What distinguishes your product from what appears to be the identical offering from Ali Express for much cheaper? Not meaning to be snarky it is just hard to get information on which products are reliable, and which are not.

I try to not post anything negative on any forum or social media. That said, I need to share my experiences with this product and they were not wonderful.
My background: I’m a mechanical engineer with 56 years experience working on cars. I have a good knowledge of most auto systems including electrical. I also have four decades’ experience in global tech so I have more than a passing knowledge of computers.
In fairness, I have not contacted the customer support team of CarPutech. In their manual, they describe that most issues are setup issues and can be resolved remotely.
I installed the system and it did not boot every time. When I firmly replugged the connectors, it did boot every time. Then, I tried to set the resolution of the screen to match my NT 5.0. The manual does a good job of describing how to change screen resolution but my system would not function at the resolution of the NT system. I did as the manual prescribes and I set a new resolution and then backed out of the menu, shut the car off and then restarted. I tried every resolution and NT version without success. This meant I could not go back to the OEM screen and run my satellite radio or change the radio, nav system, etc. This was a deal breaker for me.
The physical install was tricky and not up to the fit and finish of Mercedes. The CarpuTech system is a Linux system and touch screen system. The engineers at CarpuTech created a plastic part that replaced the OEM bezel and it also holds the monitor. It was a good idea but the parts don’t fit. I needed to install the new bezel-mount with custom spacers. The end result was most of the ill fitting mount was hidden by the new monitor but as it was cantilevered, it would have bounced during a drive and I would have needed to adhere it to the dash. In a Mercedes? Ugh.
Then, the audio did not play through the Mercedes audio system. I suspect had I connected one of the two USB-A connectors to the Aux (USB1 or USB2) in the console, I might have been able to get the audio systems to work. There was no mention of this in the manual or videos.
In summary, for the price, this is a lot of hardware and software. The replacement bezel-mount is just not good enough to be in a Mercedes. Maybe CarpuTech could figure out the OEM screen resolution but I spent five hours on the install and removal of the system.
I’m interested if others had the same problems I did and how your resolved them.

I've been slowly installing one of these chinese brands in my W211 (Joying Auto).I bought one of the more expensive ones because I read the support was great. I ordered it, and it took almost 2 months to arrive, because I think they then had to custom order it from their factory. The documentation was literally a screenshot with arrows emailed to me. I got tired of dealing with it, and my w211 interior is in pieces in one of my garages right now. Fortunately it is just my tinkering car these days, but man, what a bunch of bull****. I own a 2024 GMC pickup with a huge screen and native android auto wireless, which is what prompted me to go this route. If I could get something similar in my W212, it would literally be the perfect car, but after dealing with the crap I got for my W211, I am hesitant to buy some similar chinese garbage and ruin my E400. I wish a real company like Pioneer or something would make a system that we could purchase with confidence and know it would work.
