Looking for a good Carplay adapter for 2017 C300
Hi all! I've decided to solve my lack of Apple Carplay by getting an aftermarket kit to install it over the display. I know there are a lot of similar looking kits on sites like ebay and AliExpress that have varying prices and install processes, so I'm asking the community if they know any good kits that people tend to buy and like. I know these things aren't perfect, but here's what I'd like to get out of it:
I know this is a lot of look out for, but any help is appreciated. If you know of a very popular kit that a lot of people with the 2017 C300 (NTG5.0) are getting that is also a Wireless Carplay module, you could send me that as well. Usually people on this forum know what they are doing and tend to pick the best parts.
- System where by holding a button (usually the back button) screen will immediately go into Carplay. Hopefully there won't be some settings panel every time this is done.
- Bonus if the system can go into carplay when turning the car on.
- If the carplay screen is active, going into reverse will still prompt the backup camera screen, and going out of reverse will take me back to carplay (I'm fine if it goes to the MB screen after, but I wouldn't like a system that I have to manually go out of carplay in order to see my back up camera).
- System uses car's microphone for calling and siri, rather than needing to install a microphone with the kit.
- MOST IMPORTANT: Looking for a Wireless Carplay module, not wired.

I have the N600 and it works great.
There are also CarPlay proxy boxes that can be installed. The install for those is similar except for replacing the screen. I had one of these boxes but find the touchscreen to be much more usable.
