Android 10.25 Screen Unit
There's been a post in the W212 section regarding these units but I figured I would start one for us W204 owner to discuss the units specifically for the W204. I assume both pre-FL and FL units are the same with the exception of the mounting molds and the exclusion of the the LVDS converter from pre-FL units.
These are the info that I know of so far: -Android 5.0 -1gb RAM -16gb Memory -10.25 inch screen 1280x400 -Full touch screen except for command fuctions -Built in microphone -Only replaces your screen so all command function still available to the screen including OEM back up camera (if equipped) -Can use control nav for navigating the android side -Mirror link for android and iphone (have not gotten this to work with my note8 and i don't have an iphone to test) -Includes youtube, google maps (can install Waze if you prefer) Things I've run into: -Audio switching from OEM radio to youtube works intermittently. -Cannot change the metric unit -BT connection to phone app need to reconnect every time unit restarts (not a big deal as you can still use the command BT connection to make calls which is the preferred method IMO) -Cannot get mirror link to work with my Samsung Note 8 (works with iphone 8) -Cannot install more apps after installing Waze, iheart, swiftkey, LMT pie even though my internal says 12gb. Setting the storage to SDcard did nothing for me. Had to root to move apps to SDcard -It seems every 3 starts I encounter an issue (OEM command doesn't show, black screen). This has been fixed. Issue was the square connector for the hardness was getting squished. I will add more as I'm still getting to know this unit. UPDATES: Fix for my memory issue (for now) Root with Kingroot Install Foldermount and move app data to SD card (I currently have a 32gb sd card in the unit) How to install unit. Thanks to Raymond Urias https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...f0faaabfd6.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...412f8cafb6.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...61a7dc5031.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...0afc76c889.jpg Main screen home screen. It not showing a C class image however. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...1b9f42079e.jpg Screen with KMPH and app menu screen https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...5a46a4f296.jpg Stock command. Not touchscreen but can control knob can still control it.https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...d1109e5ccb.jpg Real time KMPH (can't switch to MPH), headlight, seat belt, brake, and RPM. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...cf0bb5b8ee.jpg Google play storehttps://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...a69b114b90.jpg Internet https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...cf0467233e.jpg Youtube https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...bbdff1277d.jpg -------------------------------------------------------------- MODS/upgrades OBD2 reader to read engine status Bluetooth OBDII scanner that plugs into my OBDII. This way I can see information such as RPM, speed, boost, temp etc on the screen. Except I can't get it to pair. When I go to my bluetooth setting, I see the OBDII on the list but when I try to pair, it won't pop up the screen to where I can enter the pairing code. Do you guys know of any bluetooth OBDII devices that do not require a pairing code? This is the one I bought UPDATE: Solved my issue Found this app to pre program pin code for bluetooth connections. Well worth the $1.99 price tag for what I'm trying to accomplish. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...con.btautopair https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...f69b5609b6.jpg I purchased Torque Pro from the play store and here is a screen shot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...g.prowl.torque Not sure I like the interface of Torque Pro so I will keep searching for one that I like. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...438adaa469.jpg -------------------------------------------- Create quick shortcuts to home, back, recent app Here are 2 similar cool app so you don't need to mess with that small dot in the bottom left corner of the screen to expand the home and back button. I'm using the LMT Pie on xda since I also use it on my phone. The issue I found with the xda one is that you can't access accessibility option on your screen. You need to access this for the back button to work. The one from the play store will get you to accessibility during setup. But if you are rooted then the xda one will work right away. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....jun.simplepie https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=1330150 I have mine set to so I just swipe from the left or right side (mid section) of the screen and added a "recent app" button so I can get to my open apps quickly without going to home > apps. Also set up "quick Openquicksettings" button so I can quickly access BT, wifi, etc. ----------------------------------------------------------- Make phone a file server to view image/ play videos (Phone needs to be a hotspot or both on the same network) **This may only work on Android phones Install X-plore File manager on both devices. On your phone, open X-plore File manager app, go to "wifi file sharing" then click on "Wifi server" to make it a server. On the android screen, also open X-plore File Manager, go to "Wifi server" then "+ Add device". Once you see your phone connect to it. You can then navigate through your phones files open or play your saved videos. ----------------------------------------------------------- Autolaunch app on bootup I use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...llReviews=true To auto launch this app (it takes time if you have other things trying to launch on boot like LMT Pie) https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....motorcar.free Paid version (not sure entirely the difference) https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ncher.motorcar The Car Launcher is my go to app now as I can customize it better to have my specific set of app list. If I need to go back to the standard android one I just press home button. Using LMT PIE I can easily go back to Car Launcher. Here is why I like Car launcher (Sorry for the blurry pics): 1. Built in voice search button https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...e52397b0ac.jpg 2. Choose any player installed and control play pause forward back https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...f0ec90c696.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...399c87d84b.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...f627caf0b8.jpg 3. Create custom app list https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...d84a623e56.jpg 4. Knob control 5. MPH. Minor but still a plus (far right of screen) |

I saw Raymond Urias' both videos on youtube detailing the installation and the features.
The unit can be found here: http://www.mbscashopen.com/multimedi...uchscreen-w204 and is priced at $638 without VAT. You can see what it looks like inside a facelift car but W212 E-class here: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...installed.html |

Unfortunately you will never find an Apple version of this. The closest you can get is do screen mirroring on this device or buy a mirror link module to attach to your stock command but since you're using stock screen still then it won't be touch screen. Navigation still done on the phone.
and a link for forum write up on this? |

If you check the seller’s website, it also looks like they sell a dongle for Apple CarPlay. http://www.mbscashopen.com/c-class/w...id-touchscreen |

UPDATE: Fix for my memory issue (for now)
Root with Kingroot Install Foldermount and move app data to SD card (I currently have a 32gb sd card in the unit) Working with Chris at CKM on the audio auto switch intermittent issue & mirroring issue with my Samsung Note 8 (this mirroring issue might be Note 8 specific) |

That didn't take long. Awesome! Were you able to install more apps now? I think the limitation will soon be the 1GB of RAM and not the storage memory.
Since I'm rooted, if remember back in the old android days I was able to make storage the internal storage so potentially I can increase my storage to 32gb. I will try to see if it will recognize a 64gb then that's even more room. |
I recently installed this in my pfl C180K, haven't used it that much yet But so far I'm really liking it. Google maps was lagging quite bad though, doesn't seem to happen with Waze. Installed Spotify and that works really well.

I have to agree. That would bug me. Maybe it isn't as bad when looking at it from the driver seat?

So I bought a bluetooth OBDII scanner that plugs into my OBDII. This way I can see information such as RPM, speed, boost, temp etc on the screen. Except I can't get it to pair. When I go to my bluetooth setting, I see the OBDII on the list but when I try to pair, it won't pop up the screen to where I can enter the pairing code. Do you guys know of any bluetooth OBDII devices that do not require a pairing code?
