What an absolute fantastic & well explained UA-cam video! Well done gentlemen! It clearly shows that you work hard & know exactly how to spend your well earned cashola, very nice Mercs in that driveway 😁
Take my money.
Jokes apart, great video mate thanks, it's really gonna help !
awesome and detailed video
Great video, thank you for the detailed explanation, cheers.
Very nice job.
Really great video! Follow each step and all the installation goes flawlessly. Can you help with the sync between video and music? Tried some videos and the video has almost 2 seconds delay from the sound….. really need help here….
Great video. Ty👍
Hi great video mate. Could I just asked if you wanted to use the screens GPS would you have to use a SIM card and access the data in the screen without using a phone algorithm CarPlay?
Very nice, I want to buy the product. I read all the comments here. Everyone mentioned that there was a delay in the sound. Is there a fix for this?
I also have a question. After the installation is done smoothly, does it go directly to Carplay when you get in the car? Or do I need to start carplay from the menu every time?
Thank you very much in advance for your answer.
Hi, great video! Question, I have problems with android auto lag... it lags for about 2 seconds.. also when I make calls everyone hears echo and also about 2s lag... Do you have to disconnect the original MB bluetooth and only connect to the Android bluetooth? Thanks
Merciiii beaucoup! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The best explained Video on UA-cam. Thanks!
Everything works except when I talk to one person on the phone, the other person hears an echo. What could be the problem?
your volume is up too loud during these conversations. turn it down a bit, and the echo should go away.
Hello,for what we need the aux cable? Is it important to connect it to the car?(usb port) thanks!
Where do you put in the OVDF cable?
Such a great upgrade for this car - we also fit the same upgrade over here in the UK!

What happens with the two usb-output cables which you ranged on the side? Thanks
I am looking at buying GLC 2017, Benzine version. 1: is it a good car in general with 125k KMs and 2: Does this mean that I can replace the current screen on it with something like this? 3: USB placement is the worst in MB, can they be replaced from the armrest to the "ashtray" area?
Hey Good Evening. On the website it says this screen is only good for GLC 2014-2018. But the video here says 2015-2019. I have a 2019 GLC 300 and just wanted to confirm fitment before I placed an order.
Hi, I recently installed this as per your video tutorial however, the screen is slightly fuzzy. Also, wireless android auto won't work. The app launches on the screen when wired but in either instance, the other person cannot hear me when talking on the phone despite me being able to hear them. Any help you could give would be appreciated.
Hola, sabes como configurar el avatar asistente ?
Is there any lag in the music?
I have the same system when there is a AUX to USB AUX adapter box and the music lags by 3-4s. Like if i hit play, the screen shows the music has started playing but the sound comes after 4s. This is fine for music but really gets annoying during phone calls.
The most important questions on the video don’t haven an answer that put me off straight away about this system unfortunately I think looks great but with technology is very difficult as phones gets updated all the time and eventually the screen may won’t work correctly so I prefer keep my c63s original . 👍
Hi, great post. I fitted the same unit to a merc w246 but having 2 problem and wondered if you might know? The Apple car play telephone calls have no audio? Works with the android telephone and with the original factory radio. I found that the sound for the calls can come out of that small speaker which you disconnected on yours. Any idea how to switch it over the the car speakers?
Also my car is a manual (stick shift) and the reverse camera isn’t switching over when put into reverse.
Thanks
Hi. I have the same problem when using AppleCar. The sound comes from a small speaker and I haven't found a way to fix it(
This video made me order a kit just waiting for a response to my email
Does anyone know where to find the 4 number code to access the fabric settings?
How do you match the original screen with the can
Can you please advise, my zlink5 is unactivated, i’ve connected to the wifi and its still showing as unactivated
Hi, is there anyway of removing the android logo man thing
Great video! Tks! Do you have the booklet in pdf? I need de extra settings password to change some configurations.
Thank you!
No, we do not yet have a booklet in PDF.
However, do try the passcode 1314.
great tutorial👍can you tell me why you didn't connect the GPS? Is it because you use an Android phone and not an iPhone?
Thanks for your answer👍
Thank you!
The GPS was not connected because the customer wanted to use this system strictly for Apple CarPlay, meaning they will use their iPhone's navigation system rather than the included GPS.
The GPS is only needed if you want to connect the system itself to third party Android applications such as Google maps within the system.
If you use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you won't need to connect the GPS, because it uses your phone's GPS.
Great video , would you know when I installed a 12.3 screen in a c250 , 2015 plate I don’t get no sound and the radio won’t work
Thank you!
This sounds like a fiber optic cable problem. Follow the below instructions:
Firstly, ensure that the fiber optic cable is swapped over: 19:52
Secondly, install the AUX cable from our harness, into the center console: 17:45
Thirdly, Enter your original NTG interface, and set the sound output to USB AUX: 26:57
Simple GPS and WiFi Antenna Installation
You don't need to install the GPS and WiFi antennas in a complicated and time-consuming way (like in this video). I tried installing the two antennas right below the subwoofer, and it has been working fine since July 2023 until today (February 2024). It's as simple as removing the adhesive backing and sticking it right below the subwoofer.
Did it end up getting good signal for both the Screen nav apps (like Google maps and waze) and for the wifi signal for wireless android auto/apple car play? It does seem to be much easier the wat you mentioned.
@@hjuninhoh Yes, it's very simple to set up. You just need to remove the subwoofer grille, underneath which there are two flat surfaces parallel to the windshield of the car. You stick two WiFi and GPS antennas there, then put the grille back on, and you're done. Use some apps like FAST Speed Test and GPS Test to check the signal strength again.
Another begginner question, do we have to disconnect the battery before installing? I will try to DIY this next weekend 😅
@@hjuninhoh no, just turning off the engine is enough. To make sure nothing unexpected can happen, it is best to touch a certain area in the engine compartment, the unpainted metal part to eliminate static electricity.
Got it! Will keep that in mind! Thanks for the tips! Hehe
I've installed an android screen but when I'm driving in the android screen in switches to the OEM screen that switches back again automatically. Any ideas what this could be?
Hi, i checked the video and you didn't connect a microphone for phone calls, is it because it use the ORIGINAL microphone from the car ????
Probably the best explained video. When you unplugged the AUX did you leave the one cable unplugged and u plugged the android one?
Hi!
Yes, that is correct. When the AUX is unplugged from each other on the main power harness, one end of the AUX is literally just alone. You do not need to connect it to anything.
Where can i buy this for my car. thanks 🙏
Thanks very much for the installation guide, was very useful to me. But I have a problem with the rear camera.Its works fine when Im in the OEM menu but It doesnt switch in automatic when Im in the android menu. Do you know if I have to change any setting or what happen? Thanks very much and sorry for my english...
i have the same problem, you have a solution?
@@Sinan-vi3hz not yet my friend. If I find the solution I will tell you. Could you make same with me? Thanks
@@gordito22 yes i will
Hallo meine frage wie funktioniert das vollbild mit androidauto.bei mir geht kein billbild.danke
Hi my friend. I installed one device like this, but i have no sound. Only in the original car. Tha audio is actived. What´s wrong? Something in the settings menu? Please help me. Thanks in advanced. Great work, by the way.
Watch from 27 minz. It should give you your answer!
Need to setting done can bus i think.
Thanks for a good detailed installation. You missed out the 2 USB cables sticking out on the passenger side. What do you do with them?
Hi!
In regards to the 2 USB cables sticking out the side, you can either leave them there, or tuck them back up hind the trim to sit until you want to use them, so you can simply just reach in with your fingers and pull them down. They are not necessary unless you would like to use Wired Carplay/Auto, or need to update the system. :)
@@euroactiveretrofitshi - thank you for this great video - is wired CarPlay better , I heard there is a delay with wireless CarPlay?
@@jrFRA118wired CarPlay is way better but the advance of wireless is that when u enter the car it connects automatically without you doing something
@@euroactiveretrofitshi, can those two USBs be used for power? For example I want a hidden place to plug my dash camera in can I use the two that we stick out from the passenger side?
I installed the Android display and also have sound. In general everything works perfectly. But I have a strange problem, I hear strange noises, especially when I don't have anything on, i.e. no music or video. The noise is similar to a beeping… is that normal? I read in a forum that it's generally the w205 aux, but if that's true, can you do something about it? Currently I'd rather drive with no sound than hear this beeping noise. If anyone can help please reply here
Installed but car info screen doesn’t open and keeps the screen black and cannot connect audio now
After I install the Android screen my touchpad stop working. Did I do something wrong?
Great video, I’m based in the USA ,I have a 2015 C300 W205 sport package …, 1/ would your Apple CarPlay kit work on my car with it being a USA spec model? . 2/ would I be able to purchase this kit online ? 3/ How much ? I’m very interested. Please let me know. Many thanks . AJ
This screen is fully compatible with your car, and after installation, it will provide two options: Android Auto and CarPlay, both of which are wireless (using Wi-Fi from the second connection onwards). This screen is available for purchase online, and installation is also very straightforward. However, when placing an order, you should provide the seller with information about the SIM card model from your local service provider, as it may vary by region and state. The price ranges from $630 to $800, depending on the screen size and internal memory capacity.
@@isalighting thank you for getting back to me , one more question? What’s the name of the company I can purchase the Android Auto kit from any links ?? Thanks
Link in the description, you can purchase the complete kit there@@antonwill1656
What do I do if I can’t find it on Bluetooth?
Could anyone please share what is the back bracket (as shown at 21:47 in this video) product # or name as mine broke (dumb me, it cracked during installation) :(? Need to buy that separately. Also the power cable harness - where do I find that? It's now cut. ;(
Should be a parts number on the back
Not showing anything.... :( @@vandekaart1041
Hi my bluetooth has one way transmission. The can hear me bug I can't hear them. All other sounds are fine. Any ideas. It's in a 250glc.
Did u end up solving the issue I have the same issue
I had to fit the external speaker. If you have an iPhone you won't need the speaker.
@@lwxkm11I do have an iPhone but still have that bug
Hi, just instaled the same system. Only one problem - every time, while driving forward, I'm press turn signal, pops up reverse camera view.. It is possible to disable this function ? Maybe do You know how ?
Hi, I think that could be the camera selection. In the setting icon. Try changing the camera type to 360 if your car doesn’t have a reverse camera?
@@robertnewlyn8880 justt find out - Settings > Factory Settings > password xxxx choose Harman Kardon ( although my car don't have such a system) ... then - RESET all unit with pin. Only then works fine ;) I just tried all possible options.
Change the camera setting in user setting there

It’s the settings on factory settings u need to know ur strep code
since a few days my phone isn’t connecting anymore with the Bluetooth so no music calls car play of any kind works now and don’t know how to fix it
but at Bluetooth it now says not activated i think there’s something wrong with that.
also in the android Bluetooth setting it shows nothing really weird and it worked before so something must be not right
When I go in the car’s original system the screen is flickering but everthing else is working??? Help please
1. Click 'Settings'.
2. Go to 'Factory Settings' at the bottom.
3. Type the passcode '1314'.
4. On the left side, click 'Car Display'.
5. Try a different option until you find one that works and does not flicker.
For video instructions go to 25:50
Same here, different options dont work.
Same issue here
Hi, my sound is delayed. Im put jack-usb adapter to 2nd port in glovebox and it doesnt matter. Im playing any source like youtube or spotiffy directly from the unit and its so much delayed...
@AlCabanas...hii!! I am also facing the same issue..did u manage to resolve it???If yes please share with me...thanks buddy!!
@@gauravrohatgi446 I think the problem is this box, Jack-USB converter. It's analog to digital sound converter. I don't think it is possible to resolve. I didn't try yet but we can try connect this unit with stock radio by bluetooth.
who in brisbane installs these?
