I have yet to see the 4.5 with one of these interfaces in the glove box. Does the interface in the center console work?

+1!
Our NTG 4.5 Harman-Becker does not feature the magic plug/play connector at least in the US market

> Glove box NTG-4.0:
I believe only cars pre-facelift or NTG4.0 feature the special open interface in glove-box.

> Center console NTG-4.5:
What facelifted cars have in the center console I believe is a proprietary Interface limited to Apple devices.

Eagerly awaiting a plug and play (or relatively simple) fix for those of us without a Becker slot in the glove box.

So you can only post advertisement or is there a way you can reach your support line friends internally for VIP info otherwise we are clueless with conflicting info.

Hopefully sales support knows better to ring sales - TXS

Be sure to confirm whether your glove box has a becker slot before purchasing. If your glove box doesn't have a becker slot, it won't work even if your model is included in the adapter table!!

lucky! I received the carplay module for the NTG4.0 system today.
Can't wait to install it. Before receiving the package I asked carlinkitlife supporter to provide the installation video.

I've also ordered a unit, same NTG 4.0 for my 2011 E350
Remember to update us on how the install goes, if you have any tips or tricks to pass on
I have done one previous install on an Audi before, and the toughest parts were removing the trim and original unit, and then splicing power wires from the harness (it doesn't look like we have to do that here thankfully)

Where do you live, that shipping only took 7 days? Do you have to pay any taxes, tariffs or import duties?

Note: Remove the air conditioning panel. This may require some skill. But the video taught me how to do it. If you can successfully remove it, you have already completed 80% of the work, and the remaining tasks are very simple.


I haven't pay pay any taxes, tariffs or import duties. It really only takes 7 days

This is probably the best $250 I've spent in a long time.. It took me about 90 minutes to install. Setup was a breeze and the integration is nearly seamless.

Does it retain the original backup camera on the Comand screen when you reverse? Or, even better, will it allow for an aftermarket/upgraded backup camera to be installed?

Yes, it can keep the original backup camera and add aftermarket front and rear cameras.

Can you let me know where you physically put the unit and where you routed the USB cable for wired (I have an android). I am very interested in this and am hoping the sale/discount don't expire before I do some more research.
