Fellas -

I rode with a buddy in a 2016 GLC63 who has the ACP in his ride and it was fantastic! Is there any way to retrofit / update so the 2015 has the same? TIA

I don’t have this. Was searching around and found out that company had a solution to add apple car play to our cars. You can contact the company directly and I’m sure they can give you more info on this product.

Not sure what you are seeing but please do share.

I called them this morning and verified with their customer service rep that indeed the unit does exactly what is advertised and they offer a moneyback guarantee if we turned in 14 days minus a 25% restocking fee.

Now o wits just a matter of deciding if the ease of CarPlay is worth $550 or not

Search around for *******, you'll see a lot of unhappy customers scammed of their money. As well as the vendor creating fake profiles to falsely promote the product.

Edit: Even the forum edits out the company name, above.

Thanks Domr - I looked thru the links and they all seem to be from 2014-16. I called the company and the Rep explained that they had launched too early and had delivery and customer service issues. I am not advocating for N A V T O O L as I have no affliation or a dog in the fight but every business goes through changes and these guys might have their ***** together.

The N A V* website has this 'buy American' verbage that makes me think the owner is trying to hide his Russian roots. Call me a skeptic, but his track record isn't great. My installer tells me he's had success recently with their stuff, but I chose a wireless Carplay solution ( from Joyeauto ) that was actually cheaper than the N A V product. My 2015 E400 has the NTG4x and the Joyeauto product works great. Fast wifi connection. I haven't taken any long trips with it yet, but around town, it's been great.

Thanks dor for the new info. Looks to be a UK based company. I’ve been in touch with them and have sent them my info to see if they offer the CarPlay for the S class. I’ll report back.

Thanks again for your input.

I ordered this retrofit unit and plan to install it within the next week or two:

It should work for both the coupe and sedan.

Rather than keep posting it in many places - see my post here. I was able to successfully add CarPlay with the Joyeauto solution:
