Ya wolf a link would be great. Wireless Apple car play would be nice. I don’t have the external rca jacks on my car because no rear rear seat media package. But this morning on the way to tennis I was running late and put just voice Waze over my music and it worked fine. Good thing I did as it picked out a shortcut.
But yes the service writer at the Tampa dealer keyed in my vin and said nope. I’ll check with Sarasota just to be sure. But I am excited to put my Samsung pad on a 15 dollar cd mount holder and tie that into the second iusb. I’m am totally really liking this car. The 9 speed is very smooth and you just don’t get the kinda torque like this car had out of the v6 cabrio I traded for this car. It was a pretty much even trade and the right move for me. I thought about a left over 19 that I coulda got 20 percent off sticker but it still woulda been my car plus 40 grand. Not worth it for car play and 14 more horsepower lol when this car is like new with 16k miles.

Keep in mind that this is an installation on a 2016 AMG GTS, a very different setup, but the process of installation from a cable perspective will be similarly involved. I think this is a good solution for anyone looking for better navigation and music (for selecting and navigating playlists etc.)
Here is the the file from another forum member TurboFly, who was nice enough to document his installation efforts
Here is the thread in which it was posted.

Again, not a S-Class but the process will be similar. At least you know it can be done and works...
It would be great for one member here to document their install and share it.

Ya beautiful car. Good to be back in a S class. One option I really like in this car over my 2015 S550 I had is the surround view camera. Whoever ordered my 2015 s550 really screwed up by not checking the 900 dollar surround view camera option. Almost a necessity in these cars with the low front end fascia. I do really like the amg line sport option too. 5900 dollar option but the car looks so much better especially with the 20 inch amg line rims. Not really sure if the brakes are any different with the sport option but the rotors seem to look bigger than I remember them on my 2015 with no sport package. Man this is a heavy car though at 5200 lbs. it’s a miracle they get 27 mpg on the highway. I think my 2015 was a tiny bit better on gas which I was surprised at as this car has the 9 speed trans vs the 7 speed on the 2015. I dunno maybe the bigger wheels.
