Hi friends - 2013 GL450 in the Los Angeles area here. Wondering if anyone can refer a car audio guy that can retrofit an x166 GLS CarPlay touchscreen into an x166 GL. I have asked around and it seems like this needs a specialist. I would prefer OEM but willing to use aftermarket if OEM is impossible. Thanks https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbworld.org-vbulletin/1170x1104/790ac63b_376d_4e7f_a7b9_a41dac1da2c2_40b398608ef2ee512ccf64a78a7146c110544c4e.jpeg There seems to be 2 options

Forget it.

You basically have two other choices for CarPlay.

1) Retrofit an Android based touch screen with CarPlay. (thread)

2) Add a small aftermarket module to enable CarPlay (non-touch) using the OEM screen and Comand knob like this:

(there are multiple 'brands' of apparently identical hardware)
