Hello all!
Quick question. Is there a way to make Android Auto actually use the full 10.25 inches of the multimedia screen instead of just about 2/3 of the screen?

Vladimir Livson

I do not believe there is a way. From what I read new MBUX 2.0 give you full screen access for Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Would be nice if older model years can be updated to MBUX 2.0, but I am not sure if hardware is compatible with it.

Well that sucks.

Wow check this out. https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ml#post8734106

This little unit goes into the usb-c port and you get wireless Android auto and it's cast at full screen.

The video on the thread is for wireless android auto dongle, however it is installed on Command not MBUX system.

If you decide to try it out, please post here how it worked out for you.

Thanks.

D'oh. I hadn't noticed that. Oh well. I'll let you guys know if it works.

I tried a wireless adapter and it does nothing to resolve the smaller screen issue.

kgzero

It didn't work.

kgzero

Tried different setting and changing resolutions via Android Auto developer setting. Nothing changed except the layout.

I prefer the layout using the adapter as it displays the recently used icons below the map, effectively making the map look widescreen. And seems to use a higher resolution

The normal layout just using my phone hooked up to the car looks like a 4x3 box that is zoomed in (so lower resolution?) with the icons to the left of the map. So the map looks smaller to my eyes.
Just FYI

Sorry, i assume the car doesn't have wireless android auto? It needs to be plugged in for it to work correct?

Vladimir Livson

That's correct.

I recently test drove a 2023 GLC - Android Auto is now wireless and fills the full screen. I believe it's running MBUX 2.0.

Hi All,

Do you know if there is already any way for GLB 200 2022 to get Android Auto fullscreen?
Anyone tested any of those external wireless unit? any of them any good with getting the full screen? Thanks

I'd be delighted to be able to MIRROR my Android Screen on the 2024 GLC300, along with the ability to touch apps and open them on the vehicle's big screen. Google MAPS is the only app that is included with the Android Auto software. I use several others in the car that Android Auto will not put on the big middle screen, which is why I want to mirror my phone to that screen. But thus far, I haven't found a way to do so with this year's GLC300. Older cars only.

Hello, Mercedes has deliberately limited the display of Carplay so that it cannot be displayed over the full width of the screen.
So if you want to show AA/CarPlay in full screen mode you will need a carplay module kit special for Mercedes.
