Android Auto or Apple Carplay

I have a 2013 S550. Any suggestions about an Android Auto or Apple Carplay out there? Wireless is preferable. Any help will be welcome.

This is the unit I had installed into my 2013 S500.

Very happy with how it works and its integration into the existing screen and car controls.

I simply switch between Command and Carplay by a long press on the Tel/Navi button.

I didn’t source it Togar, it was recommended to me by the car audio store that installed it.
I am living in Abu Dhabi and found an installer in Sharjah, but it was worth the drive.

They installed it in about 50 minutes, while I waited and cost me about $300, including installation.

I suggest you approach a car Audio store. It is the sort of thing they don’t think to advertise.
I had the same unit installed in my wife’s 2014 Audi S6. That took about 2 hours as it was harder to
get in behind the dashboard.

The Audi is also fully integrated and uses the existing controls. It is brilliant how they use the existing
screens and switch between car and CarPlay.

Good luck

How about some more installed pics from the dash and some of the screen layouts?
