BIGGEST Android Screen install on C300 (W205) 2015+ Mercedes C-Class

[@MuPi262]

Flexx, thank you for this video. I purchased this MASSIVE touchscreen from DMP and installed it in my '16 C300. I had this video playing on my iPad as I successfully completed the install. I LOVE THE NEWLY ADDED FUNCTIONALITY! Sadly, Mercedes termination of 3G meant that much of the COMAND system became useless. This new screen replaces the OEM Mercedes apps with easily updatable Android/iPhone apps. I love when people in SUVs are behind me at night at a traffic light. It's awesome to see their jaws drop if I switch from Google Maps to Spotify to Google Podcasts to iHeart Radio and so on. The new processor is almost as fast as the one in my also brand-new OnePlus 11 5G! Functionally and aesthetically it is PERFECT! The last time that I opened up a dash was to install a Blaupunkt head unit in a 1994 Saturn. This video gave me the confidence of knowing that I could install it myself! Thanks Flexx! Keep up the good...nah...GREAT WORK! Arnel in Pittsburgh

Wow!!!!

[@jamalshirazi7115]

Thankyou so much flex , I've just fitted the large screen to my c class in the UK and your video was invaluable..keep up the good work

The Orange cables Connection with the black connector is key to have sound. Very good job Flexx you resolve my problem that I have since 4 days. I appreciate your clear and detail video . Bonjour from Lyon France Flexx

I installed the 12" on my 2019 GLC 300. Here are the pros of cons: Pros: - Large screen display transforms the interior of the car to look modern. - Audio works on music app, video app, android auto, KZbin etc. from the screen without installing the extra mic and speaker that came in the box (but audio has 3 sec delay). Voice command from screen maps app also works including navigation directions. Cons: - The phone audio does not work. DMP said I have to install the speaker and mic that came in the box, which does not look good on the car. I have to connect the Bluetooth of my phone to the factory MBUX instead for phone calls audio to work. - Using the audio-USB delays the sound from the screen by 3 seconds, so you can't actually watch a movies on the screen when the picture is 3 seconds ahead of the audio. Another screen vendor has coded similar android screen unit to work with aux directly, instead of using the audio-USB. I think this a major issue that needs to be addressed. Anyone know how to fix the 3 seconds audio delay when using the audio-USB cable? - After adjusting the android screen setting to always automatically connect to WiFi, it does not work. You have to always go into the android setting and turn on the WiFi manually every time you enter your car. This is annoying. Connecting your phone Bluetooth to the screen also disables the Wi-Fi. Is there at least a way to have the unit share internet via Bluetooth work? - The factory screen options will still show but you can only use the scroll to navigate those options (not touch screen). This is not a big deal. ** The unit came with a 4G antenna? Some ppl call it a Wi-Fi antenna. Can I remove this antenna if I'm not using 4G or do I still need it for Wi-Fi?

[@empirical77]

I ordered mine and it arrived last weeks, having it installed by a pro in a couple of days!

Installed the same one on my C350e, absolutely love it. CarPlay works great. I got a SIM card for it with data only and it’s really good. The Chinese android tablet head units have come a long way

[@sf3567]

Nice video. Just installed the exact same size on my W205. My friends said it's too large in proportion. But my principal is, Go Big or Go Home. Or Stay Calm and follow whatever mods Flexx is on and you won't go wrong. Lol.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Bro. It’s the perfect size. 😎🤙🏼

[@Jump3r720]

Installed in my C63 w205. Install went smooth enough. Do suggest not pulling down the vents to make more space took long time to get them in again, there is enough room without releasing them to route cables. Screen works as expected, all good. Only thing I don't like is the brightness during sunny days, but cloudy or night its fine.

[@Fattallbaldybloke]

Very good detailed video and this will indeed fit the GLC too as I have a very similar one in my car, but this unit has clearer images on the NTG and reverse camera functions. Great work 👍

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Yup. For sure. My wife uses the NTG interface more than I do and she wants it to look “normal” and this screen definitely does it.

[@jamesdonnelly7768]

Really well done video Flexx. As expected the product is really nice.

[@MrPrzemekPilot]

The video is very helpful, I managed to install the kit by myself. The thing is, you have to be careful with cables routing, as the amount of space is very limited and I had to make several corrections to have everything properly fit back in place. What I don't like about the set is that you have to choose both bluetooth connections for the carkit and OEM BT to be able to use OEM loudspeakers for calls AND be able to operate the phone via carkit's menu - the issue is then, carkit's BT connection gets prioritized over MB bluetooth, so calls are, by default, directed to the little crappy speaker and every single time you have to manually change BT connection on your phone to MB BT. Annoying. I don't know if it's possible to permanently change priority to have the calls operated by OEM bluetooth. 13:29 - those little covers are so incredibly tightly fit, it's impossible to open them with a finger. There's so little space around, I actually managed to scratch the surrounding area and break my mini screwdriver in order to open those bloody things. The heads of those mounting screws (13:42) are too big in diameter, so when I finally mounted the unit and closed those covers, those little plastic hinges keeping them in place broke instantly. 14:02 - good luck with re-inserting air conditioning tunnel. I spent about an hour getting the damn thing back in place and managed to do it somewhat by accident. Again, you have to be really careful and precise with how you route the cables, otherwise you won't be able to snap it back into place.

[@BassGods]

That sounds complicated . Sheesh. Now you got me doubting my abilities. 😁

[@JC-dm6sk]

Hi, were you able to solve those problems? I am thinking about buying one for myself. How does it feel like after using it a period of time? is it as smooth as the OEM system?

[@MrPrzemekPilot]

@@JC-dm6sk No, I wasn't. Got couple of system upgrades from the dealer, problem remains unresolved. Generally speaking, system integration with Android smartphone is very poorly implemented - in fact so poorly, it's best to assume it's just not working.

[@addicuspenn9742]

Installed the new 12.3" Android 13 (Amazon - Ninetom Seller/Brand ~$509) my W205 2017 c300 today. I skipped the extra Mic, Speaker, Wifi, and Gps part since I will mainly be using the built-in Carplay features with my iPhone 12. Total installation time: ~ 4 hours ( 2 hours yesterday - completely forgot to plug in audio box into the center console/armrest area and the second white (left) main smaller connector which grants access to the old OEM interface and backup camera. 2 hours today - going back in to correct the previous mentioned and cleaning up wires) The most annoying part of the install was routing the wires through the back of the center console, behind the vent. Unfortunately, my vent was weird and when I clipped it down like in the video at 8:35 it didn't want to snap back in place on both sides so it's only snapped up on the right, but it should hold. Used electrical tape to keep the wires together and neat. One tip of advice, which isn't shown in the video well due to the editing, but transfer the two Torx20 screws from the previous bracket to the new one BEFORE putting it in place below the dash. The bracket has clips to keep these screws in place from jumping around. Don't try and lower the screws from the top of the dash into the new bracket - you most likely will lose one. In case you did: N000000000530 is the part #, the sizing is roughly M4 X 25MM. The screw can be found via Ebay etc. Lastly, when setting up my Carplay, I had to go into the OEM audio section and select "AUX" instead of Bluetooth because it was changing back to the Mercedes BT every 2 minutes when in Carplay. I also went into the "Factory" settings section (password: 190627 - most will have this) and select "Manual" instead of "Automatic" under the [Vehicle] Tab - subsection [Audio]. Now I can use Carplay without it going mute/pausing every 2 minutes and when I use my charging cable it auto connects to Carplay as well. Local Best Buy did not want to install the device and so with the help of Flexx's tutorial and some extra research to correct a few user mistakes, this upgrade is now complete! Good luck and have fun - its well worth it!

Just saying, if you had saved all the money you put into these cars, you could have had one regular all these years so you could just lease or even finance, say, a 2020 c class, and it would come with all the things you did to them in the past, not criticizing here, just saying that saving is worth it in the long term. The R8 is a very good investment i think, for example. Keep up the work ethic my guy and great tutorial👏🏼👏🏼

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I appreciate your comment but it’s the same comment from most of my viewers which is completely wrong because of your perspective. As a viewer, you buy cars for personal leisure. Your goal is not to make videos or help an audience. Your goal is mostly to buy the best car you can buy for yourself. So that might mean fully loaded so you don’t need to mod it. But then, you deal with massive depreciation when you sell it. You will lose money on your cars. Me, I’m not a viewer. I’m a KZbinr. Cars are an asset to me and I don’t buy cars for my very own enjoyment. The cars that I heavily mod on KZbin are not my personal ideal car for myself. It’s a business car. I buy base models cars that’s have gone through depreciation and since it’s a base, I get to do every mod possible on it. Mod videos that make me money for every mod I do. Mods that allow me to keep making content and growing my KZbin channel and allows me to help the people who wants to customize their base model cars. I can’t do any of that with a fully loaded new car. It’s just like KZbinrs who buy accident cars for cheap and spend a lot of time and thousands of dollars fixing it back to stock. From a viewer, it looks dumb cause they could of put all that money into buy a fully new car instead of fixing a totaled one. But fixing that totaled car and making tons of videos is what’s makes a crapload of money and it entertains people and grows their KZbin. They’re not gonna get that by just buying a car that’s ready to drive with no repairs needed. If I dropped a lot of money and bought a fully loaded late model c63…that might make me happy, but it does zero for my KZbin audience because showing you guys “look what I bought”…versus “here’s 50 mods you can do to this car” are completely different things. The R8 is different. It’s not really a KZbin car. It’s one of my personal car. I barely make content on it because there’s not really an audience for it. I do some content knowing I won’t make any money on the videos. I do the content just cause like making videos. And it’s a way better option than buying a fully loaded Mercedes cause my R8 doesn’t depreciate. It actually went up in value. So yeah, it’s perspective and that’s why I don’t buy fully loaded cars for my KZbin channel. I might actually make a video on this topic explaining this cause a lot of viewers always say the same thing as you and it makes me look dumb but in reality, I’m far from being dumb in my decisions. Hopefully it can inspire people to wanna convert their car into an asset instead of a liability.

Dude you don’t get it. The guy is a KZbinr. He buys cars to make videos not for his use. It’s business.

This is awesome Flexx. I was looking at this kit but wondering how it looks and how to install it. I have a few questions please. I have a 2017 C43. Is it correct that the steering wheel controls won’t work for up down track skipping, but the volume buttons will work? And is there any dependency with the USB ports?

[@windowsdan1]

I have just installed this screen from DMP and I wired the speaker as you did but now all call audio runs through the little speaker and call audio is terrible. ... But if I disconnect the speaker and connect the speaker in and out cables on the wiring harness back as they were from the box, then there is no audio from phone calls?? ... So do I just either get terrible phone call audio or none and have to use the car bluetooth? Seems silly that one of the major uses of a car screen doesn't work properly.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Not sure my man. I don’t have that issue. I recommend contact DMP and asking them.

[@MrPrzemekPilot]

I think the issue is, in fact, with BT connection. You have to connect with "MB Bluetooth" to be able to use OEM loudspeakers and microphone. On the other hand, you have to also connect to "FSC-Carkit" if you want to be able to operate your smartphone via carkit interface. The issue is, "FSC-Carkit" gets prioritized over "MB Bluetooth" so the calls are by default directed to the mini speaker, which gives you terrible audio quality. While making/receiving a call, you can switch the BT connection to "MB Bluetooth" on your phone, and you should be able to use OEM equipment for the calls AND use carkit's screen to operate the phone. The trouble is, I have no clue how to make the change permanently. You can also choose not to connect to "FSC-Carkit" at all, but only to "MB Bluetooth", which should work for OEM loudspeakers, but then you won't be able to operate your smartphone from the carkit's menu - it will say the phone is disconnected. At least that's what I have. And yes, that's a major inconvenience.

[@windowsdan1]

@@MrPrzemekPilot YES! This is the exact issue I also have. This really needs to be addressed in the software. Not to route call audio through the mini speaker but instead though the android media channel and use the car speakers?!

[@windowsdan1]

@@MrPrzemekPilot I use "Macdroid" and set an automation that everytime a call is active it will auto switch from the FSC-Carkit to the Merc BT. This fixes the issues with not being able to use the screen properly for calls.

Yes it works long term. And no, it’s not like a normal tablet where you spend hours a day on, downloading apps, downloading stuff, storing pics/files/videos constantly. That’s what leads to performance degradation. On a cars android screen, people don’t treat it like an everyday tablet.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

There’s different versions of this screen in the market. And a lot of people are buying from different resellers. Just note that the feedback in the comment section do not apply to all screens…only to the screen related to where the person bought it and which version. There’s crappy ones, good ones, old ones, new ones…and there’s alot of people who don’t know how to setup the screen properly and automatically assume something is wrong with the product but it’s user error. My new screen in this video works flawlessly and is super fast and was purchased from DMP car design and they were able to assist me in setting it up properly. Also comes with a warranty. Most resellers don’t offer that support and just wish you goodluck on your install. So yeah, don’t take all feedback and assume it’s the same for all screens cause all the screens aren’t the same (just because they look the same).

Hey Flexx! Love the mod, just got a 2017 C300 4MATIC with the NTG5.0 and Audio 20 package. I do not even have navigation on the car, and I highly value CarPlay. Just wanted to ask: as you've used the new head unit over time, has there been much latency? I noticed it took toward the longer side showing the backup camera in reverse. I also want to know if a.) after you go into reverse, does head unit bring you back to NTG or does it go back to CarPlay? (Assuming you were in CarPlay before R-gear) and b.) if I can change the digital speedometer to something else. I don't like giving my passengers a window into the absurdity of my er-- less orthodox driving habits. Thanks!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

1) it goes back to whatever screen you were last on. And it actually isn’t that slow. It’s pretty quick. 2) the only thing you can do is go into the secret menu and stretch the interface to cover the entire screen if you want to get rid of the speed gauge on the side. But then your interface is slightly stretched versus being true to the resolution dimensions. Feel free to ask DMP directly. There’s always updates and new screens available. They can answer any questions you have probably way better then I can.

Sometimes it connects sometimes it does not. I’ve seen the blue light on and off. Do you think DMP can provide a replacement ? Have you heard such a thing?

[@57RollsRoycePhantom]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nikolayyankov5872]

It’s interesting for me if the head up display will work after that?

[@steeeeeven11]

Great video, have you noticed the audio lag when connecting wireless carplay?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

No

[@gsessons]

When I use the EQ app that the screen comes with. It does not make any changes. Do I have to switch a setting to your the built in EQ app

[@KenKuninmusic]

With the aftermarket screen, do you get the 360 camera that comes with the original system? I have a 2014 E 400 coupe. Crazy about the car, just not the infotainment system. Someone told me that with the aftermarket infotainment systems, you lose the cameras functionality that comes with the car.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

You don’t get a camera with the screen. I already showed in the video that the screen supports the oem camera or any aftermarket installed camera.

[@miist3rp1974]

is the speaker and microphone needed? I've watched some videos and they don't install/mention them

[@TheFlexxGarage]

No

[@jornposthumus9187]

Thanks to your installation video i installed my screen. Everything works really well except the original rear camera. It says no signal. Please help. 🙏🏻

[@TheFlexxGarage]

You need to fix your setting. Contact DMP.

[@OptionAir-ff7xj]

After pulling out the radio set, I found no 2 red wire, the radio settllite connection.What should I do next.

[@canyoudo1t]

Appreciate this!!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Appreciate you for watching!

[@luisvpr]

Ordered one after watching this video. Let's see how it goes with the shipping and install ;-) 2016 C300 Designo Package

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Hope it was from DMP cause if not, you’re gonna have a hard time setting it up to work properly cause no other company offers good step by step support if you have issues.

[@luisvpr]

From the link you posted.

[@luisvpr]

The FLEXX coupon worked too!!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Cool. If you have any questions, just reach to DMP cause after the install, things won’t work right until you setup the screen setting correctly.

[@anthonylawson8560]

Nvm I figured it all out! Thanks the videos Flexx 😎

[@sixmarch]

What did you need to do to get it to work. I’m in the same boat.

[@chrisgreen9806]

Do you have to instal the gps receiver, car already has it via the old oem. ? Does it not transfer when installing the screen?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

The android interface on the screen uses the aftermarket gps receiver in order to use gooogle maps or another map app. The oem interface on the screen uses the oem gps receiver built into the car in order to use the OEM navigation.

[@fcbarcelona4eva]

Hi Flex, Hope you are well. Just a quick question. I installed this screen on my W204 but forgot to install the additional microphone. Would i need to open the entire radio unit or can i just remove the screen bracket on top and pluf the cable in ? I got this done as a garage using your video. Thanks for your support :)

[@adamfrancischiello]

Def need this!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

The best screen I’ve own to date! I just want to drive the Benz now just so I can use the screen. Hahahahahha.

[@thurmantariq]

With the GPS and Mic do you have to set them up?? Or can I just use the OEM GPS and Mic with new screen??

[@TheFlexxGarage]

The extra mic is just for extra voice pickup. It’s not required. The stock mic will still work. The oem gps can still be used but only in the OEM intereface on the new screen. It won’t work in the Android interface.

[@jonahm.3007]

I bought and installed the 12.3” Android screen for the W205 back in April, and it looks and functions almost exactly like this. Surely such a minuscule difference from the one I have would be available as an update rather than having to drop another $630?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

You might be able to get some updates but there were hardware improvements that are physical changes.

[@InsaneComboCOM]

It's so hard to see the screws in the slot to attach the display! Spent more than 30 min just to screw back the display. Any tips?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

It was tough for me too. Don’t really have any tips.

[@KWCapital-im4fc]

I found no 2 radio satellite connection at the back of radio after pulling it out. How I am going to do. Can I just ignore those 2 red satellite connections and skip that step

[@Snoopy4156]

Hey flex every time I go into Apple CarPlay it switches over to radio won’t use MB Bluetooth I have to go back switch it and stay in the screen menus any ideas ??

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Don’t know. Sounds like a settings issue. Or your screen needs a firmware update.

[@Snoopy4156]

@@TheFlexxGarage also do you know how to fix the oem resolution when it’s halfed I can’t see some of my functions

[@Mr.JuniTo]

Snoopy, I'm having the same issue. Have you found a solution for it? My backup camera only comes on for 1 second, then goes away, turning to a blank dedault sensor android backup view without video. Any idea? NTG 5.0

[@merouanedz2212]

I really really liked The only thing bad thing is not boot logo and I don’t like the boot sound either

[@TheFlexxGarage]

That’s not the boot sound. That’s my dashcam turning on in the background. The screen makes no sound when it boots. And the boot logo can be customized. I already did another video on how to do that.

[@samnasir6599]

Great video, thanks to you i was able to install mine, however after 2 months now my reserving camera doesn’t work and the dashboard, anyone know of this issue and how to resolve it?

[@yragus]

Hi, nice video. One question : how do you get the split view when putting Reward mode (R). My view get is wide and it's very ugly.

[@brichiejdj]

great video! just ordered one because of how detailed you were and how easy it looks to install. thank you! I am in New York so we get 4G on Verizon, is it as simple as just getting a 4g SIM card from them with a data plan and popping it in?

[@blueivantv]

Am I the only one that noticed that they’re 2 different cars ?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

No. You’re the only one cause it’s the same and only 2016 C300 I’ve had on my channel and It’s the only one car I drive everyday. If you follow every mod in order, you would too notice it’s the same car.

[@donalain69]

Just opened the center speaker cover in my second hand C350e.. And realized there is no speaker inside. Is it normal for that model to have an empty speaker soket? Also.. There is no satelite radio cable where it should be..

[@BloodyCivilianKhan]

Is the reflection/glare really noticeable during the day?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Yes there’s a glare but it has never bothered me. The sun never really hits the screen that often. I set it to auto mode so during the day, the screen pumps up the brightness and then at night, it drops to like 50%.

[@joea1746]

Again awesome video Flexx. Can I install this 12.3 Android touch screen without using the speaker and mic it brings? Use only the vehicle's speaker and mic like I did with the 10.5 version 11 Android Screen? Thanks

[@mbautodetail3370]

Well Done Flexx I have the same question do we have use the speaker aned Mic?

[@ashv_r]

Hi Flexx. Great video and install. Can you please tell me if it’s possible to run the NTG menu full screen without having the split screen with speedo on the side? Thanks!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

You can but it’s in a hidden menu. The screen view is gonna look stretch though cause the oem NTG aspect is not designed for a wide screen. If you wanna do it, you need to contact whoever sold you your screen on a walk-thru along with the password to your screen to enter the hidden menu.

[@goedd01]

Hi Flex, can i update my Mercedes 10,25" for w205 2017 with android 10 to android 11. And so where can i find the software.

[@ninobrn00]

Any issues going from Park to Drive and the front camera switching on? Also, do the touchpad functions all work? I have a unit installed and have both of those issues so I’m considering upgrading to this one in my GLC 43 AMG.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Sounds like you didn’t configure your screens setting right. Mine works fine.

[@didar389]

What a great video

[@kingjay2287]

Hello Flex, do I have to install the microphone and speaker? I don’t like the way it looks out of place. Please advise.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

No but I would install the speaker (since it’s hidden anyway.). The mic is just for extra voice pick up. It’s not required but helps with phone calls and voice commands.

[@b1lngamg]

appreciate the help with your tutorials. I’m stuck on how to play videos/movies on the 12.3 screen. I know the 10in was through a usb but I can’t find any info on this screen.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

It’s the same exact process. The only different between the screens are the size. All the software is the same.
