No video after car play unit installation

I’ve bought a new car play unit for my 2014 w166 and installed it using the videos I could find online. The trouble is I have no video (black screen) after the new module installation.

Does anybody know what could be going on?

I’m in contact with the seller, but the communication takes days after each message ...

I think the main harness is broken as it started to work after I unplugged it and re-plugged. However, now the original unit works, but when switching in car play mode, it only shows some color stripes.
