My 2017 C350e S205 equipped with Audio 20 NTG5 has me researching how to install Android Auto. Any feedback from those who have installed it in a comparable vehicle would be greatly appreciated.
In no particular sequence, here are my current thoughts:
You may get a new head from AliExpress, but there are a lot of choices and people have different opinions on them.
I haven't found any information on how to do this or where to purchase the parts, so I'm going to have to replace the head (and what other bits, maybe?) with later ones that enable Android Auto.
Install the integrated automation box; nevertheless, I am unsure that the car's DAB radio and the satnav directions can coexist.
Using another AliExpress purchase, install a standalone Android Auto screen. • The quickest solution, however it would be visually strange to have two dashboard displays.
Put the phone in a standby mode alongside the original head and make do with the reduced display.
Something I haven't considered yet...?
