Nice write up! Appreciate you sharing your experience with the community!!! 😎🤙🏼

Bro…best infotainment system I’ve used to date.

Wow!!!!

Great to hear!

Bro. It’s the perfect size. 😎🤙🏼

I need friends. Cars are currently my friends

Yup. For sure. My wife uses the NTG interface more than I do and she wants it to look “normal” and this screen definitely does it.

Im dutch and i would like to say okay

Hahahahahhahaha. Oké

That sounds complicated . Sheesh. Now you got me doubting my abilities. 😁

Hi, were you able to solve those problems? I am thinking about buying one for myself. How does it feel like after using it a period of time? is it as smooth as the OEM system?

@@JC-dm6sk No, I wasn't. Got couple of system upgrades from the dealer, problem remains unresolved. Generally speaking, system integration with Android smartphone is very poorly implemented - in fact so poorly, it's best to assume it's just not working.

how do you deal with the mic? do you need to configure anything to use the built-in mercedes microphone?

Interesting. I skipped the microphone install too and it sounds like I’m talking down a hallway. I’m going back to install the microphone hoping it fixes that

@@beaucephus526 did it fix it?

Yeh. The screens settings need to be setup properly for your specific car. Most people think you physically install and it’s done but that’s not how it works.

I appreciate your comment but it’s the same comment from most of my viewers which is completely wrong because of your perspective. As a viewer, you buy cars for personal leisure. Your goal is not to make videos or help an audience. Your goal is mostly to buy the best car you can buy for yourself. So that might mean fully loaded so you don’t need to mod it. But then, you deal with massive depreciation when you sell it. You will lose money on your cars. Me, I’m not a viewer. I’m a KZfaqr. Cars are an asset to me and I don’t buy cars for my very own enjoyment. The cars that I heavily mod on KZfaq are not my personal ideal car for myself. It’s a business car. I buy base models cars that’s have gone through depreciation and since it’s a base, I get to do every mod possible on it. Mod videos that make me money for every mod I do. Mods that allow me to keep making content and growing my KZfaq channel and allows me to help the people who wants to customize their base model cars. I can’t do any of that with a fully loaded new car. It’s just like KZfaqrs who buy accident cars for cheap and spend a lot of time and thousands of dollars fixing it back to stock. From a viewer, it looks dumb cause they could of put all that money into buy a fully new car instead of fixing a totaled one. But fixing that totaled car and making tons of videos is what’s makes a crapload of money and it entertains people and grows their KZfaq. They’re not gonna get that by just buying a car that’s ready to drive with no repairs needed. If I dropped a lot of money and bought a fully loaded late model c63…that might make me happy, but it does zero for my KZfaq audience because showing you guys “look what I bought”…versus “here’s 50 mods you can do to this car” are completely different things. The R8 is different. It’s not really a KZfaq car. It’s one of my personal car. I barely make content on it because there’s not really an audience for it. I do some content knowing I won’t make any money on the videos. I do the content just cause like making videos. And it’s a way better option than buying a fully loaded Mercedes cause my R8 doesn’t depreciate. It actually went up in value. So yeah, it’s perspective and that’s why I don’t buy fully loaded cars for my KZfaq channel. I might actually make a video on this topic explaining this cause a lot of viewers always say the same thing as you and it makes me look dumb but in reality, I’m far from being dumb in my decisions. Hopefully it can inspire people to wanna convert their car into an asset instead of a liability.

Dude you don’t get it. The guy is a KZfaqr. He buys cars to make videos not for his use. It’s business.

I was waiting for someone to notice that. Lol. It’s just a red carbon fiber stick on cover. Looks pretty good. I plan on doing some red accents inside along with red seatbelts.

@@TheFlexxGarage Sounds sweet 😎 looking forward to the new updates!

Won’t regret it. I freakin love it!

Appreciate you for watching!

The best screen I’ve own to date! I just want to drive the Benz now just so I can use the screen. Hahahahahha.

What did you need to do to get it to work. I’m in the same boat.

It’s linked in the video description. You need to select the screen size and version for your car and it will show you the final price.

i have the same car what did you end up doing?

Hope it was from DMP cause if not, you’re gonna have a hard time setting it up to work properly cause no other company offers good step by step support if you have issues.

From the link you posted.

The FLEXX coupon worked too!!

Cool. If you have any questions, just reach to DMP cause after the install, things won’t work right until you setup the screen setting correctly.

This might be hypothetical. But i assume that it's because of the new microphone. It might be picking up whats coming from the speakers. Maybe don't use the new microphone.

Yes it works long term. And no, it’s not like a normal tablet where you spend hours a day on, downloading apps, downloading stuff, storing pics/files/videos constantly. That’s what leads to performance degradation. On a cars android screen, people don’t treat it like an everyday tablet.

You need to fix the setting. You can’t just install the screen and expect everything to work. These screens are designed to be setup to match the cars features. So you need to go into the settings and turn on/off specific settings to match your car and your cars features. The yellow cable is for an aftermarket add-on camera. I have an OEM cameras, that’s why I didn’t use the yellow cable.

That’s not the boot sound. That’s my dashcam turning on in the background. The screen makes no sound when it boots. And the boot logo can be customized. I already did another video on how to do that.

I clearly said the 2 white connectors plug into the back of the new screen. Go Watch the 2:49 mark again And I said the blue connector plugs to a connector that’s already on the car (it plugs into the original connector pulled off the oem screen). I never said the blue plugs into the back of the new screen. And go watch the 10:30 mark again.

Thanks, that helped and yeah the smaller white connector had gotten lost in the back when I had pulled the cords through

I believe it does. If you want to know 100%, contact DMP and ask them directly.

Not sure my man. I don’t have that issue. I recommend contact DMP and asking them.

I think the issue is, in fact, with BT connection. You have to connect with "MB Bluetooth" to be able to use OEM loudspeakers and microphone. On the other hand, you have to also connect to "FSC-Carkit" if you want to be able to operate your smartphone via carkit interface. The issue is, "FSC-Carkit" gets prioritized over "MB Bluetooth" so the calls are by default directed to the mini speaker, which gives you terrible audio quality. While making/receiving a call, you can switch the BT connection to "MB Bluetooth" on your phone, and you should be able to use OEM equipment for the calls AND use carkit's screen to operate the phone. The trouble is, I have no clue how to make the change permanently. You can also choose not to connect to "FSC-Carkit" at all, but only to "MB Bluetooth", which should work for OEM loudspeakers, but then you won't be able to operate your smartphone from the carkit's menu - it will say the phone is disconnected. At least that's what I have. And yes, that's a major inconvenience.

@@MrPrzemekPilot YES! This is the exact issue I also have. This really needs to be addressed in the software. Not to route call audio through the mini speaker but instead though the android media channel and use the car speakers?!

@@MrPrzemekPilot I use "Macdroid" and set an automation that everytime a call is active it will auto switch from the FSC-Carkit to the Merc BT. This fixes the issues with not being able to use the screen properly for calls.

Hi, were you able to solve those problems? I am thinking about buying one for myself. How does it feel like after using it a period of time? is it as smooth as the OEM system?

No

Need to select the correct settings

Mergi in seting si selected reverse can

mine shows the whole screen when I reverse. There's a secret menu in the android interface to make these changes. You will need to contact whoever who sold you the screen to get the passcode and ask where the menu is located. It's different for every screen and reseller of screens. If you bought from DMP, just message them and they'll help you setup the screen.

Thanks mate I appreciate you taking the time to reply and yes I’ll definitely go through DMP as I have before as you and I seem to buy the same cars, so thanks again for all that you do cheers from Australia mate

Thanks. Can’t. I already have an oem backup camera. Not gonna mess with something that’s not broken.

There’s different versions of this screen in the market. And a lot of people are buying from different resellers. Just note that the feedback in the comment section do not apply to all screens…only to the screen related to where the person bought it and which version. There’s crappy ones, good ones, old ones, new ones…and there’s alot of people who don’t know how to setup the screen properly and automatically assume something is wrong with the product but it’s user error. My new screen in this video works flawlessly and is super fast and was purchased from DMP car design and they were able to assist me in setting it up properly. Also comes with a warranty. Most resellers don’t offer that support and just wish you goodluck on your install. So yeah, don’t take all feedback and assume it’s the same for all screens cause all the screens aren’t the same (just because they look the same).

@@TheFlexxGarage Thanks for sharing it! I was just curious about the audio problem that a lot of people were talking about. So you never had that problem? the audio coming out from the small speaker?

Yes

Already tried. Wouldn’t fit 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'd like to know this too.

Thanks

Well Done Flexx I have the same question do we have use the speaker aned Mic?

1) it goes back to whatever screen you were last on. And it actually isn’t that slow. It’s pretty quick. 2) the only thing you can do is go into the secret menu and stretch the interface to cover the entire screen if you want to get rid of the speed gauge on the side. But then your interface is slightly stretched versus being true to the resolution dimensions. Feel free to ask DMP directly. There’s always updates and new screens available. They can answer any questions you have probably way better then I can.

The USB port on my car is not power only. It’s an Audio in. (Like an Aux). If you don’t use it, then you get no sound from the screen into the cars audio system.

@@TheFlexxGarage how does carplay sound work? on my current screen mod I have to switch to AUX to have driving instructions which is annoying, with this can I have Spotify playing over BT to OEM radio AND driving instructions through the provided speaker from the wireless carplay? Can i also screen cast from my phone AND have the audio playing over BT (like say on YT app)? This feature alone would make me wanna upgrade from my current setup..

I would like to know as well

I have basically the same screen here in the UK and the buttons work to answer and cancel calls.

@@nickclarke2444 Thank you man ❤

You don’t get a camera with the screen. I already showed in the video that the screen supports the oem camera or any aftermarket installed camera.

Am I the only one that noticed that they’re 2 different cars ?

No. You’re the only one cause it’s the same and only 2016 C300 I’ve had on my channel and It’s the only one car I drive everyday. If you follow every mod in order, you would too notice it’s the same car.

The stock ambient system is controlled using a setting on the oem interface. The new screen has access to both the old oem interface and the new android interface.

Hi, were you able to solve those problems? I am thinking about buying one for myself. How does it feel like after using it a period of time? is it as smooth as the OEM system?

The extra mic is just for extra voice pickup. It’s not required. The stock mic will still work. The oem gps can still be used but only in the OEM intereface on the new screen. It won’t work in the Android interface.

It was tough for me too. Don’t really have any tips.

Connect your phone to OEM bluetooth

@@snusnu8937 but no sound on CarPlay

No. As mentioned in the video, in the oem interface, everything works normal. In android interface, sound will still come through your system but you will have to use the android interface equalizer to adjust your sound quality.

Yes there’s a glare but it has never bothered me. The sun never really hits the screen that often. I set it to auto mode so during the day, the screen pumps up the brightness and then at night, it drops to like 50%.

Sounds like you didn’t configure your screens setting right. Mine works fine.
