Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Upgrade for S-Class W221 – Keep Your Original COMAND

Hi S-Class W221 owners,

We’re CarpuTech, a professional manufacturer specializing in innovative upgrade solutions for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Many S-Class W221 models (2006–2012, NTG 3.0 / NTG 3.5 systems) came with the factory COMAND system, but do not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. For owners who want to modernize their infotainment system without replacing the original screen, we developed a Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto interface module.

This solution integrates directly with the factory COMAND system and display, making it an ideal upgrade for vehicles that originally did not come with CarPlay or Android Auto.

Key Features:

✅ Wireless Apple CarPlay
✅ Wireless Android Auto
✅ Supports AirPlay & Mirror Link
✅ Compatible with NTG 3.0 / NTG 3.5 systems
✅ Retains OEM controls (rotary knob, steering wheel controls)
✅ Plug & Play installation
✅ Keeps all original vehicle functions

After installation, you can easily access:
  • Apple Maps / Google Maps / Waze navigation
  • Spotify / Apple Music
  • Hands-free calls and messaging
  • Siri or Google Assistant voice control
Everything runs smoothly on the factory screen, giving your S-Class a modern infotainment experience while maintaining the original luxury OEM look.

Product Link:
https://www.carputech.com/products/c...rplay-function

If anyone here owns a W221 without factory CarPlay and is considering an upgrade, feel free to share your thoughts or ask any questions. We’re happy to help with compatibility and installation guidance.

— CarpuTech Team

You haven't answered a single point from my reply to the last time you posted this.

The lack of a corporate address in any of your information implies you have something to hide.

A legitimate company with a decent product wouldn't hide behind an email address.

Reporting as a potential scam.

Sorry, may I ask where you inquired about something? Was it a private message? I don't seem to have received it. I didn't even notice that our company's address is not listed on our website until you pointed it out. LOL. However, none of our other websites list it either. But I’ve already passed this suggestion to the colleague in charge of the website. Although, they might not implement it, since our headquarters is in Shenzhen, not the US, so it doesn’t really make much sense. If you suspect us of fraud because of this, there’s really no need to worry. Have you ever seen a scammer who pays and stays active in the community? Haha!

I posted them publically on your last 'adverts' for the screen.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions regarding your location. Even if your products were of interest to me, and you sent me a RHD screen and one of these units free of charge I still wouldn't fit them to my own car.

For the doubters, the attached is hardly a ringing endorsement of this company, their products or support.

Also your product page is misleading, as it implies that some W221s had CarPlay/Android Auto capability from new. They didn't. Your installation kit is useless for the W221 which suggests you have zero understanding of how the car is assembled. And if you don't understand this fundamental point, how can anyone take the product seriously?

Thank you for sharing the link with me, it made me aware of this post. I’ll make sure to reply to them. I’ve reviewed their conversation, and based on the description, the poster’s system should be NTG5.0. Our NTG5 system is already quite mature, with a very low refund and after-sales rate, so this issue should not be happening. I’ll investigate this further to get to the bottom of it.

I am sure they'll appreciate it 😂

Whilst you're so keen to address previous oversights, here's the thread I asked most of my questions...

https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w221/925398-s-class-w221-youtubers-wanted-o-get-free-android-screen-installation-review.html

I also raised a couple on your 'generous' YouTube tester request.

I see you're now a site sponsor. Don't think for one moment that gives you any credibility.

Just to add, I don't need you to 'like' my posts.
