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.

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:
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!

CONs - Occasionally loses connection
- Have to install an extra microphone
- More expensive than wired version
