2015 NTG5 died. Best replacement options?

Hi, my 2015 W205 NTG5 Comand unit has died.

I am looking at all my options so I can make the most of this unfortunate event.

I have Burmeister Sound, reverse Camera, and factory 8.4" display with factory navigation. Bluetooth will only allow me to connect 1 device at a time.

If i was to upgrade to NTG5.2 or NTG5.5, will i retain the Burmeister sound, and gain the ability to connect 2 phones via Bluetooth at the same time?
I believe post 2015 models also had Car Play and Android Auto.

Appreciate all help. thanks in advance.

Note: the dealership will want to replace with another NTG5, but given the expense, i'd like to gain some extra functionality.

Have a look in AliExpress so many aftermarket 12.5" multifunction multimedia screens. They fit perfectly. I bought one for my car and I love it.

I have one awaiting to be installed but without a working comand module, the 8 4" screen is blank and I can't control the AC temp or see other adjustments.

so you need a new command module? I thought installing a new screen will solve the problem as you will be using the functions on the actual screen.

The new screen functions will work as a stand alone display.

The Comand NTG5 is still required for audio via optical and also for video output of car settings.
