Notes.
1. looks like it's not yet ready for release (has bugs)
2. Does not support AMG or cars with HUDs (So I am screwed)
3. No map in cluster.
4. Currently does not support OEM media options, like Bluetooth, media, music, radio etc. (future upgrade)
5. Cluster WILL NOT 100% compatible with oem functions, only some functions work correctly now. (future upgrade)

I would not trust android for main digital cluster. My screen would have issues now and then requiring restart which to me is unacceptable for safety with the primary gauge cluster.

I honestly want a real oem digital cluster, but nobody can prove their implementation works seamlessly in a 2015 W205.

If MBHouse were serious, they wouldn't be afriad of questions. Just send us lots of money, don't worry bro.

Sorry, just providing info. I have not purchased this.

Too many open questions, plus not sure the UI covers all my features.

Yeah, I was wondering if this would work since it's just an Android screen and not sure how it would work with all the different features each persons' car.

Being an android screen the font should be easily changed in the settings.

I am going to give this thing 6 months to fix any issues then get V2.

Also, how long does it take to boot on start?
Any battery drain issues when car is off?

Glad you solved some rattles, what kind of sound deadening did you apply? Did you also considered felt tape (the dealership likes to use that), and if you don't mind me asking what rattles did you have.

I installed it easily. After experiencing it for 3 days, it still has many points that have not been improved
• does not display HUD
• does not display tire pressure
• always reset the time to 00:00 every time you start the car (after the car moves about 20-30 minutes, the time is automatically updated)
• I personally find the brightness at night bright, affecting driving.
• fonts are not perfect
In addition to the above problems, you are well worth the money to experience it.
Hope it gets an update soon

That time reset certainly does sound annoying but I wonder why the brightness can't be adjusted? I am assuming the brightness control from the car built in where the light switch is, is no longer functional?

dimmable, but it's 10% min, still very bright when driving at night
