Infotainment screen to touchscreen

I purchased a 2017 GLE 350 and would like replace the infotainment screen with a touchscreen. Does anyone know of one to get that uses SiriusXM, CarPlay and iPhone?

Have you searched Crutchfield? Nearly all touchscreen units today have CarPlay. Many are Sirius capable. The question is to find a unit that mechanically/physically replaces the COMAND screen.

What have you come up with so far using Google or the search button on this site?

Thanks, I didn’t see what I need. There is an Android head unit from China but I’m a little leary of purchase...

You have found what there is - which is a hack-a-thon replacing your OE screen with a China Android "based" system... if you lived in Shanghai you would do it in a heart beat ... and 4-5 guys hacking your MB would get it done in a hr.

If you have a stock '17 with CarPlay - why change to Touchscreen ?

Stock infotainment system is not user friendly for Apple carplay.
I am thinking of the samething as well. Apple carplay is best with touch screen, its fast and convenient.

Does anyone has link to the Android touch screen?

I think this is the link but I’m not sure if it has all of the features I want
and if it will work in my 2017 GLE 350.
