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
