Activate Android Auto/Car Play on 2016 Mercedes-Benz A Class

Here's how I was able to activate Android Auto on my 2016 Mercedes-Benz A 220d (w176). The same instructions can also be used to activate Apple Car Play.
When I first got the vehicle, I was quite disappointed that it didn't come with Android Auto, and I had planned to update the head unit to one of those 10" Android displays. Luckily I stumbled upon some additional settings that I hadn't seen before while trying to figure out something else, and to my delight, Android Auto could actually be activated and works great!

Do you have any advice on enabling android auto/Apple car play on a 2019 GLC300, without buying an expensive module?

@user-wt5un6ru2h Жыл бұрын

Yes!! Worked perfectly for my 2017 SLC300, fully enabled the Android Auto, took 30 seconds. This is the only video which explains the actual mechanism for enabling these features when they are absent from the top-level menus. Went to two Mercedes service depts, they were clueless.

I have been able to go into the engineer menu only after doing a factory reset on the vehicle menu. Unfortunately, variant coding menu is the only one greyed and I could not go further in my attempts to switch Android Auto. My car is a B250ed (electric drive W242 similar to W246 for most parts of the dashboard).
