There is a speaker under the cover and is silent during the calls, music, fm,navi,etc. So probably you're right about SOS calls. I was thinking to swap for Match Up dual coil center speaker with two audio cable plugs, then plug audio and stock cable (for SOS calls). It will work?

How are you going to plug the audio cable? From what I remember the Match centre speaker is rated for 100W RMS (which coincidentally is probably the max your headunit will put out to all of the speakers at once) so unless you repurpose the footwell woofer connection or you have an aftermarket amplifier I doubt it will sound any good.

It will by off topic. I have bought 10.25 android screen. It looks like newest screens coming with small ****ty speaker (attached photo). I been told by Chinese supplier that the speaker is for BT calls and navi. Sounds weird but I couldn’t get more accurate info as communications was hard and had a feeling that he doesn’t know what we talk about.

I am about to install screen tomorrow and if will need to have that small speaker connected, I prefer connect android screen to center dash speaker which is silent anyway. I am not audio system expert, so not sure that my idea with match up dual coil will work.

Yeah, that speaker will be used for calls and navi sounds if you're back in NTG menu. I would suggest just using a USB DAC on the screen as the sound would be better anyway and it would disable that speaker whilst it's in use.

No, you'll still need to use that dongle if you haven't got COMAND or a DSP box from your screen seller but you can connect something like FiiO E10K to the USB port of the screen which will improve sound quality.
It'll still be quite bad in my opinion using that dongle provided for AUX input but miles better than without using anything else.

My screen has DSP processor.
I have W205 2017. Has it got COMAND?
So I need this usb aux dongle?


PS: How exactly I can plug in USB DAC to the screen? Do you meant swapping usb dongle which coming with the screen for proper usb dac?
