Modern connectivity while keeping your original Mercedes functions
Upgrade your factory infotainment system with a larger 12.3-inch HD touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Designed for compatible Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the NTG4.0 system, this Linux-based screen gives you convenient access to navigation, music, calls and compatible phone apps while retaining the vehicle’s original controls and factory functions.
Once initially paired, CarPlay or Android Auto can reconnect automatically when you start the vehicle, making it easy to use your everyday phone features on a much larger display.
Vehicle compatibility
Designed for selected Mercedes-Benz models equipped with the NTG4.0 infotainment system, generally from 2008–2011, including compatible:
- C-Class
- E-Class
- GLK
- CLS
- SLK
- W204
- W212
- W218
- Other Mercedes-Benz models using a compatible NTG4.0 system
Compatibility is determined by the vehicle's factory infotainment system, not just the model or year. Please confirm that your vehicle has NTG4.0 before ordering.
If you are unsure, contact us with your vehicle model, year and a photo of the existing dashboard/system so compatibility can be checked before purchase.
This is an aftermarket accessory and is not a genuine Mercedes-Benz product.

Keep your original Mercedes system
The upgrade is designed to work alongside your existing NTG4.0 system rather than removing its functionality.
You can continue accessing compatible factory vehicle menus and original functions using the vehicle's original controller and buttons.
Please note: The original Mercedes factory interface does not become touchscreen-enabled. Touch operation is available within the new CarPlay/Android Auto interface, while original factory menus continue to use the vehicle's standard controls.
Audio connection
Audio can be integrated through compatible factory Bluetooth or AUX, depending on the equipment fitted to your vehicle.
If using factory Bluetooth for music, your original system must support Bluetooth audio streaming, not only Bluetooth phone calls.
For vehicles using AUX, please make sure AUX is available and operating correctly in the original Mercedes system before installation.
Hands-free calling
The system includes an aftermarket microphone for hands-free calling.
On compatible configurations using the vehicle's original Bluetooth audio system, the factory microphone may also continue to be used.
Plug-and-play installation
Designed for integration with the factory wiring without cutting the original harness.
Installation requirements can differ between Mercedes models and factory configurations, so professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with automotive infotainment systems.
Installation assistance may also be available where required.
Important information
Linux operating system: This is a dedicated CarPlay and Android Auto display rather than an Android tablet. Apps cannot be downloaded or installed directly onto the screen.
Original interface: Your factory Mercedes menus remain controlled through the original buttons/controller and do not gain touchscreen functionality.
Camera compatibility: Compatible factory and standard aftermarket reversing cameras are supported. Aftermarket 360-degree camera systems are not supported.
Check NTG version before ordering: Mercedes vehicles of similar years can use different infotainment systems, so please do not order based on model year alone.
