Description:
Hopefully I am allowed to include links here. I am selling the 12.3-inch Ultra-Thin version of this screen for W205 and X253 vehicles.

I'll include all of the parts and the original box. The screen doesn't have any scratches, and the firmware has been updated to the latest version as of this post. It was only installed for about four months.
You are probably going to ask why I am selling. I am going to be honest. I felt that the compromises you make with these screens wasn't worth it for me. But I'm very OCD about certain things and I think most people would be fine with the compromises. All of the good things you hear about these screens are absolutely true.
I have a 2018 GLC 43 AMG, which is a kind of obscure implementation of the NTG operating system. I have the NTG 5.5 dash but the OEM screen is the NTG 5.1 version. I think it is commonly referred to as NTG 5.2, but sources online are unclear. I think this particular implementation makes the screen more quirky than it otherwise would be. My biggest complaint with it is that my phone will continuously try to connect to the screen after shutting the car off. The Android Auto popup will randomly pop up on my phone when I'm in my house. My driveway is right next to my house so my phone is always in connection range. I have read everything online about these screens and nobody else has reported this, so I really think it must be an issue with my car. But regardless, if you park your car a fair distance from your dwelling, you probably won't have any issues.
I'm very flexible on price. I think my asking price is already a fantastic deal, but feel free to make an offer. I'm not going to take any returns due to incompatibilities so please make sure this is compatible with your car. Also feel free to ask me anything about it. I can point you to the best installation videos on YouTube. I feel that no single video was perfect, but watching a few of them put all of the pieces together. The key thing to note is that you don't need to install the GPS antenna if you only plan on using CarPlay/Android Auto. The videos that show the installer running the antenna up through the trim on the top of the windshield is totally unnecessary. But you are free to install it if you want. I didn't even take the antenna out of the bag.
I'll write a response later today when I have time. But I put the biggest compromise in the listing. After shutting the car off, my phone stayed connected to the screen for a while. I guess because the car is still giving power to the screen for a while. It made it so I couldn't make a phone call without turning off my Bluetooth and wifi because the phone thought it was still in Android Auto. It would also continue to play my podcast in the background, so when I got in the car the next time, my podcast would be way ahead of where I left off.
It's a pretty minor annoyance and not an issue at all if you park your car a good distance from your home. But it's still pretty annoying. Like I said, nobody else reports this from all the research I have done, so it might be a weird quirk with my somewhat rare NTG (the OEM OS) version
