Carplay
Hi guys,

I just want to know whether the 2014 C207 has the carplay?

If so, how can I activate?

I just want the google map to be displayed on the command screen.

Thanks.

My car is a 2016 and it doesn't have Carplay, so I'm pretty sure you're out of luck with that - sorry.

Thanks, good to know.

Then I would use the smartphone for navigation.

Depends on what stereo you ah ve, Audio 20, 50 or Comand.

Even then Carplay and no touch

I would spend the bit more and get the 10.25" Android screen and do it all natively, and have carplay as the backup option through that.

2016 - 2019 CLS-Class
2016 - 2019 E-Class Cabriolet
2016 - 2019 E-Class Coupe
2016 - 2019 GLA-Class
2016 - 2019 GLE-Class

Apple Car Play (and Android Auto) did not arrive on the marketplace until late 2015, and even then it was available only on a few brand of autos in 2016. So AA/ACP on any car this age and before are retrofits.

MB's with build code 531 COMAND APS NTG5/NTG5.5can be retrofit with a dealer update to firmware update High_CY15_9, followed by an aftermarket OBD2 module to activate AA/ACP. See this thread for details (from post 80>)... https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...16-w212-3.html

If you have an earlier spec version of Comand, most people replace the head unit with one that offeres AA/ACP. https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...installed.html

I have "531 COMAND APS NTG5/NTG5.5" on my build sheet. Rather than something aftermarket, can I just have my dealer install this?

I think you still need the OBD2 module as well. The MB part# is referenced somewhere in another forum in MBWorld.

My 2017 C400 C4 has Apple Car Play and Android Auto- It was included in Option P03 (Premium 3 Package). I tried both when I got the car, and pretty much never used either since. I find the onboard navigation works okay, and for music I have many thousands of songs on SD Cards. I did observe that getting & sending Text messages is better using the Car Play or Android Auto. Both the Car Play & Android Auto worked quite well-- but I like to listen to Satellite Radio and my own music-- which I can not do, if I'm running navigation on Car Play or Android Auto

2012 E350
Just purchased a 2012 E350 last Friday. Was about to get reeeeally mad over the fact the COMAND system kept rebooting, thought we bought a car with a problem. Glad to hear that it's not just us. Hope that it's fixed soon, though.

Is there any way to disable the SiriusXM?
