Ive notice mine done when the iPhone goes below 2 bars of Service, or sometimes for no reason at all. I have an iPhone 11 running iOS 15 beta, but this issue preceded the beta download. Thanks!!

Does this unit use the original radio built in NTG? does it have its own radio chip? I have the Japanese version of the C63 and the frequency range is also Japanese :/

No radio interface, when you go to radio it defaults to factory tuner. Received updated one yesterday, currently working on install.

I am very interested in this unit. Is this from CJM? RHD version? Any problems in install and connection of hardware and software? Are there any other screen upgrades available for facelift W204?

I believe it does and you can answer through the android and the mb system will take over if it is selwcted to handle calls. However if you want to dial out using the mb system, you have to back out to the factory screen to do it or it goes through android.
