OK @WaveyKat I installed all is good. As you I'm in jersey but go to NYC area all the time. Long story short when I go over the rartian bridge on parkway going south the reception is horrible. But when I get close to NYC its perfect no bad reception at all. I'm on the Jersey shore exit 102 asburynpark area so we get all NYC FM and am channels. Again why is that when I go south from NYC the reception is bad? Thx in advance @WaveyKat also thx for the hook up with radio. Hook up works with w164 ml350 2009

Finally got around to hooking my 15’ Fakra cable from the AVIN to the Sirius tuner, and whoala.......radio reception works like a champ. After 3 different cheap powered and unpowered antennas this is the only way to go, for us 2011+ models that don’t have an fm antenna wire. Thanks @WaveyKat for being the trail blazer here. I’m sure I’ll hardly ever use FM, but its nice to know it works as it should. ��
i am am very happy with the purchase of this unit. Hands down worth it!!! If only they had one for my Audi too, I wouldn’t want a new car......lol

Mine is doing well. I especially like the improved sound output. However, I lost the view on the backup camera after a month of excellent functionality. I redid the splicing of the RCA cable connection but that did not resolve the issue.
I have also noticed CarPlay disconnecting spontaneously and reconnecting automatically. But the connection and re- connection take a while and there is an instruction on the manual on speeding up the connection. I tried this and it asks for a password. AVINUSA says they are not aware about such password requirements- but other forums online have mentioned 1314 (which does not work on mine)

Finally got around to connecting this headunit to the SIRIUS antenna and can confirm that it also fixes the reception problem on a 2009...

How did you reseat the cable? I have tried moving it around, aligning it to sit more 'straight', redone the splicing, but I only get it to work intermittently. AVINUSA suggested there might be a loose connection. Took it to CarToys and they couldn't find any problems- their suggestion is to install a separate aftermarket camera.

Thanks. The 126 is for the headunit. The CarPlay adapter requires a different factory password. The settings you see above are for the CarPlay adapter- you may not see them if you don't use the adapter.

did not disconnect the battery
I didn't disconnect for the install, but eventually disconnected the battery because there's not a good way without MB-Star to set the clock. I did it at noon because the clock resets to 12:00.

Resetting clock
If you pull the fuse for the instrument cluster at 12 noon or 12 midnight and put the fuse back in, the clock will reset to 12 I’m assuming you talking about the analog clock in the dash.
My 2008 ML 350 has the instrument cluster fuse on the panel on the passenger side by the glove box and I think it’s the bottom fuse, I have done it many times nothing else on the instrument cluster resets except the clock.

Thank you guys for the responses. After much debate, trial and error with the Bluetooth issues, I've decided to change the HU. I will be doing the install this weekend with a different Android HU and will start a new post with details once I'm done. Wish me luck!
