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.

It can be done but at great cost. Check out Chris the Swede, most active in the 212 forum.

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.

Following this thread. Side question which tune did you do? How long did you have it and any structural issues?

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.

Nickybenz

hey amgboy , so are you saying I can somehow install a 2015 and later year screen in my CLS 550?

Nickybenz

AMGBOY , I have heard nightmares like sound only comes thru one side of the car , usb has no functions ect. I agree if I buy i will but from aliexpress thanks !

Nickybenz

I have a general question , why is a 2014 cls550 come up as a c218? shouldnt it say w218?Mercedes-Benz Coupes & Cabriolets > CLS Coupe (C218)

Nickybenz

never mind I saw my answer on another post , thanks

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

Nickybenz

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 .

Nickybenz

Yes i did see swapping all those things out as well and that would be a nightmare ! lol yeah the car is super car status , its a sleeper for sure.
