CarPlay for X166
#127
I finally installed a CarPlay box, I have a 15 GL NTG 4.7 H/K system w/ RES…went with the Road-trip box from Amazon. Big thanks to all on this forum for all the detailed info regarding this topic. After activating AUX in the engineering menu, I was still unable to get any audio but finally resolved the issue after connecting the ground wires from new harness together. Installed a firestick in the CarPlay box during install as the roadtrip box has a HDMI port. Happy to report that the firestick seems to interact well with the roadtrip box using Wifi through my phone via mobile hot spot. Old command system continues to work as it previously did with the RES. Attached is info of the roadtrip box version purchased through Amazon.
How did you connect the ground wires from new harness together. Please

Obviously I'm assuming you have double checked all the wiring. Once that's complete verify that the little toggle switches on the side of the unit are set properly for your 7" screen. These units are universal for all MB 4.5/4/7 vehicles and there are several different screen sizes in use.
FWIW, here's the English manual for the identical unit from indiwork: http://indiwork.co.kr/archive/manual...NTG4.5_ENG.pdf

I have the system recognized by my phone and usb charging but no screen.

I was able to use the toggle switch setting from this link:

Toggle #3 #6 #8 On
And use member cguerrero's steps to get it going: https://mbworld.org/forums/m-class-w...ml#post8091938

Head Units? Advice requested
Mine is a 2016 GL, it has a command NTFA4.5, which I am told is not internet acceptable, instead of going through these bootlegged repairs, if I find a Command Unit 4.7 - 5.1 wouldn't this solve the problem ?
Or open a can of other problems?

I ended up with the road top version from amazon and I get the black screen, in aux but nothing works. I played with the dip switches while waiting for a replay from china. Unfortunately I also have a hazard light malfunction showing on the screen as well. Hoping to get these folks on the whatsup app here shortly.

Resurrecting an old thread but I'm having issues with the Road Top box in my '14 GL63. The box came with no instructions so I did my best with the toggle switches etc and eventually got my screen to switch to carplay etc with the back button. It was working but I noticed I lost my SAT radio option so went back in and installed the setting as per previous comments in this thread. I put everything together and I'm left with either a blank screen or various lines/colors when I try to switch over to the box. I re-rechecked all connections. Any suggestions are appreciated while I'm waiting on Road Tops assistance from another time zone.
And if anyone is having the hazard malfunction warning, ensure you re-plug the small connector back in on the right side of the head unit or there'll be no power going to your hazard/heated seat etc switches.
