MB’s of all kinds.
Honestly 99% of these units are cheap knock off crap that never works. I had one in my CLK and it was so bad I took it out. It’s best to just keep it OEM

Thanks for the reply. The 2007 oem is pretty much useless. I found a pretty good update for my 2003 M5. Nothing for MB of this era?

There's basically those android units you can buy on aliexpress. But there's so many of them and the quality is so variable it's hard to say what works and what doesn't. I suppose you could just grab one from Crutchfield, but it won't be cheap. I just use a mount for my phone and call it a day. I have a bluetooth receiver for the ipod cable and just use the audio system for that. And Comand means something in MB parlance so it's just one M, not two.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I was hoping to integrate but if that’s not easy, so be it.

Hit and miss indeed. A buddy of mine had a cheap Android unit in his CLS55 but it looked so out of place. He installed an OEM unit and called it a day haha
