Hi,

I have a 2016 W246 B Class AMG. I have tried it all and have eventually got Android Auto working. It worked with CarPlay natively.

So I have a few questions and then I will explain my journey so you can try a few things.

Firstly, do you know what NTG version you have?

Secondly, do you see the option for Carplay or Android Auto in your Telephone menu?

If you do not have the options showing, many will tell you that you need to get a OBD plugin that will open the options...however I followed the route of using the Service Menu and turning it on in there. I will drop you a link to a YouTube video that explains it all.

If you are a iPhone user , this is all you need. If you are an Android user, then the journey may need to continue a little more if it doesn't connect automatically via the cable.

I am not an expert but a frustrated, determined Mercedes owner who refuses to play the stupid game of giving money to dealership to have them do something to the car that it was designed to do anyway.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

👍🏽

I got it working.

Apparently all I needed is coding.

I went to a local shop, they were able to unlock this option.

thank you for replying to my post
