There is no way to have CarPlay in the 2007 MY.

I found this (Google is your friend):

NO IDEA how well it works. Seriously. I know nothing whatsoever about the company or its products. And note that it doesn't actually add CarPlay to the system, it just gives you a video input to show your phone's screen on the display. Knowing nothing whatsoever about CarPlay, I don't know how that compares to "real" built-in CarPlay.

If you opt for the Android replacement screen found on aliexpress and EBay, there is a CarPlay dongle that I have seen work in another S550. The ******* thing in the previous post ... best to search this forum for *******. Lots of promises but no happy customers that I've found.

If you search this forum for Android you will see a lot of information about the possibilities for our cars.

Looks like I cannot even spell the name associated with that video above, for good reason. I would look elsewhere.

I fear that, in reality, this is not going to happen in a way that you will find acceptable. I hope I am wrong as I would love to do the same in my 08. Please keep me posted and I wish you luck.

This is true if you're referring to a solution from MB. However, the aftermarket is full of solutions, though they may not be fully integrated.

Caveat emptor...Google the company, there are numerous threads in different car forums with nightmares about this guy.

Here are a few more options for you. As someone else previously mentioned, you can also replace your monitor with an Android based monitor that will allow you to run CarPlay. There is a minimum Android version to run CarPlay, but 8.1 definitely will do the job.
