W204 C-Class 08-11 ANDROID HEAD UNIT OEM STYLE COMAND Tesla Install DIY Part 1 Prefacelift C300 Pt.2

Hello everyone! Today I am going to show you the second part of installing a brand new head unit in a Mercedes C300. It provides a very integrated and oem look, similar to the Comand unit, while really updating the interior of your car!

This guy just made my life so much easier 🎉

[@cristiandadon3599]

Update: I installed it everything working fine.. I will say feed the main wires to the left side.. Keep the USB on right side.. It will be easier to put inside. Also make sure your wires are secure and connected!

[@emilioeduardogonzalezhuchi5178]

Hello, good afternoon, how do you put the audio from the screen to the car stereo?

[@ProjectAuto]

Ensure battery is unplugged when installing and you transfer the orange fiber optic cable to the new clip so that all your speakers will work Radio from: elementotuning.com

Hello, i have did what you said, but sounds come from ntg4 radio not the android

[@bounties2101]

@@halamsterdam Same Here. Audio come from ntg4 radio. Any Idea?

[@halamsterdam]

@@bounties2101 i have connected with aux cable. Aux cable from mercedes to Android and choose in your original screen the aux output. Now its working

[@bounties2101]

@@halamsterdam OH WoW. I thought into the same direction lately. Gosh, what an effort for audio to work. I will give it try :D

[@bounties2101]

OK AUX Port works. Nevertheless, are you aware of some way to choose AUX over the steering, or the OEM Stereo unit? When pressing Radio, by mistake, on the OEM Stereo Unit the audio stream switches without return to AUX.

[@ryanmason4733]

Could you do another video explaining/ showing how to do the steering wheel controls?

[@nickmick1098]

@@honkeykillaAK47 Hi, how did you solve the sound issue as I have the same problem

[@nickmick1098]

Get an aux cable and connect to aux car, make sure you set up the old head unit on aux before removing.

[@lukaslexa373]

Did you guys fixed the steering wheel controls?

[@nickdonaldson2710]

My CarPlay and Bluetooth has no sound but the radio comes on immediately and stays on……

[@waqaradurrani]

I just finished mine and it works good, just my heated seat and rear shade controls aren’t working? did you have that issue?

[@emilioeduardogonzalezhuchi5178]

Hi, how are you? A question how to configure so that the stereo outputs the sound and can be heard?

[@PeterChukwudi-nz3jp]

What is the can bus protocol for this car because the steering control is not working

[@DAR00DV]

Does anyone have less volume on this??? like the original was louder than this one

[@Obie79]

Hello, I did the installation and everything works but I have no sounds, what Am I missing?

[@honkeykillaAK47]

Same with me

[@nickmick1098]

Hi, how did you fix the sound?

[@Obie79]

1. You should have an aux input in your glove department, 2. you need to get an aux wire that has the red/white wire. 3. Plug the aux head into the aux input then run the other two male wires red/white to your W204 radio and use the female red/white wire. 4. After plugging all your wires go to settings in your W204 and turn the aux ON, sometimes it does it automatically, but check first. And hopefully you should get sound.

[@patrickswords]

@@Obie79 what if I dont have aux in my w204

[@henrysmith625]

Can you leave your original radio out? Or does it have to be plugged in

[@ricardovicente8819]

Hey man how u doing? One question… I conected everything right and the display works fine but the main console with the all the buttons even when I turn off the car and take out the key, is still working like reseting all the time. Any help?? Thanks a lot by the tips and the videos.

[@cristiandadon3599]

Got the sound to work… Make sure all the wires are tightly fit. Still tryna figure out how to put disc player back in too much wires in the back

[@waqaradurrani]

i had that problem with figment too, eventually got it but had to force it in

[@Felixkfm]

How do you control the Volume in Carplay other than with the steering wheel? Is it possible to use the Potentiometer from the original CD unit?

[@litoknight503]

Does it come with CarPlay and how do you use it(like where do you plug in to make it work)

[@todorgeorgiev8716]

How did you install carplay?

[@malikrabah4875]

If you want to make steering wheel controls work you need to setup the canbox

[@smurfangry6351]

true, i have w204 2010, 4 button wheel with volume + / - are OK working. OD-BZ-B3 canbus.

[@patrickswords]

how do you do that ? Can you elaborate for me ?

[@the412_plumber3]

Do u need to run power to this unit ? Or will it power up when u plug into the old radio ? Ur video cut out audio when u may have been explaining

[@TienBuilds]

Plug N Play

[@gilbertmonge4076]

Im wondering the same, some explanation is gone with the audio

[@Bodega_antt]

How did you wire up the rear camera? Theres a red wire that comes off the yellow av cable its suppose to connect to the head unit wiring. But im not sure where its suppose to wire to. Normally you would wire to a designated reverse wire but on this set up the wires aren’t labeled. Any help would be great!

[@ProjectAuto]

Only need the red one at the tail end wired to the reverse light, you can check my chrysler 300 video it's the same thing

[@henrysmith625]

Will it work without original radio? I fitted one but having problems with canbus and havnt got original Thanks

[@eckyenduro1877]

The Ariel lead you pushed back to the left do you not use that lead

[@moebyrd177]

I love how you skipped reinstalling the bottom part haha. I’m having trouble getting the harness to tuck. If anyone has any recommendations then I’d greatly appreciate it.

[@VeryNiceKanye]

U get it in all the way? I can’t yet

[@moebyrd177]

I did. It was a pain in the ass but I got it. The problem is I’m afraid I have to pull it back out because the radio has static so I need to move the antenna. Sucks

[@voony9091]

How tho I’m still having trouble

[@moebyrd177]

You have to to tuck the harness as far back to the bottom left side as you can. Try to tape or zip tie the wires so it doesn’t move.

[@evanzambrano3729]

Im thinking abt buying the screen. How do you enjoy it? Does it have apple car play?

[@JavierBenitez-qt8ki]

The part where's the video is mute. How to connect the radio antenna. Is what i need. You point at the blue connector but it is connected to the dvd lector? Or connected to the screen itself... it is not clear and i have all connected okay but not radio signal. If you can please help.

[@wassermineral3714]

Did you connect it if yes how?

[@MasterChief-pr6fq]

Is it possible to buy an adapter to watch the original radio on the radio conversion? To set the time and the same after the battery was disconnected

[@AlphaKala]

maybe if you get the other design, where it is basically wide screen, there you can still use the factory ui and controls also idk why people still disconnect the battery when changing the radio :D... it is better to be sure but completely unnecessary, especially on mercedes cars, where you lose memory of everything around the car

[@MasterChief-pr6fq]

@@AlphaKala The car was at a Mercedes Benz dealership; there is a recall campaign for the airbags in Germany, where I come from. I don't disconnect the battery because of the radio

No need just simply unplug the small radio plug and plug in the head unit

[@swimandsip1360]

Where did the original screen signal wire connect (the wire with the large rectangular metal plug)? I see you plugged it back into the back of the radio, but did it connect anywhere on the display side?

Check the comments. The admin posted an update on this 10 days ago.

Isn’t the 2011 a different unit. With flip up screen. Is there a retro fit upgrade to maintain to hidden fold down feature for the 2011 C250. Cheers. All great info.

[@TheSparkythespark]

If you have the OEM flip up screen, you can buy an android decoder to give you Apple Carplay on the standard screen. There are no flip-up android screens if you have the regular (non-flip-up) screen in you W204 though. Hope that helps.

[@aznmode1]

Are you also no longer able to access your command menus?
