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.

Mr. Toad

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.

Supposedly that works pretty well?

Yup, I had my Joyauto installed several months ago and it's still awesome. Wireless connection is via wifi and is very fast. Several folks on the forum have installed DIY. Documentation is lacking though, but there's a good detailed DIY thread on this forum.

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.

I don't even know what car play is

Interestingly, Apple's website indicates that CarPlay is available for the following MB models:

2016 - 2019 A-Class
2016 - 2019 B-Class
2016 - 2019 CLA-Class
2016 - 2019 CLS-Class
2016 - 2019 E-Class Cabriolet
2016 - 2019 E-Class Coupe
2016 - 2019 GLA-Class
2016 - 2019 GLE-Class
2017 - 2019 E-Class
2017 - 2019 GLS-Class
2017 - 2019 SL-Class
2018 - 2019 GLC-Class
2018 - 2019 S-Class
2019 C-Class

However, I can find no indication of support in the documentation for my car (2016 e400 coupe).

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

Mr. Toad

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.

Joyeauto CarPlay still works after iOs 13 update...

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

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?
