W213 Retrofitting Full screen LCD - minor issue




First of all my initial setup:
Garmin map pilot, small 8 inch LCD multimedia display
Analog speedometer.
NTG 5 head unit.
What i had to buy
NEW screen(because if you would buy an used screen, you would face the 'dashes' issue: your mileage wouldn't be displayed. There is a workaround, but its costly)*dealer price 2700 euro, I got mine for 1300 euro.
NTG 5.5 Head unit( High Command) Dealer*dealer price 3200 euro, I got mine for 800 euro.
Multimedia Module(Optional, but i wanted apple carplay, so this was a must have) 200 euro
wiring harnass for multimedia module 90 euro
Wire harnass for LCD.. I think it's called the LVDS cable 80 euro
Coding was around 200 euro, but still some things aren't good....
First step is to install the new head unit and wires, it is plug and play. The multimedia module does need a seperate 12V source.
The screen install is peanuts, 3 T20 screws and swap it out.
Coding should be done by someone who knows what they are doing.
It took me several weeks to get it working, but as I said earlier, I have never worked with benz before.
And I dont have C4/Das/Xentry/Vediamo, which I might buy in the near future.
I added a pic of the result.
For now it works, just two minor issues left

First; my backup camera is displayed incorrectly, it has the old resolution, and its super glitchy. parking sensors/parkpilot not working properly anymore
Second; Ambient lighting isnt working yet... But In the light settings menu of the car I cant set brightness level for the cockpit, so my guess is, that is not coded?
Have you fixed the issue?

Could you, please, open it or share it in dm? I would be very thankful.
