Upgrade to Android Auto?

Is there a way to add android auto to a car? We have a 2004 E320 4matic wagon and a 2012 Gl 450 4matic. Esp on the Gl 450, we'd love to add android auto to it. We both have Samsung phones. Is this possible?
Thanks

There are ways to an Android computer integrated into a Mercedes vehicle, you see a lot of these types of integrations from Russian installers.

I actually have a pieced together kit for NTG 4.5 cars to add a touch screen overlay and an Android computer.

However, I never got around to installing it because I ended up using a Raspberry Pi to run many of the functions I would've used an Android computer for...

A gaggle of MB's
On short form - No

There are select installers that in theory convert your 2012 to a "mirror system" which will show your Android phone screen on the main display and you use handset to navigate thru function - but that is a rare and expensive bird.

For iPhone or Android integration - you are best considering a newer model Mercedes that has that new feature.
