SL550
Apple CarPlay
I just bought my first MB, a 2013 SL550, and it is awesome! I want to add Apple CarPlay and need to hear from others as to what they would recommend!

2013 SL550
I did this with my 2013. I don't have any "install" skills and it was nerve wracking, to say the least. I love the result, though CarPlay is quirky. Best part is that, outside of the little box in the glove compartment, everything looks stock.

One suggestion, take LOTS of pictures when taking apart your center console. It will help you put things back together.

Good luck! Let us know how it comes out.
