Wonder if using this modify chip would bring CarPlay feature on a version without Carplay

Contact the seller with your VIN number. They can tell you if it will work. My 2017 has an NTG5 head unit and CarPlay can not be enabled via OBD. This requires NTG5.1 or NTG5.2 head unit.

I guess mine also not possible with this method since no CarPlay symbol on the USB socket

Thanksfor your reply

Here is a link for the Smartphone integration tool on the MB site with a VIN lookup tool. This either has to already be present or installed.

Saw your post. I've personally tried two CarPlay upgrade kits. There's a wireless one and wired one.

Wired - contact: sardincarusa@gmail.com
PROs:

• Easy install
• Reliable connection
• Has CarPlay and Android Auto
• Good install instructions
• Uses OEM microphone
• Cheaper than wireless version
• Default starts in MB menu
  
  
  Wireless - contact - djfrestyler@aol.com
  
  PROs
• No need for wired connection
• Fast charge w/10W+W charger + USB-C-Lightning cable
• Good install instructions
  
  
  CONs
• Occasionally loses connection
• Have to install an extra microphone
• More expensive than wired version
• No Android Auto - only mirroring

Install is easy. Takes 1-2 hrs. Tools and detailed instructions are included for either if you contact the emails above. US resellers made their own instructions. Makes it easy. Good luck!
