CLS220 Shooting Brake
Comand NTG5.5 - Android/Mirroring Question
Hi all, apologies in advance (because it looks like a widely discussed topic with lots of info out there) but I'm struggling to find the answer after sifting through all the stickys.
I have a 2015(15) CLS 220 Shooting Brake and my VIN tells me I have a "COMAND APS NTG5/NTG5.5". 4 questions, my aim is to mirror my android screen I'm guessing via Android-Auto, wired or wireless. As I say, I've sifted through the threads and found lots of combinations to try, hold this down for 10 seconds, hangup+#+1, vehicle+down+lefthold, vehicle+down+righthold and a few others, none of which seem to do anything. Also checked youtube for lots of videos but can't find a system which looks exactly as mine does...so...
1) Simple way to confirm the unit I have? (without having to take it out - I can't find any kind of 'about' within the system itself)
2) How to enable android auto (engineering menu?)...
3) I'm seeing lots of vids with OBD activation tools - maybe this is the only way?
4) No reversing camera on my model, people are talking about a video aux in... is this located on the back of unit requiring removal? Can't see anything obvious in the car.
Thanks in advance for any help.
