I have seen a lot of walkthroughs. But this here must be the best edited, best lightened and still most detailed one. Thank you so much!
This is by far the best walkthrough video i've ever seen! Thank you!
I've just finished doing this and the installation went very smoothly, helped by your excellent video.
The only issue I had was with the sound. I'm using Mercedes BT for sound. My E350 already had Aux configured (probably from new) so I didn't need to change that. Changing MOST from internal to external amplifier actually stopped sound from working. I initially followed the instructions and sound didn't work. Once I switched back to internal amplifier, everything worked perfectly.
The camera angles and lighting on this video really helped me when I installed my own and now I have Carplay working perfectly. The screen is a bit small but everything works well.
Thank you.
Just did this install, it worked perfectly and exactly as shown here. My only note was in the part where they recommend you crack the plastic to fit the wires through -- I didn't find it that difficult on my vehicle to get them up there without having to do that, but YMMV.
The biggest challenge for me was getting the head unit back in. The new harness/adapter kept getting in the way, and I had to get it lined up perfectly with a void below the head unit by getting my hand in there when the head was half-way in and pushing the new harness down, and THEN once it was perfectly in position, I could push the unit back in.
Otherwise excellent, super easy install, no weird trouble or tech support needed. Thanks guys!
Can I ask you how long does it take from starting the car till you can for example use navigation? It was cut in the video. Thanks.
My CarPlay is usually up and running BEFORE the screen finishes loading some times. It’s consistently about-as or faster than the OEM equipment is.
@@deuley thanks
Do we need to connect cable first to enable wireless CarPlay? I see him plugging lightning cord. I don’t understand why we need it if it’s wireless. Thanks!
Thank you. That was very clear and well-explained.
Hello, I installed this product on my vehicle. 2013 W212 but there was a problem like this, the joystick round rotation does not work. Can you help me?
Hi where is factory setting on this screen as all apps are showing S change wallpaper needs factory settings put back and no reverse camera at all but showing parking sensors only can you help please
Would this also work in a 2012 C-Class C204?
where can i buy the wireless CarPlay youre demonstrating here? thanks
Hi, does this android car play system able to playback youtube videos on the car screen while driving? if not, can i play videos from a usb pen drive? thanks

Hi, Thank you for your kind words!
Can you put the link for the product to buy it. Thank you
What are the dimensions of the new behind the screen module?
Struggling to hide all the wires and new connectors and can’t get the head unit back in …..any tips?
Would this work for a 2011 ?
Upon checking I already have Aux below Bluetooth! Why y’all think? Do I skip engineering set up? I’ve 2013 E350.
Will this work with a w204 c class?
Wish you had the kit for 2011 w212
Will it still show mercedes screen mercedes info settings still.
bro! Amazing!
Sir how can I get the product kit
What about the ntg? What ntg s do this module support?
This is for NTG 4.5. I think it may support later versions as well.
For Ireland and UK (right hand drive), do I need to buy a specific model? Many thanks. Emailing you now..
No. The only difference is that everything is mirrored in the video but the unit itself doesn't care which country it's used in nor whether it's LHD or RHD.
Did you remove the battery car connection before disconnecting and after connecting the merchandise? Thanks so much Sir
You do not need to do that. Thank you
When calls come in, does it come in through the Mercedes system or through carplay? Or does it depend on what interface you are currently using?
Valid and important question
Do i need to Enable MOST ? I have no Harmon Kardon?
Yes. Thank you
Help me
I did the same steps as you and for the sound to appear on the AUX.
But the whole voice disappeared now there is no sound even in Bluetooth😞😞
Help me please
Don’t change the settings to external amp as he described
It’s wrong instruction
How quickly does it connect when you get into the car?
Within 45 seconds. Thank you.
I still cant get my sound comung out from the aux. Can u help me? Should i change to external amp? If i do that, my original player does not have sound. But both external amp and internal amp gives no sound from the carplay device
Me too please did you find a solution??
@@FetchAldid you solve the problem? I have the Problem too
Did you guys find the solution. I also have no sound at all
Are these compatible with the pre facelift w212? 2009-2012?
No
@@beatsbyry This isn't necessarily true. My 2012 E350 is pre-facelift but has NTG 4.5 and this worked perfectly on mine. What matters is what NTG version you have.
What should i buy i have same model 2012-2015
Or 2016 ?
I need help
Not compatible with 2011 e350?
Hi, please email us a picture of your stereo to our email: info@gtacarkits.com
Do we need to plug the phone into the USB? Can we do everything wireless without having a phone connection to a wire
You will be able to use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly. Thank you
@@gtacarkitsI’m considering buying one for my 2013 w212. How does wireless works exactly? I couldn’t understand from the video. Thanks!
@@santagautam115 You can pair your phone wirelessly to our kit, through our settings. Thank you.
@@gtacarkits via Bluetooth?
@@santagautam115 Via Bluetooth and Wifi at the same time. Thank you
I want to buy this kit. Can you provide a link to were i can purchase it.
I want this kit also . Part kit number? And where I find it?
Is this not wireless Android auto / car play?
He shows both in the video.
whats the wifi antenna for?
Antenna is used for Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Thank you.
Why did you have to connect to the lightning cable in the video if it's wireless?
@@Amge55v8 He didn't. It's just quicker and easier than Bluetooth. He shows it working wirelessly later in the video.
how would u go with adding subwoofer??

This is bs, you will have problems.
I had issues
What when wrong with yours?
@@mrmobosdad9546 i haven’t done it pal, researched about it and came to the conclusion it’s a waste of money and time, none seem reliable.
This isn't BS. It worked on my 2012 E350. The only issue I had was that I had to use internal rather than external amplifier in the settings but apart from that, everything worked exactly as in the video.
Does it work with Android ?
