I've spoken to comandonline.co.uk who tell me that my late 2015 S212 *can* be upgraded to CarPlay/Android as it appears to have Comand 5*1 (or is it 5.1?), albeit controlled via the wheel rather than touch screen. That would certainly explain why the usual key combination won't bring up engineering mode. However, it's £199 for the upgrade kit alone and needs to be dealer installed (or by someone with access to Xentry). I would also like to install a reversing camera, so it would probably make sense to do both at the same time. Pulls from other W212/SD212 seem to go for up to £100 on eBay.
My question is: is this worth doing and is the official Merc kit route above the way to go? Or would I be better getting a third party solution with a larger [touch] screen?
Oh, and is there any way of getting my screen to display the perimiter of the car when parking like I've seen on newer models, rather than the front/rear parking sensor displays?
Many thanks for any advice!
