Nice description of the installation. I have one of these on the way for my 2014 w204. I'm curious as to why the microphone is needed, why can't you tap into the existing microphone? Also, instead of have the USB cable from the can hanging out under your dash, do you think it's possible to use the existing USB outlet in the compartment, between the seats, where the media plug is located?
Hey mate, can you just confirm that you didn’t need to connect anything into the glovebox and accessing the AUX in settings made it work? Just don’t want to have to remove all no the centre console to run an audio cable in there as others have?
thanks for this, it would be good to see where exactly you mounted the unit behind the glovebox. How did you attached it? Did you use doublesided tape?
Nice install. My 2016 E400 W212 with NTG5s1 has the same interior. However, I installed the Android 10.5 Touch Screen and man its soooo much better. Surprize the owner of that vehicle didn't opt for that instead.
Joe A The replacement screens have come a very long way in recent years. We find ourselves doing them more and more often. I offer the solution to our customers however in this case our customer wanted to keep the car with original parts (screen etc) it was also an E400 and extremely clean 👌🏽
The Fitting Bay Best part of the Android 10.5 Touch screen it was all plug and play retaining original OEM screen application with option to switch to Android applications at a touch.
I recently got a new iPhone 13 and now I always have problems connecting to CarPlay and always have to hold the command button and reset the system to get music and Siri to work. It worked flawlessly with my iPhone 8. I tried factory resetting and forgetting the Bluetooth and no changes. Any recommendations?.
Thank you so much for your efforts done for this review. I have a 2013 Mercedes SL and I would love to install this kit but I'm concerned about the OEM look of the car. Any clues on how to fix the usb and aux cables without it sticking out?
Hey, just curious, if you receive a phone call, and you were listening to the radio or something in the oem system, does carplay pop up, and does the audio work?
Anyone experiencing a blank screen issue with this whenever it tries to switch CarPlay? I’m noticing this every time the vehicle is park outside when it’s hot.
Hey, I just installed one of these and the screen turns black when I switch to the interface. My phone detects android auto when I plug it in, the audio works from my phone, and it seems like the menu options work when I randomly use the knob. The original interface works fine but I can't see the android auto when I switch. Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks in advance. 😁
Hey i own a W212 from 2010 and it had an Audio 50 Aps unit. Im new with the car an was wondering if the ntg is the same. And if you can do this same upgrade to that unit
@@TheFittingBay what I'm saying is I have an e63s with 4 cameras. Already installed from the factory. Front camera under emblem, two cameras on side view mirrors, and a rear camera. How would that all work with this module since it only has two camera inputs?
NewShockerGuy the genuine cameras work as normal. There’s no extra plugs for the factory cameras. These inputs are extra inputs on top of the system as it is. So in your case they get taped up and put away. The genuine camera system will continue to work as normal. If you’re in CarPlay and select R the camera system will come up. If you’re in CarPlay and try to activate the camera system with a button it will not work you’ll need to switch back to OEM screen. Hope that makes sense :)
Hi! Would this work on a car with factory Bang & Olufsen audio system? Is there any difference in sound quality after installing this kit? (2014 E63 AMG S)
@@TheFittingBay yes, I didn't know how to call it in english. :D Where is the USB cable installed? Is it necessary to add a new one, or can it be connected to the USB that comes with the car?
Hi, I've been following this video another video very closely and am pretty sure I've done exactly the same. However, I have no sound on both my Command system and Carplay System. I think it may just be a loose connection - which cable is for the sound? Is it the optical lines?
@@TheFittingBay Perfect! Last question: the phone calls are made on the NTG interface (original mic) or on the carplay/android auto interface (new mic)?
Hi, question about the aux, ive done the settings, but when i connect the 3.5 jack adapter it still doesn’t play through the aux, I don’t have the CarPlay connected, i try just to play something before i start fitting the unit , is that suppose to work for example to play from a ipod? Or you just need to switch it on and don’t plug nothing and it will work? Thank you
Hi . My audio works only with „external audio“ not with internal… is it ok or i need to change and how to do that? And harman cardon setup didnt works with carplay modul..
You shouldn’t scream at birds. They were here first! Nice video.
I now see a difference in your video, UCI means media interface. So when activating AUX, you can no longer use the media interface, right ?
Hello brother
I have E350 2012 also I have the same Carplay unit, my question is which DIP switch On??

Sound has to come from Aux or USB with adaptor. There's no two ways about it. AUX gives the best sound IMO
Great video. I’m going to use this guide to install a NTG4.0 unit. Thank you!
Did you end up doing the install ? How did it go ?
Awesome video, best I’ve seen and it’s finally convinced me to buy. Which unit do you recommend please?

flush mount :)
And using the iphone cable with AMI and selecting media interface on MB, can we have the audio from carplay ?
Did you have to run a AUX cable from car play module to arm rest or did changing the setting in engineering mode overcome that ? Thanks
Can you please confirm this ?
Awesome! does the factory USB port in the center console work or does a usb have to come from the glove box?
Need to add a new one :)
Great video. What is that MOST option you disabled in engineering mode. Any idea what MOST stands for?
Thanks! MOSTBUS it’s optical communications network in the car :)
@@TheFittingBay okay. My car has NTG5, so the engineering menu is different. How do I enable aux?

How was the USB connection handled in this install? Does the USB in the center console work as a passthrough?
We ran the new CarPlay USB to the same position in the Glovebox as the genuine USB will not work as a passthrough it is a music interface.

Tried to install that on c207 coupe 2014. Absolutely nowhere to put wire harness. Crazy wasted money and time. :(
Can I use voice to response to messages? Am I able to listen to my factory SiriusXM radio while this unit is enabled through aux?

I wonder if this would work for an e63s that has the 360 degree camera system rather than just a front/rear camera?

Would this work on an a class 2015 shape
Sure will just need to confirm the NTG system
Is the sound quality on this install digital or analogue?
If it's optic fibre it will be digital regardless because the Aux port converts analogue back to digital sound.
