I'm in the process of getting this for my 2016 c63s, this is what is included in the package. Just a waiting game now for it to come in. Not cheap though but rather spend and get OEM than after market.

She's all up and running now - feels like a new car with the added features.
For those asking how was the install process, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone that doesn't have background in wiring and reading schematics as you have to re-pin the main harness. Lots of plugs didn't fit and each car has different options so you have to improvise.
From what I can tell the HU5.5 was from an E class as I had errors about 4matic not working - which were coded out.
If you would like more info shoot me a Private message
@Cosworth2000 yeah the supplier sent me a brand new screen, still had the film on it. I think any W205 FL screen will work because the way it is plugged in to work. Have to say I learnt a lot about how the W205 works when it comes to wiring now.

I'd like some info on where to purchase this kit and any install instructions?
I got all the stuff from a guy in Singapore but I have family over there that went and saw and also paid him to make sure hes legit. Didnt exactly feel 100% about sending of so much money. Your call though!!
All you need is the adapter shown above and a HU55 and Digital IC from a 2019 w205 not a 2020 variant.
You need a good understanding of re-pinning the main harness
I see the difference, now. So you have 2 options:
- you need to repin old cables into new one
- or find adpater, some one will create it for you to be plug and play (I know they exist on vw, most probably not a lot of people making modification so nobody started with production yet)
would be handy if someone will share electrical single line diagram of old and new here
I have the two screens and the Hu of a w205 FL. Do you need to modify the original wiring harness? Or maybe your contacts in Singapore are selling ready-made ones. thanks for the help
Did you want just digital cluster and the infotainment screen or both?

You have few options but are you only trying change the instrument cluster or the 10inch screen tablet style one I believe is on that model. If you want keep the 10 inch and just change the instrumrnt cluster or the entire system. There are several Chinese plug n play options work great as you can see here I upgraded my brother ugly flip up ntg 4.7 to 6.0 looking version. While not exactly mbux it huge upgrade as you have wireless carplay and Android auto and the style is identical to mbux. So I'm assuming you Want the cluster done as well in that case it prob be easier to buy the screen from Mercedes-Benz for 800$ and a new head unit for another 1000$ and hope u know how install and you'll need xentry and possibly calibration tools if you have sensors etc. Depending on if you live in Europe or England there's places that do the entire job. Hmu let me know exactly what you're looking to get done . I'll try fund cheapest and best solution that looks factory
I bought the complete second-hand kit from a 2019 w205. Here in France I have not yet found anyone who knows how to code the car. I have to find the electrical diagram of the two cars to compare the differences
