You realize you may have one of the only Android units with the proper car icon for the M/GLE? Most everyone else (myself included), has to use an icon for the GLC, E, or G wagon. Can you post a link specifically to the one you bought?

Is it the "MEKEDE" brand?
If it's MEKEDE, the aliexpress page says its an Android 7.1 unit, but never says anything about Android Auto. So does this use Android Auto, or it is just an Android based OS?

It's a screen with Android OS. You can install apps from the Play Store, including Android Auto

is the bird eye view a kit you buy or did you engineer it yourself. I'm impressed either way since i need this for my ML. I had it on my FX-37 Infiniti and it was a huge step back going to the MB only backup camera. this

I think that you have to check the wires before changing the LEDs.
