Silent follower here. You should keep documenting all your installs at this level of detail. That's actual and good quality enthusiast content, good job.

Love how the android skin emulates MBUX, it fits really well and looks pretty OEM.

[@willemvandermerwe7936]

Just love this new upgrade Mike. Especially since we'll now be able to see everything in km/h. Great job and stunning upgrade

[@PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Impressive!! I have taught you well young grasshopper LOL

[@techbio]

Mike awesome to see you getting pleasure out of doing your own work, it's a hugely satisfying feeling doing work on your own pride and joy. Been interesting seeing you start playing around with the hoopty and the ranger, and now getting up the courage to play with the merc as well. Great stuff!

[@Mint2842]

Great job Mike!! That looks like 2020 OEM MB!

[@user-td1xj3mx2o]

It's amazing 👏 Well done I suggest to change the interior trim with carbon fibre look to match the steering wheel 👌👌

Bang on! This is the kind of content AV needs. Continue this, please 🙏

Allways satisfying when you do stuff like this even though you are not that experienced and everything just works. Good job Mike!

[@FVCK-]

I had my 2014 C63 serviced last week at the dealer and the loaner they gave me was a 2020 model. This screen looks pretty much identical to the new style. Of course with the OEM you have both android and Apple car play already installed and ready to go.

[@berniecruz8405]

MIKE!!! WOOHOO!!! You finally got an Android Screen!! Been telling you to get this for a few years now!! About time!! :D

This really is a cool update! I love those things! Done those things myself too in severall former cars of me. Like making a 2-DIN in my Audi A2, a 2-DIN in a 2003 Ford Ka, satnav system in a 2015 ford Fiesta. Doing some electronic updates on your car is cool

Hi, I’m thinking about buying from CKM, how’s the sound quality? Any cons with this unit?

[@renaldolangenhoven7418]

Does not matter if you are experienced..if it is your own car you learn to do it..i did although i would not mess with such type of cars when i started to learn everything i know today..everybody has to start somewhere and the feeling after you have done this and everything is working is the best feeling..good job mike..when is the wheels coming for the c63?

[@joshua6200]

You actually doing "car" stuff!! Amazing!!!! :)

[@alejandrocano6654]

Great video man, now that’s what I call a gadget that is worth having , awesome detail on the instal, thanks

[@berniecruz8405]

Now what you need to do Mike is get the Android auto/Apple Carplay adapter installed along with changing out your cigarette lighter with USB ports!! Then all you'll have to do is just plug your phone directly into your USB port where the cigarette lighter use to be and you'll have Apple Carplay at your finger tips!! This is what I did to my car. And what you can do is run the usb connections 1 to the back of your screen under the dashboard where the Apple Carplay will plug into and the other USB connection through your center console to your armrest compartment and plug that directly in to your usb port in the armrest compartment. And at the same time run your aux cable to your armrest compartment, buy a noise cancellor, plug your AUX into it and the noise cancellor in to your Aux port! Then when you switch over to the Android function on the screen, you'll be able to listen from the Android screen (i.e. youtube music, etc..) when driving and you won't get the noise feedback because of the noise cancellor! So when I plug my usb cable from my phone to the top of 1 of my usb ports, I get Android Auto/Apple Carplay + phone charging and when I plug my phone into the bottom USB port, I get phone charging only. My setup is so universal that i have so many options at the tip of my fingers that I can use my command unit from the car, go on the internet whenever I want. Use Google Maps for Nav or Waze for Nav or even still use my command unit for Nav! OH and also you should get the VIM cable harness too!! This cable harness allows you to enter destination on your command unit Nav while driving! This cable harness can be used with the cable harness that you installed for your Android screen, together! I've done all these things with my W204! NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER!! :D Hit me up on Instagram if you want to know where to get those other items! OH! ALSO... one more thing!! If you want to be able to use your car's factory antenna on the roof of your car, there's a company you can reach out to to have them make a custom split cable where your command unit AND Android screen can use the same antenna together, as well! Then you won't have to use the generic antennas that came with the screen!!

Would be interesting to see if it can be installed into an Aussie HSV??🤔

[@vithursan.b]

Was expecting that the headunit was going to fit into the housing, im not a fan of the tablet looking infotainement.. but its a nice upgrade from the outdated W204 headunit

[@jgripen969]

Agree, it looks like the W205 =/ Nice to have the tech upgrade though.

[@6thSense93]

Yeah 205 style hu's are not my cup of tea. The MB engineers were like, ahh beautiful interior.. oh wait, we forgot to add a screen! Not to worry, not to worry we will just slap a tablet somewhere.

[@RyanV78665]

there is one that is smaller that fits in the dash I've seen.

[@jackdavis2197]

“Outdated”

[@AndreA-ke2id]

@Vithursan B. Me too. And I think touch screen systems are dangerous, if you gotta change something on the move.

[@joea1746]

It's an amazing screen. I installed the Android 10.5 on my 2016 E400 and love it! Has so many features and works easily with the OEM setup. You can switch to the OEM screen and works perfectly. Amazing product! 👍

[@CKMCardesign]

Happy it worked out so well. Good job man.

[@fergusyoung6782]

Nice upgrade, I just wish the screen was set back into the dash like the old one instead of sticking out hanging off the dash board like that. I suppose it’s not any worse than the newer c classes though anyway

I’m thinking about installing this in my 2013 C250, how’s the sound quality on it? Have you had any issues with it?

[@johnnys4745]

Alberto Magallanes Jr you have to make sure you go on the AUX setting on the original screen for the volume to work 100% and also of anything my speakers sound louder

This is very good improvment to this car and especially to have some apps on this android screen that really amazing. That looks not easy to install all this. Also to remove all those panels and play around with this new cable harness but eventually that looks really worth to do so and car interior looks more fresh after this work!
