W205 C43 in Polar white
So like the other 10,000+ posts on this - CarPlay. I had it on other cars, don't have it now but want it.

The car is a 2016 - 66 registration W205 which is believe can't have CarPlay added natively so only aftermarket options are available, failing that retrofitting a newer system with 5.5.

Current system is:
531 - Command APS NTG5/NGT5.5
810 - Premium Sound System (Burmester)

Options are:
1 - MMI box. Most cost effective option but i'm not a fan of the factory screen so would need to replace that as well
2 - Android unit. Oh boy, are different options brain melting. Is there a know reliable, well made make/model with stable UI?
3 - Spend all the money and retrofit a newer unit running NTG5.5 from a face lift model. I've done a few NBT EVO upgrades when i had a BMW, Mercedes infrastructure is completely new to me.

I'm looking for a solution with a OEM look and feel, preferably one where CarPlay auto starts.

Help me spend my money - Please :)
 
Option 1 is best. Go for Integrated automotive.

Option 2 is dreadful and will devalue your car with cheap Chinese junk.

Option 3 is horrendously costly. Cheaper to buy a different car!
