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.

    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.
