Jakeu

we'll know next week if it works ill make a video

Mike5215

Yeah, I think we've already seen the video. What is your objection to sharing a link in the meantime? Intended or otherwise the secrecy gives the impression you're hiding something and attempting to control the information.

Jakeu

carplay works confirmed

superpop

Do tell, where is the video?

DaveW68

Yeah....Android Auto works for me too....on my phone.

Exactly!

Mike5215

Bull****.

DaveW68

The only thing that Jakeu/Vladamir/Borris/Borat might have working is some sort of phone mirroring device that will pop anything that is on his phone to his screen. There are plenty of vendors who sell that, including MidCity Engineering. But he certainly does not have any kind of Apple Carplay functionality through COMAND....ie listening to music from his phone to COMAND through his car speakers and having control via the COMAND knob, sending directions to COMAND, uploading maps, etc.

1) I found a CarPlay retrofit for the 221. I will not share a link until I can confirm it works. Also I will post a video.

2) It works!

3) *crickets*

Jakeu

it works i promise

trying to figure out how to upload the video

Jakeu

superpop

How about a video with the phone being controlled in the video.

Jakeu

you do know once yuo connect phone to carplay, screen is locked and it just displays carplay logo

DaveW68

This Jakeu jackass works for *******. I have to assume that he's the same moron that was harassing Mike last year and who was quickly banned as a vendor on this board.

Watch this ******* video and listen to the voice. Then compare it to the video that Jackass uploaded. The tactics some of these idiots use to drum up business is pretty pathetic.

Look who's talking about themselves again

DaveW68

Jakeu or whatever you're calling yourself this time....you've been exposed. You're nothing but a two bit con artist looking to scam money from some unsuspecting board contributors....just like you've done before. Do everybody here a favor and hit the bricks.

Jakeu

the fact that jellyfish survived for 650 million years with no brains is good news for stupid people like you

Jakeu

I now have carplay in my S-class and it's cool as hell, compared to my Ford f150 joystick is better than touchscreen.

DaveW68

I see that your lame attempts at insults hasn't changed much since Nov, 2015. Check out the book "Insults for Dummies". There's some pretty good stuff in there to help you up your game.

I just like to remind everyone that in 2008 the 1st generation iPhone was barely a year old. CarPlay was released in 2014 six years after the 2008 S Class was built. If you get CarPlay to work in a 2008 it is a testament to MB engineering.

DaveW68

Yeah....they were at least 7 years ahead of Apple by installing iOS in their cars before Apple ever developed it. Now that's what I call over-engineering.

Oh wait....MB didn't come out with BT music streaming in the highest model until 2014. Never mind.

Jakeu

CarPlay Box basically connects to the back of the radio, then iPhone lightning cable and microphone gets plugged in.

set the radio to AUX, btw carplay box activated AUX audio input,

press tel/nav button 2 times and you get carplay on the screen, controlled via comand idrive

P.S. carplay is not inside the radio its a piece of hardware

Mike5215

Correct. The guy in the video is Vitaliy Sokolov, the CEO and only employee of "*******". He lost his sponsorship here after we exposed him for posing as a forum admin and attempting to intimidate forum members by threatening to ban them for questioning his claims about a CarPlay retrofit. He's subsequently been chased off other boards for collecting deposits on a pre sale group buy but not delivering. He's a con man.

BTW, I love how the demo video on the ******* site is of a new E Class, which comes standard with CarPlay from the factory. Classic!

Jakeu

PROOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF?

you are a troll and have no idea what you are talking about, who was ripped off where, WTF are you talking about

Mike5215

Wrong answer Vitaliy. And remember what happened the last time you insisted I prove something?

Jakeu

I'm not sure who you are talking to here, i hope you can show a proof of what you are talking about. Cause i think the only con artist here is you.
