Hey, I'm just casually joining in here. I dontdreally understand, if my aux is in the glovebox, what does that tell me?

It gives us an idea of what configuration the cabling and the mode on the unit needs to be in to work. There was a pdf posted earlier in the thread which shows the wiring options for the different modes.

thanks for the response , firstly i appreciate it all. cus this is pretty much community driven as far as support.

aux is in the arm rest,

I have the blue / green connector into the back of the screen and then additionally what looks like a power cable alongside it (small) ntg 4.5

as seen in this vid 3:30

this is my stock / default setup

gonna try the a/b cabling swap as mentioned tomorrow aswell and get back to you guys.

Thanks for the advice Sly

Sounds like you should just need to connect the screen up, the second cable isn't needed. The A/A cable should then be fine and you will need to set the mode to 4 on the Android head unit. If that doesn't work you have to remove the loop back connector, swap the cable over and then put the other corresponding loop back cable onto the now unused connector.

Is anyone experiencing no voice-based navigation from Android Auto? I have checked the screen settings menu for both Navi and System Volume and the Music app works fine. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

So the conclusion with mine is, i got the wrong wiring loom, hence why i cant even see a boot up, i think mine is for a GLA rather than my 13' A class on ntg 4.5

If anyone has seen a place I could buy a wiring loom for an A class (W176) any help would be appreciated, (Vendor/ website)
If anyone has one would also be nice? or wants to swap
messaged Chris for advice but dont know if he can help at this point.

I guess this is what happens when you buy used

HOTT damn, it works. Would very much enjoy seeing a video of maps and audio side by side, especially to see if the audio cuts low of off for directions.

Thanks Chris for the reply, but I didn't understand. was it possible for V1 but no more for V2? and does it means that there is no way to connect to car sound through Bluetooth? in fact I feel the quality of sound transfered through Aux is bit cheaper than the sound quality through Bluetooth (i could be totaly wrong). I wish if I could get the sound through Bluetooth. I would enjoy it.

Chris The Swede

There is a extra BT box included with the V2. So that is why its different for V2.

You also have to have the "Google" app installed in order to get the voice control as it is part of the assistant.

Not all apps work because the authors have to support the split API and not all do. Split screen is not "native" to Android 7. The APIs have to be supported by both the manufacturer and app writer. Even the same app will work split screen on one of my 7 devices while they won't on the other so there may be different API builds or perhaps not all resolutions are supported by the API (so a short resolution like 480px) my throw it a curve ball.

Skeechan

For a split screen audio app, you can try VLC and see if it works (since VLC does support PnP on some devices).

Have a new video on wallpaper change and boot logo change but I cant post it since I dont pay MBworld..

Why you wouldn't become a paid sponsor I have no idea, considering you have tens if not a hundred interested parties in this thread alone, not counting what you might have site-wide. A little clear explanation and a reasonably done v2 demonstration video and you'd have people lining up to order, myself included.

Chris The Swede

You know what it cost???? Cant afford it..And Im not here to sell..I have NEVER said buy from me or posted a link to my store. Im here to help..Im here as a BIG Mercedes enthusiast wich Ive been for 25 years now modding MBs...I should not have to pay to help just because my channel logo is in the beginning of the video as a copyright so no other steal my video wich happened before.

I have been a member here helping out for FREE since the forum started..(Under different names...)

Anyone rooted yet?

Finally done my install. Shout out Chris for the spare cable. Wrapped my trim in carbon fiber while I had the parts out.

Because the third-party management company this forum re-directs to when you try to become a sponsor sucks big time, don't give a crap about what you want, and they want hundreds of dollars each month JUST to be able to post here without being red-flagged or banned. It's actually quite ridiculous and is nothing more than a money-grab; it has nothing to do with the prosperity of the forum or helping the community.

There wasn't much room but under the unit you should be able to fit part of the harness. Took me 15 minutes but keep trying, you'll get it eventually. Fished the wires on the glove box side.

bigjule

Chris The Swede
