I never use touch screen on cars with controls on the armrest. The screen is too far, I have to bend to reach it. Far more convenient for me are the controls on the armrest and steering wheel. I will need android auto for my w212, but I would probably get the one that keeps the original screen
Did I miss a video or did you not get around to doing the intercooler, turbo & injectors upgrade? I'm at 315bhp, up from 242, thanks to GAD Tuning which is pretty much max for the standard injectors and turbo. Looking for tips on where to go next as I hear that 400wheel bhp is not impossible for these beasts.
No you did miss a video I still haven’t got round to fitting the hybrid turbo.. I am still waiting on a couple of other mods before I do the install.. 👍🏻
Does the arm rest control dial as well as the center volume control dual still work, or do these two controls become inactive once the carplay is installed?
Do you have to install a sim card and the Common Roof Antenna also needs to be connected or may be a part of the kit it self and also same for GPS Antenna?
No need to install a SIM card for this to work, it just has the option. Yes it need the the gps antenna but mine sits at the back of the unit in the dash and it works well.
@@RichOvertonGasoline Thanks a lot. My car even windshied is tinted with Heat Rejection film and also all the windows -GPS signal is is nil or very low
Yes, overall it better than the OEM unit, however it sometime the video feed doesn't come on until you put the car into reverse, I think there maybe a connector loose somewhere but haven't had the time to check.😆👍
Bro the Controller(knob) in the middle doesn‘t work do u know What i could do Like i can‘t go right or left up or down with the Controller which cable is the oke i have to Look for
Great video, been looking at that same head unit for a while. But I don’t understand why the cable had to be run to armrest? Do the cables at back of head unit not connect to speakers?
@@RichOvertonGasoline I've found one in Europe which will arrive on 3rd Sept. I've got no chance of fitting it myself, don't have the skills. Will find an engineer before I purchase, cheers for reply.
Ah, sorry about the link, if you look on ebay you should find the model to fit you car. There are couple of business on the Facebook Mercedes forums that sell them also. 👍
@@RichOvertonGasoline I do, but now I am thinking that maybe the fiber cables may have come loose when pushing the harness into place. I need to pull the radio out again to confirm. When I pull the fiber cable in the trunk to the amp, I don't see any light emitting from it. I can't think of anything else it could be. Thank you for the reply!
I think I have a deeper problem. Out of frustration I removed the android screen and reinstalled the factory system and still have no audio. I am wondering if my amp is bad. I noticed the fan on the amp is not spinning. Do you know if if should spin all the time when the radio is on? Just trying to figure out where my issue is. Thanks!

Have you updated the device with the latest firmware / software? I would email the manufacture and ask them. they should be able to advise on the latest version. Thanks for the support👍
Good vid, how long did it take to install?
About 2-3hr to install.
Hi can u do one for me on my Mercedes-Benz e-class
Screen is too poky for my liking I still prefer to oem look just my opinion
You sped up the details that are most important to me.
Sorry about that… which part did you need help with?

Yes smart move
And after a while the unit rattles and when you change cars it can be a problem
👍🏻
Only thing i dont like is it blocks the front sensor leds. Which it sat slightly lower
Yeah, I don't really notice that I what for the beeps😆.

Excellent Video
Thank you 👍🏻

No both still works, the audio is through the AUX input and the controls are still active.
Just got a e350 coupe with red interior ! Thinking about doing this to my system as well.
Defiantly worth the investment.
@@RichOvertonGasoline can the 12in screen fit?
@@RichOvertonGasoline i got an e class coupe as well how much will it cost me to do like yours mate?
@@donduchiee6923 I think the 12 inch screen might be a little too big.
@@xhulio91ify I think the kit is about £576.
Great stuff
Thanks ☺️

Rich are you still happy with this unit, I am looking to do this as well?

Ah what a pain! I’m not sure which cable it is tbh.. I would just check them all. 👍🏻
It is very interested it will be good for my 2015 Eclass
Definitely worth the money..
Hey Rich, are you still running this, and how has it been?
Still running it without any issues.
Great video, been looking at that same head unit for a while. But I don’t understand why the cable had to be run to armrest? Do the cables at back of head unit not connect to speakers?
Not for the sound it has to be connected through the AUXILIARY port.
@@RichOvertonGasolinedoes this impact sound quality since it is using Aux?
@@mohmoney2000 not at all the sound quality is great. 👍🏻
Hey does this display and system support adding front and back camera 24h recording loops?
Yes you have inputs on the screen..
. Lost my torque bit too rich lol . Did you run a cable for GPS?
Just run it under the dash.
Hi great vid. Where did you buy it from? Your link says delivery in three weeks, is it coming from China or somewhere? cheers.
When I bought the screen it only took a couple of days for delivery.. I purchased it for the same link.. 👍🏻
@@RichOvertonGasoline I've found one in Europe which will arrive on 3rd Sept. I've got no chance of fitting it myself, don't have the skills. Will find an engineer before I purchase, cheers for reply.
hi how has the unit held up any probs?
Unit was all good but moved out of it last year!!
Hi there, is it the 10 inch or 12? Thanks
It’s 10.5” 👍🏻
Hi, did you have to ground the audio, my audio is very crackly
Just found a ground point behind the dash.
Will try with my merc too
This a must upgrade...
Hello mate
The one in your bio is out of stock, what other ones are out there on the market for a 2014 E250
Ah, sorry about the link, if you look on ebay you should find the model to fit you car. There are couple of business on the Facebook Mercedes forums that sell them also. 👍
Hey there Rich.
Can you still play 'old Skool CD's' through it?
Cheers
Yeah the original Mercedes stereo still works as normal. 👍🏻
Can you still go back to original screen
Cheers 👍
Yeah the old screen would just fit straight back in 👍🏻
@@RichOvertonGasoline thanks but I mean the original fonts ..cheers Rich
@@SuperRogers007 oh 🤦🏻 yeah you switch to the original interface 👍🏻
Thanks mate much appreciated 👍
I can’t get audio to work. Did run cable to the arm rest and plugged in. Nothing. Also I cannot get apple carplay to work.
Have you got the Mercedes stereo set to Aux?
@@RichOvertonGasoline I do, but now I am thinking that maybe the fiber cables may have come loose when pushing the harness into place. I need to pull the radio out again to confirm.
