In this video, I show you how I install a large android screen on the 2016 Mercedes-Benz C300 W205 project car. This should be the same process for a C300, C45, C63 and I think GLC.

I ordered the unit from DMP after watching your installation video. The unit arrived last Friday and I installed it on Saturday. Everything is up and running, including Apple CarPlay. Thanks very much for your great video and the prompt tech support from Steven of DMP. Cheers.

Quick question as I can't seem to see you cover it in the video, what do you do with the other two USB cables in the arm rest storage area? Loving your videos mate, already looking to get the puddle lights and upgrade the ambient lighting and your vids make it so clear on what to do and where to buy from. Stay safe!

Hey Flexx, thanks for the video! A few comments. 1. Can this unit allow multipoint Bluetooth so i can receive calls from either phone? 2. When running the GPS lead across the pillar it should be run under the pillar airbag so it does not interfere if it is deployed. 3. Any plans to fit a 360degree bird view camera (utilising factory reverse cam) Keep up the great work.

Depends. If you are using the OEM interface on the screen, all buttons on your car works like normal. When you are using the Android interface on the screen, only the volume control on the steering wheel works. Go watch my review video on the screen. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJt_hs2i377Ud6c.html

At 13:16. Flexx, DMP just confirmed via chat that it's not the wifi receiver but the 4G antenna. So it should better not be in the footwell for optimized reception even if they said that they usually put it in the glove box. ;-) That is , if you use the monitor with a mobile SIM-card, of course. Interestingly you can find this "mistake" in every KZfaq install video. Otherwise it's a great video. I'm planning on using it for he install in my GT.
