This is an amazing video presentation. Unlike any other UA-camrs they show nothing but their faces and wastes too much time talking nonsense as they present something which is totally annoying. This is straight to very informative points and learning.
I have watched several videos how to add car play to MB and now im 100% sure im not doing it :D Too much space for errors im not taking the risks of damaging it. But cool vid , i think this one is the best for all the other DIYers out there keep it up :)
Thanks I try my best to get the most clear shots I can these dark winter days. Would like to use the garage but doing things inside the car is hard with the lighting.

I had plans with my previous car but never found any camera with good quality enough. The cheap on from AliExpress don’t hold on for long. So sorry that video not coming.
Great video the best I’ve seen yet on these car play boxes for the w212 👍 I have a Roadtop version being delivered tomorrow via Amazon so I’m going to follow this guide and hopefully it’s as easy as you have made it out to be 🤣🤣
Hi David. Did you get the roadtop box installed? I'm curious to know how you connected the audio cable up. It looks like this one used bluetooth to send audio to the MB headunit. But the roadtop instructions show the audio has to be connected to the AUX in the arm rest area. How did yours work out?
Great video and thanks for sharing i do have a question, is there a way on the interface itself to make it say “Mercedes-Benz” and show the logo instead of just “Exit” as of it was OEM
Have 1 more question. As few weeks cant use my joystick for app choose. But its works in oroginal ngt menu and the main menu (where 2 choose ios android aetting mirror…)… how to repair or reset the unit? I think i got changed something in settings in the last menu where u can choose apps…
Thanks for the great video. Does this work for the Facelift W212 models, the year 2014 in particular? The link in the description says just 2012 and 2013.
Yess don’t worry about that, this unit works for all NTG 4.5/4.7 W212 don’t matter which year of model. They probably did a spelling mistake there. Is same unit as in this video, and I also have 2014 year model.
I assume this work only with the ntg 4.5 and newer devices which are equiped with the fancy frame around display(like the one on the video). No support for older audio 20?
Myself and many many my friends upgrade genuine Carplay Mercedes by replacing ntg 5.1 Myself just cost 1200 usd for all- Headunit, Scroll, Usb box (w212 and w212 facelift also)
@@MB212 Myself from NTG 4.5. Certainly you must change camera to adapt 5.1 systems. The camera has an angle when you steer, 180 view and change brightness as well. But my car has already an interface that camera worked with NTG 5.1. The original camera 5.1 system I replace later not expensive, around 350 -400 USD
Yess but only thing I want to say is not easy for the normal mb owners. Also you need things to code etc. I would definitely want to have NTG 5 but don’t have the knowledge time and money for it now.
I have an android screen but I like this and thinking to replace it with this cool interface. I have some questions please: in my android screen system, I have to put the original NTG audio system on AUX to get the sounds work. Is this interface the same ? Or it will work without doing this ? Have tried the USB & HDMI ? Can you change the logo to be Mercedes Benz logo for car icon ?
I have use this kind of CarPlay in my previous ride 2012 with NTG 4.5 and also this with NTG 4.7 2014 and both working to play music and phone from the original Bluetooth source with CarPlay interface. Some functions the sounds only works with AUX menu I believe as voice control or when mirror the screen. But so far I have only use the normal Bluetooth. USB & HDMI I have not used at all so far.
I did retrofit that panel because I had the standard plastic one. But I going to order the 4-MATIC emblem and put it there. God you remind me because I kinda forgot that already!
@@MB212 You're right, I saw the video where you replaced the bald ugly matte black panel. I'm looking for that Avantarde emblem, because I'm missing it. Will it be free? :)
Yess you could get it for free if you like, but the sticky tape would not be possible to reuse so you have to glue it back somehow. But is actually pretty cheap new from dealer around 7 euro.
Yess emblem is possible to buy new from mb coast around 7 euro. I could check part-nr if you like? But I could send this to you also if you like for free when I changing it.
The yes and no is because some of the android phones don’t seems to support wireless connection for some reason. I don’t know why unfortunately. I only use iPhone 😅
I notice you have the optional Harman Kardon stereo system. Would you say this was worth having ? It's quite hard to find on the diesel W212's here in the UK.
Yess and yess is so much better then the basic system. Now when I have it I would have a hard time going back to the basic. Is well worth to wait for a good deal with Harman I would say 🔥
I got you mate is actually same here even if diesel is really common is rare with the options. I had some luck finding this beast but is was expensive 🥲
Hi there, I noticed you didn't connect the AUX cable to the port under the armrest. Do you lose any functionality that way? I am planning to do the same as you did since it's a lot of work threading the wire through the center console. Thank you!
Actually not 100% sure but in this car I don’t even have a aux port, and everything seems to work good. Also did install on my previous 212 and in that car I had aux port but never installed it and it still worked good.
@@MB212 thanks so much. Do you mind sharing what the difference between these options are? There seem to be a significant price difference between them.
I actually could not find any significant different between them. The only thing coming to my mind is the interface and that’s I like more from this device then the previous I installed.

Thanks! I don’t think you could get any other logo there, but I could ask the manufacturer if they could make it happen 👍
I would really appreciate if you could, thanks in advance
I m sure that many oem from china has this Mercedes Logo instead of Exit
I would like to ask about the synchronization problem between this device and the car screen. Is there no delay at all?
great movie, could you show how to change the LED lighting in the interior from the original orange to other colors as in newer models?
use the existing car menu to control colors... it's standard!

Have you ever swapped out the audio 20 5.8 screen to the 7inch? I heard if you match numbers it’s doable but I’m not sure what numbers
Once out of the box no need to adjust settings from the back?
I did not but could be good to check them out before assembling.
Are you still using it or did you already replaced it?
Sir just wondering is the cartizan and road top module box same size? Thanks
I have e220 2012 model and I thing it has ntg 4.0 can I upgrade the radio unit to preface lift ?
Could you link a good way to Get Apple car play in your w212 2010 ? I have ntg 4.0 but i dont have an website. Could you link one that trustworthy

This also support the old screen with audio 20 But only NTG 4.5 / 4.7 if you have NTG 4.0 you need to buy from other manufacturer.
Good evening and good morning to all. Now I’m really getting crazy which one to get? The first video from road top or this cartizan😇🙏
Both are great systems, but I personally like this interface from cartizan more.
Also I only have a back rear view camera hope it would also work?
Yess is working as good with only rear camera.
Now I’ll email them for discount hopefully it would be a success
Thanks so much Sir Fran our Friend indeed😇🙏
Good afternoon, I have comand ntg4.0, which product is suitable for me, you can help, thanks
