The unit works wonderfully, HOWEVER!!!! It is very important not to follow exactly the instructions from the VIDEO first, which instructs you to disassemble the unit and THEN follow the steps for configuring the car's OEM video and Aux and GTA Carplay setup. The instructions packaged with the unit CLEARLY indicates that the steps should be reversed, and the system setup instructions followed prior to disassembly (VERY IMPORTANT). As difficult as it is to push the wires back far enough with room for the head unit and AC controller, I had to dissemble the entire unit and start all over. Trust me, this was a ROYAL Pain in every part of my body and mind!!! GTA, while the video instructions are very helpful as far as showing how and where everything should go, it would be most helpful to make sure that the ORDER to follow them was accurate and precise. Other than that, the unit works wonderfully!

Do you have to press and hold the back button every time you start the car to get the car play working or is that just a first time setup? Will it automatically go to car play if you were on it last?

Just installed this successfully. You have to follow the instructions come with the paper. U need to make sure car can have sound before you install the kit. I have to did it twice because I ignored the paper instructions. Very good product. Would recommend.

Hi! I absolutely love my CarPlay that I bought over a year ago. So on the original screen the 360° camera will go on in reverse then go off once you hit 18 mph in drive but when I’m CarPlay it goes off immediately when shifted to drive is there a way to change this? If not it’s not a big deal I was just curious

Have a 2015 Mercedes Benz ML 350. Completed the installation instructions but I no longer have XM Satellite radio on the original radio options. Is there an engineering mode setting that will allow that function to resume?

@babajao 8 ай бұрын

Co sidering that you made changes only to the Aux audio settings and get sound from carplay, you should be able to get sound from Satellite radio. Check to Engineering Mode again to se if you inadvertently disabled Satellite Radio. Once you are getting sound from Carplay every other mode should be ok.

Just installed the system in my 2015. GL63 and will definitely buy another for my GL450. One question, How do you get the Mercedes logo instead of Home in CarPlay?

@babajao 8 ай бұрын

You'll have to change the automatic connection then mercedes logo will appear every time you first turn on the radio

Does this works for japanese version of the car … I remember I went for some setting in the engineering mode it had crashed the module … so the question is I hope the setting you did in engineering module won’t break anything?? Pls confirm … last time when it crashed was we changed the region from Japanese to USA ..just fyi!

@babajao 8 ай бұрын

That's correct. I didn't use Aux because it wouldn't work for me. My Carplay retrofit module has a 3.5mm audio out so I instead connected a Bluetooth transmitter and it works perfectly. Instead of selecting Aux, I select Bluetooth audio
