Looking for head unity recomendations
Hey Guys,
After 8 years with my 2011 E550, the head unit is starting to feel dated. Looking for recommendations for a replacement. Ideally I'm looking for a system that looks factory, I don't want a big goofy screen, and has wireless apple car play. Would also like to retain use of the factory buttons and knobs, including those on the steering wheel and the control knob on the center console, no touch screen. Does anyone have any recommendations for systems they like?

We have a dedicated thread related to it (You should be able to find it here on the W212 Forums ). My car has it but I don't know which brand it is . There's other systems as you would like to have that replaces the original unit but looks OEM . Sorry ,no brand recommendation . I would like to keep the OEM display unit but I have got a 360 view camera installed and thanks to that Android Display (bigger than OEM yet doesn't look funky at all ) I can be able to have a better view compared to original .
My main complaint with that I can't make a proper phone call when I connect my phone via Android Unit . So, I use keep MB Audio to connect my phone and turn on Hotspot to use Google Maps .Yes, steering wheel controls can be controlled as well as center knob
