Mercedes GLA45 AMG
I have the GLA AMG45 grill which has enough space to put a slim camera (which I have). I was very close to pulling the plug on that interface unit and wasn't sure how the CANbus cable piggy backed with the Android 10.25 unit. Do you have the unit working with your exiting reversing camera, 10.25 inch Android headunit V2 and the front camera? were you able to hide all those Canbus plugs behind the Radio?
Agree, that would be the ideal solution if all works together.

Hello!

Does anybody know if it is possible to edit the original menu that the Android screen comes with. For example, to delete the ´Music' and ´Video´ links or change them to link to other apps?

I can´t seem to edit anything.

Comes with a quad lock harness, you disconnect one of the fakra cables and connect it and add your front cam. It uses the same reverse setting but shows the front only. I haven't installed it yet but when I do I will open a thread on it. I need to repaint my grill first.

hi folks, one thing to make it clear if you can help me.
Im planing to buy 10.25 android unit for my w212 2009, aps 50 radio, and i just want to know if it is there more 2 gb ram +16 gb versions of device, like from more factories where are they produced.

In short does this unit only comes from carlife-mall dot net factory?

Im asking this because local reseller told me that he gets these devices directly from factory but not from carlife mall?Could this be true.
If yes, are there differences in computing power and quality between different makes and versions?

There's lot of resaler, carlife-mall is only one of them. Carlife doesn't own the factory and they don't build the units.
2gb +16gb might be the last version. You can look at AliExpress for the best specs you find.

Right that's the v3.
Yes there's only one factory AFAIK. All the AliExpress + Amazon + Ebay + Carlife + ChrisTheSwid +... are only resellers.

There is more than 1 factory as the main boards are not all the same from people who have looked at them.

You still can't do what the poster was requesting in those menus. You can only change the app for navigation. Video and Audio are fixed as they are part of the launcher UI.

I know this isn't the W205 forum, but I'm asking here b/c this is thread is much more lively than the W205 one. I installed the screen and have no audio and no OEM screen. In the W205, there is a power button for the screen in the middle console by the touchpad. There is also a volume scroll knob, and a toggle for drive mode selector. All of these are non responsive now. Does anyone know I should check out first to solve this? I suspect it's an issue with the main wiring bundle that we have to the OEM bundle into, but I'm no expert.

If I am not mistaken this video may have some help to solve your problem:


If not check outCarlife-mall Emily videos on youtube. It may take awhile to find one that offers a solution but I think it's there.

welp, not sure what it was, but i disconnected the entire thing, made sure the wires weren't cramped, and reconnect. a few tweaks later, and it works! now i just gotta find some restaurant or place that has wifi which can reach my car so i can download offline google maps,

also, does anyone have any apps that you'd recommend?

Anyone else having a similar issue to this:

Every so often (usually if not used for a couple of days) when I switch on the ignition the unit boots up and I get to see the Android interface and the Comand screen. If I then start the car the screen goes off and the backlight comes on, but not the display. Still have the sound from the Comand system. Switching it off, opening the door and switching back on just brings the backlight back on. It has to be left for a period of time (20 minutes or so but not timed it) for it to get to the restart cycle before the screen will fully display again. As this knocks out the ability to use sat nav and takes too long to resolve on a journey, it will be an issue so need to get this sorted one way or another.

On a positive side, in the UK the sim card reader works, but signal was pretty weak. Found that attaching the two aerials that people believed were wifi and signal has improved considerably. Seeing as the device only supports 2Ghz wifi and therefore only requires one aerial for that it kind of makes sense the other is for telephony.

2011 Mercedes E350 Cabriolet (NTG4)
V2 KM issues

Hello all
I installed my new 10.25 android unit on my 2011 E350 cabriolet (NTG4). Everything works well except the mileage.
My car has 54,471 km. The screen at first read it correctly but then change the mileage to over 20 million km.
all else from original screen, display, GPS, bluetooth, aux etc works fine.
Has someone had this issue?
