And with oem parts, would be plug and play?
2015 W205 is not plug and play.
Any chinese solution would not be using OEM parts.

If your car year (2019+) had a digtal cluster option you can ask the dealer about swapping.

Mine is 2017, but in principle just Interested in oem parts, including central display 10,25 inches...

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.

I'm waiting to get the hardware as its coming from overseas.
I need a wiring diagram of NTG though - hopefully someone can help with that, as all I can find is NTG 4.5 ones.

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.

Hey mate,
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 would go with this simple tablet style option for my 2015 W205. Use a 12.5 inch android screen with special cluster application and custom bracket.
A Y cable and you can leave the existing cluster in place behind it.

PFL205.064 with M276.823 (Oil pump solenoid defeated)
I wonder if there is anyway you could retrofit the SL's style screen on yours 2015 W205 instead of having the design something from scratch.

Wiring diagram
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?

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
