Upgrade head unit
I have a Beautiful 2014 CLS550 4matic with 618.5 hp after tuning ...its a monster . I would love to upgrade my screen with a OEM 2015 "radio head unit" screen ( not sure what to call it) I know there are android 10 inch aftermarket units but have read to many nightmares. Does anyone know if this can be done with OEM or a reliable aftermarket ? Please help ...I hate my tiny stock screen its to , well um bland lol.

I've heard a lot of great thiings about the android touchscreens. what have you heard?
you should buy off of aliexpress not one of these middle man vendors that charge a mark up. the sellers on there also have excellent customer service

I believe OP wants to go with OEM COMAND 5S1 rather than the android touch screen. Chris is the only one I know of who does a package. I suppose you could source the parts yourself. and find someone to program.

Hey Mario , no issues at all , including structural , there is a local place by me which a guy from Germany comes once a month to retune european all wheel drive cars. They retuned the stock ECU.

How much did it run you ? My local place in Florida is rentech but they're charging an arm and a leg for it..

I believe you have to swap out a tonne of things like the amp and rear camera to upgrade the pre-facelift COMAND to the new ones and it can get very expensive.
I'm on the NTG4 that they put in the 2012s for a few months before they started using the NTG4.5 so I've been looking for a similar solution. I really want Apple CarPlay but there isn't a nice OEM looking solution.
Also, 618bhp!? Nice

A true tuning meaning dyno time and ECU upgrade should run about 12-1800.00 . Any Mercedes dealer can install a rentech but I didnt want to go that route .
