You need to tell people that you need NTG5s1 Audio 20 system on your benz for this to work. Most A, B, CLA and GLA class cars have this on 2016 and beyond models. C class use NTG5s2, which does not have Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto in the system, thus, the OBD adapter will not work. Only cars equipped with NTG5s1. :-)
Good to know Chris, thanks. Does this mean cars equipped with COMAND cannot be retrofitted with Apple Carplay via OBD port? I've also read that the USB port in the central console needs to have the tablet icon, otherwise that won't work too. I guess the non-tablet USB ports are for COMAND. Does this sound right?
I have original charger cable. There are two port. The first port is fitting my cable head but only chager the phone. There is tab icon port but my cable is not fitting to in. Please, What cable need to add it in?
Hi, does this work on NTG5*1. I have a mercedes Benz 2015 E350D. though there is a provision in Engineering mode to activate the carplay but does not get activated.
My Mercedes CLA 180d x117 shows a Dealer Menu where I can click "Jump to RUI activation" and then insert a code to unlock software feautres like CarPlay and Android Auto. Why would I need to use the OBD dongle if I can insert an unlock code? Could you sell unlock code?
I have a Mercedes GLA 200 x156 registered on 09.2015. I am not sure if the Audio 20 of my car is NTG 5s 1 or NTG 5...I cannot find this information. I wish to be sure before ordering the OBD adapter (Android Auto activation tool)
Hello Georgios Koskinas, did you manage to install apple car play on your GLA? Mine is also registered 09/2015 and I would like to try. Thanks if you want to answer me
@@linoserrao9453 Dear Lino, Actually no,..I use my smartphone via bluetooth just to have voice assistance during driving with Sygic navigation. To tell you the truth, I changed my mind and I use only the necessary technology for a safe driving in the car. For sure I can change now my screen to the latest 10,5 inch android...but I don't find any sence, as my present system has all necessary equipment including reverse camera etc...
@@Funnyvideos123lol-nb8 Dear georgios, I finally bought the software and installed it. Only apple car play works, android auto even if installed does not go
Do we have to keep this module plugged into the OBD port each time we want to use Car Play or Android Auto or does it activate it permanently after first use? Thanks!
jim litton you mentioned that it is available in eBay. Can you share that link.. The link shared in Ali express looks like it ship with both the software and hardware for enabling CarPlay. Isn’t it better to buy from Mercedes directly rather than non genuine product which is 120 usd.

This is a scam and does not work. Bought the activator for my 2016 A Class (W176). Android Auto appears on COMAND unit but doesn't actually work with the phone.

Have you actually tried Android Auto in the car in the video? Im pretty sure it doesnt work.
Yes, I found that "Android auto icon" is white, not blue+White. So when I plugged in the USB cable , nothing happened.
Same happens to me. I bought the activator but android auto won't work :(
@@feriyzhen same for me. Have you ever figured a way out to get Android auto to work?
Do we have to keep this module plugged into the OBD port each time we want to use Car Play or Android Auto or does it activate it permanently after first use? Thanks!
Richiee Torres It activates the first time and then u dont have any use of the OBD . u dont have to keep it plugged in .
Super 👌
Dose it allways need to be pluged in? Or do i just activate it with OBS and Then take it out?
Just plug in and take out
hello, I have a 2017 MB GLA, but it didnt come with android auto, will this product work on my car? thanks

Hi Jim this works on a A Class 180 W176 year 2016 ?
Pedro Cruz Yes
Does this require the USB port in the central console to have the tablet icon? Or does that not matter?
Brian Westfield there are two ports usually . plug in the tab icon usb port
jim litton my USB ports do not have the tablet icon. Does it mean I can’t do this?
Brian Westfield nope . one of the ports should detect .
did you manage to get it to work? mine doesn't have the tab icon either
Will it work for 2017 GLC300?
jcmpli Enquire whether ur car has NTG5s1 audio 20 system or NTG5s2 . If NTG5s1 , this would work .
jim litton so it will work in all the audio systems u mentioned in your answer.
Also how can I find out what audio system is in a 2017 glc 300. Thanks
jim litton I have an Audio 20 system.
jcmpli ntg5s1?

You should have lower prices on iPhones because of navigation support lack.

This is a scam and does not work. Bought the activator for my 2016 A Class (W176). Android Auto appears on COMAND unit but doesn't actually work with the phone.
R T it worked for iphone
@@jimlitton iPhone isn't android
R T you try connecting an iphone to check whether its activated and then try with latest android update with ur phone

Why doubts ?
jim litton i have the earthly model glc 300 coupe
jerry Robinson Can u post pic of ur infotainment screen
jim litton .. where to?? My 2 usb I'm arm rest are different from others..2017 glc 300 coupe
U just have to plug in the obd device in ur obd port which is located under the steering wheel .
does this work with E200 - 2017 VIN: WDDZF4CB4HA026879
It can fit for c class bro
Ntg5s2 is used in c class . It wont work with this adapter.
You have told us absolutely nothing.
You can buy activation tool at: mbenzcoder.com
Use this link to buy the accessory for CarPlay www.unichip-tec.com/col.jsp?id=109
Keep in mind they will need the VIN number to validate if OBD is needed or CarPlay box needs to be installed.
Does this work on w212 c207 e 350 coupe ? 2015 with NTG 5.0 ?
Does this work for E class A207? E550 2016 convertible
Will this work on 65 plate a-class a180 w176 ?
