Let me know if you figure out how to do that...I have the same display and the currently useless display on the right side. (This is the same as the useless dashboard display) I also notice that the provided clock is an hour off.....like it's not recognizing daylight savings time. My car's clock is correct, but this now one is an hour late. Also, I've noticed that sometimes when I have the mercedes display up (like what you have above), sometimes on its own it jumps back to the android general home page. Weird! I do like the touchscreen larger display and the iphone car play screen. This larger screen is nice but quirky a bit and nowhere near perfectly integrated.

So I got the above fixed. Changed to Android CAN to NTG5.1 and set time to car time. Both these helped fix things.

I’m very interested in this, but concerned about audio quality for CarPlay. It has to go to a 3.5mm headphone jack and into aux?

Audio is perfect with car play. I listen to sirius all the time. No problems with quality.

Wireless car play works with no issues but doesn't connect automatically like my X7, it requires manual intervention and it's kinda wonky... I don't love it and actually don't use any of the functionality it offers. I just have it for the aesthetics. I never hop in my car and have 1-2 minutes to screw around with my phone and head unit. I just need to hop in and go.

Can you share installation instructions? Can you also share what your vent replacement looks like? I didn’t see it in the review photos.
