CarPlay / Android Auto Interface for Mercedes-Benz & Aston Martin NTG 5 / 5.1 / 5.2
Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, Camera and A/V interface compatible with select Mercedes Benz and Aston Martin vehicles equipped with the NTG5/5.1/5.2 system.
Vehicle system: Mercedes NTG5.0 / NTG5.1
NTG5.0 and NTG5.1 cover the 2014-2020 core of the range: C-Class W205, GLC X253, GLE and GLS, GLA, CLA, CLS, V-Class and the S-Class W222 with the 12.3-inch display. It is the platform where CarPlay was often fitted from the factory in one market and omitted in another, which is why so many of these cars arrive needing exactly this kit.
NTG5.0 and NTG5.1 use a round LVDS link and high-speed AUX-USB for audio. We decode CAN at the radio and inject video at the screen, so the factory menu, COMAND and cluster displays stay exactly as they were.
What stays exactly as it is
- COMAND controller, touchpad and steering-wheel buttons
- Factory Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming
- Instrument cluster audio, phone and navigation prompts
- Factory reverse camera and 360 view where fitted
- Factory microphone
- Factory radio, media interface and navigation
How it connects: CAN at the radio; round LVDS loop-through; AUX-USB high-speed audio. Nothing is flashed, nothing is coded, and the factory menu is never overwritten - CarPlay and Android Auto simply become an additional source the driver selects.
