Upgrading display + Backup camera install (Please advise)
Hello Gents
I own ML-350 W166, my car didn't come with backup camera nor navigation (although I have navigation button). I am thinking of buying the below unit and install it instead of the original one. also I attached the backup camera that I'm attending to purchase.

my questions are:
- Do you recommend the Android display that I chose? did anyone has it installed?
- Do I need a decoder for the backup camera? is this the right setup for me?
Thanks

hameed sometimes it helps to post in a forum with more traffic... this one is pretty slow.... i sometimes crosspost to other forums if my issue is not directly related to my model....

Also, check forum for similar car (GL) where you have 9 pages discussion for same topic (search for '8.4 screen'). As short answer, I have added 8.4 screen. It is working but it is not integrated and fast as I expected.
If you have any specific question, I'll do my best to answer it.
