W205 - CarPlay

[speeddevil15]

Anyone know whether CarPlay come in standard for W205 model?

[Omgamg]

at the moment, no

[Superdry]

To my understanding, the only Singapore Mercedes model which has Carplay supported is the 2016 A class.

C&C had not offered any aftermarket Carplay to those older models yet. Let me know if C&C offers.

 

Some rumours on the Carplay status offered by Mercedes:

US Mercs car distributor has a Carplay installation for those cars which are not supported previously.e.g. GLA below

Speeddevil 15, pls refer to the Carplay posts by some owners using Mirroring for Carplay done in Singapore.

If iPhone, you can install the Apple TV in your car. Overall should be cheaper.

need for android. $800 for mirroring function really steep...

[Omgamg]

actually why need to mirror?

GPS, so don't need to mount anything on wind screen and have cables running around. Can keep the dash board clean. Stream videos for passengers of course!

[Omgamg]

I thought Apple TV works on wifi, so if your device and Apple tv are not connected to the same wifi, you can't mirror. No?

You can use the hotspot function on your phone, or get a mifi device. You don't actually need a data connection on your mifi to link up the system and make it work, just use it as a router.

interesting.. thanks for sharing!

 

probably consider it after warranty over

C&C Singapore confirmed SMARTPHONE INTERGRATION PACKAGE is not available aftermarket for existing car owners.

Elebest offers mirroring which is different from CARPLAY, not sure what the differences are.

Any update on this post?  Is it possible to install carplay on w205?

[Superman]

Forget Car Play or Android Auto. This is much better!

This thing runs on Android 5.1. So why mirror your phone when you can run your apps directly on it. With apps in Google Play, the sky is the limit.

It looks really amazing! Aftermarket upgrade can really do wonders to the Merc cars!

An interface is a simple module that plugs into an OBD2 port and then automatically runs a program for 30 seconds, which unlocks CarPlay and Android Auto.

It seems that this interface module works with Mercedes vehicles with Command NTG5.1 audio system.

I asked the China supplier before and it does only support 2017 nov onwards batch for W205 in China. 

Elebest is able to install for w205.
