Rclass specific Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto

Works perfectly. Integrates with the steering wheel controls and Harman Kardon system with no issues as kit includes MOST and Canbus decoder. Two hours to install. Made specifically for Rclass and really modernizes the infotainment.

Without the Comand, you need to go to a Mercedes dealer and have them program the ability to change your clock from the steering wheel - they charged me an hour to do the coding. Otherwise, you will not be able to adjust your clock. This is the only feature you lose from replacing the Comand unit but easy to address.

Purchased on AliExpress. USD$400.






Digital Sound processing to better use the factory amplifier. Great sound!

Looks great! Do you have a direct link? Does it include a CD/DVD slot? Can you (or a future owner) reinstall Comand to take it back to original if desired?

No CD/DVD slot but can be easily removed to reinstall original Comand unit. 100% reversible

Hi, please see attached pic. The unit comes with Canbus decoder so you only need to add the Most unit available from the same seller. Then it’s plug and play. It’s fully reversible.

@rbtmak i have an technical issue.
How you connected your radio to most?
My "most" have only 2 chinch (chanel left and right) and radio have 5 separately chinch (FL, FR, RR, RL, Sub)
I connected "most" to FL and FR but when i steering amplifier it play only front (natural) and i didn't hear woofer in car.

I thinking about cross right sides, and left sides to one chinch but what with woofer again cross to one channel? But i think that "most" can burn - to many voltage (signal) or can burn radio...

By the way, my radio works with clock in dashboard, i can set from radio time which i see on dashboard

Thank you in advance from answer

Curious if anyone bought this. Does this connect into the fiber optic network? Some of the navis seem to go directly into optical ...

Hmm, very very interested. However I wonder if this unit works with my 63, mine has side view camera built-in.

Side view OEM or aftermarket? I didn’t realise MB had any side view equipped cars in 2007.

Side view MB factory.
Notice the button layout is different also. I tried to change logo when startup so that it shows AMG instead of MB-star, but I got no factory settings menu by pressing 3-button at the same time for some seconds.
I guess our version gets something different from the rest of the world.

Damn wow that’s unique.

I’d say you’ll most definitely would lose that if you went with an Android solution. Potentially the dash mounted one I linked might work - but I haven’t seen if that one wires into the optical network (and I don’t think it does, because if I’m not mistaken, you don’t add devices to an optical network - you replace them). Therefore you’d probably need to hook it up via stereo, which kinda sucks.

Yeah. That is the only thing keeping me away from updating the unit to the 2020s spec.

This aftermarket deck was not compatible with the factory rear camera, but it came with a new camera to replace in the same spot.
I imagine you would lose your side cameras if you changed out the head unit.
