2014 Mercedes Benz E350 Formatic
Android Screen Install in W212 2014 E350

Hi All,

I decided to put in an Android 10 inch screen in my 2014 E350 W212 Facelift.

I will share more photos and links once I’m done.

Unfortunately I dropped one of the screws that holds in the radio into the dash. I know where it is but can’t get to it, it’s between the dash and the left wall of the passenger side footwell if that makes sense.

I’m concerned that the screw will rattle when I drive. Any idea how I can access that area of the car? I removed most of the center console and still can’t get to it.

Alternatively I need to purchase a replacement screw. It’s a torx screw, please see photo below. Anyone know where to find it?

Second question - the wood trim on the dash has a mood lighting bar that runs along the bottom. It appears that I cracked the light component on the left side (the one right above the ignition switch). It will probably still work fine, but would like to replace that piece if possible. Anyone know what it’s called? See photo below.

Hopefully I’ll get everything reassembled in the next day or two!

Thanks for the help in advance.

You can try to use one of those magnetic picks for the screw, but I would not sweat it too much. Just go to Home Depot and get replacement screw with Phillips or slot head.
Have fun on the job. The other android topic is reaching high hundreds of replies and last time I check, lot of question are still not answered.
