It's just ok. I just started to watch this.. I'm only 1 min in this video.. and on this first minute it already lacks vital information. He says, release two clips.. ok I think, but how? Does one press it in (inside)? Pull it out (towards you)? Move it/press it left (sideways)? Move it/press it right (sideways)? Outwards on both sides? Inside on both sides? The problem is, specially if you are doing this alone, then you can brake something if you don't know before hand how to do this. He spend some time to describe the obvious as you have to remove this panel.. the important part is how it is done precisely. Ok.. I'm on the next minute and he fails to mention before hand the two clips right sides in the "glove box", he even try's to release the front panel or try to ply it off, but then figure out at last it's wrong method and correct himself by pointing out these two clips and indeed do describe very well how to release them. At third minute he could easily mention how the first two clips work in the middle when when the front panel is off.

I agree

How did it go??

yes, there are a lot of steps, particularly because higher end luxury cars go through great pains to secure the vehicles, but there was nothing complicated. If you're not used to working on cars, I guess it can be intimidating, but like most things, with practice comes familiarity, confidence, and efficiency.

Most welcome

Did you figure it out?

@@RF3seeker according to the dealership near me (worst people to ask) the US version of this car can’t activate the internal AUX. I’m still looking for someone that can access engineering mode in my car so I can check for myself. The way it is right now isn’t the worst thing in the world when the CarPlay connects before the Bluetooth, but I personally don’t like to do extra steps when I get in my car, so I won’t rest till it works the way it’s supposed to.

@Patrick Roland thanks for the quick reply! I'm really interested in a '16 E400 for the price and the body style is really sharp. I suppose adding Android Auto for simplifying navigation on the go is a want not a need it's a small issue but one I am dissatisfied with in my current '15 RDX.

@@RF3seeker knowing what I know now, try to get into engineering mode before installing the CarPlay android auto device. The CarPlay is highly used for navigation and it’s worth it for that alone. The car is a dream. Make sure you get a 4matic, it drives better even if you don’t get snow where you are. It’s expensive to fill up the tank, but it last a long time. And if you can, make sure your car has the adaptive headlights, it’s crazy expensive to add them on at a later time

could do it blindfolded right

I installed in my 2014 E350 convertible. When i engage the reverse, the camera comes on for a second and the unit clicks off. When i engage system in audio to AUX the system clicks off. When i dial on the car phone it works, but no audio via speakers. ANY Suggestions or guidance of what to do to address these situations? I have the entire car apart still. ALSO radio doesn't play sound either.

"Internal AUX" menu option togled ON... Where do you plug in then to route through to head display & sound????

Please include instructions on this so I can figure it out cause I am trying to avoid the have to run a cable to the aux.

@@glasser2819 you dont need to plug anything else.

What year is your car? Having a tough time getting into the engineering mode.

It's a 3M wrap

let me guess... radio remains active regardlessly of the Audio screen being displayed...but perhaps not if AUX input is for videos 🤔

Hi, do you already have an answer to your question? I am also concerned about this.

@@AndrzejKulczewicz Change audio source to FM in COMAND and then use CarPlay- the audio will still work

@@MergersAndAcquisitions So I can hear maps directions over the FM radio? Will both audio feeds mix or I won't hear the audio from the carplay?

Assuming you need to navigate to AUX port to activate Carplay, FM radio should be automatically disabled unless the device itself has FM radio function within

Have you got an answer to this? If yes please let me know.

how can you make it work without connecting to AUX Input ???

@@glasser2819 Dies it mean that although so many wiring is used, you have to use AUX via MMI interface to make it working? No way to connect module with Comand directly? Another disadvantage is that you lose a standard AUX connection at all for connecting any other device.

@@AndrzejKulczewicz these cars are sold around the world with DIFFERENT OPTIONS package on different software levels. My '14 has a big media plug in the center console next to a USB that may accept the more simple USB module extension?? (right now I am dealing with issues of engine MED17.7 computer discharging AGM Batt while driving..., so I am not looking for additional problems)

it needs to be put there & than a little peice on the other side for the audio to work

This happened to me. I solved the problem by double checking that the "toggles" on the back of the CarPlay unit were set to the correct spec. First I had it set for a 5.8" screen, but my screen is actually 7". Then I tried to set it for 7" and it still didn't work, because I made an error putting in the correct toggle sequence. Third time was a charm!

We do not. But if you are local and have that car, please reach out to us. Thank you. info@gtacarkits.com we are looking for it for a video. Thank you.

No shit mf, it works for 2012-2016

Can you please explain what happens if you want to use voice directions when using google maps with the car play and listen to FM from the car's receiver? Do both audio feeds mix or one of them will be missing?

@@speedermarto I think one of them will be missing but I am not sure as the voice directions is always off on my navigation cause I don’t like it.

Bluetooth sound quality is substantially worse than wired. If you're going to the trouble, give yourself the best audio quality you can

@@dpfefferbaum not if you’re using the original Bluetooth

@@basilqasrawi3494 Hey! Sorry if my question is kinda dumb, but the way you do it is by having the phone connected to the Android Auto/Carplay module via Wifi but still have the normal Bluetooth connection between car and phone, did I get that right? Do the skip-track-buttons in the middle work this way? Do the phone controls work on the steering wheel work? Does the phone output the Google Maps instructions via BT>Car stereo, too? Thanks in advance!

External. Thank you.

I think the company updated the kit since this video was filmed. Mine did not come with a mic at all and siri/calls/etc all work just fine with the Mercedes mic

@@thebioniclimb Thanks for this information! if I want to order the latest version, where can I find that product? thanks!

@@thebioniclimb what year is you e class? Trying to figure out how to set up the audio in my 2016

best price is on e bay

How dare you using an Android phone, if you're a Mercedes E class owner? 😂

@@MrR5000 a Higher end android maybe?

@@DanielHernandez-lr1yx Absolutely. Android anytime anywhere over iPhone

It will work with Android Auto, but by wire only (wireless is beta). Sorry for not showing it, Android phone was used to film this video haha, thank you.
