Hi Great video of installation. I have followed your video and installed kit but unable to use silver colour (round) joystick located in between two seats. I have connected A/B with A and then B but still no Audio and joystick works.

Hi, so how do you end up changing the start up boot screen?

Desde España, muy buen video, me ha gustado mucho. Estoy instalando esta pantalla multimedia Android, y me es imposible meter todos los cables detrás de la radio original del vehículo, no hay espacio materialmente. ¿podrías detallar como lo has conseguido montar nuevamente?. muchas gracias por tu ayuda.

It's great job!

Hello, I got the Avin unit from your video. Thanks for the recommendation. I just wanted to ask you if you happen to know how to convert the speedometer from the dashboard from kmh to mph. I reached out to Avin support but it takes forever to get a response. Thanks.

Man preciate the install video!! You just saved me a bunch of headache! Just put this same radio in a 2011 e350! By the way, do you know what the acc-in wire goes to and also the LVDS wire that comes on the android harness? Just wanted to know. Thanks again

If you have a bovee Bluetooth unit can you use that instead of auxiliary?

@Sam Abraham Yes but I just bought off Amazon a AMI cable to Female 3.5mm Aux cable. So that should solve my problem right. Instead of choosing AUX, I'll choose Media Interface cable on New screen right? I just want to know why my factory system has the option for me to select AUX input.... its NOT grayed out. Why would this be? Believe me, I have looked everywhere for the AUX INPUT and I can't find it. I mean any help here?

Hey there! So far its been pretty good, I've already used it on one road trip to AZ already and it didn't have an issue w my GPS or music for the whole trip. Compared to the previous one (Mediatek processors I believe with less RAM), this one runs a lot better, almost no lag. The other one was ok, but it had its moments. The one issue I'm still trying to resolve is that the volume doesn't go high enough. Like its fine, but I know it should go louder when I wanna blast the music. My radio and SD card still go to the highest volume, but not the android for whatever reason. I'm going to contact AVIN about it, probably a setting somewhere, as my last unit did this without a problem. Good luck with all of the maintenance! And I'm Sri Lankan haha

All I can think is that either the harness isnt connected properly (don't think thats likely as the screen probably wouldnt turn on at all if the harness wasnt connected well) or that the android is trying to connect to the wrong NTG system. Does ur sound work through the android? If so, you may need to dive into the android settings and see what NTG its set to work with. If you have a facelift W204 like me (2012+) then you'll have to select NTG4.5 or NTG 4.7. Prefacelift I believe is NTG 4.0 (2008-2011). If your sound doesnt work at all, then see if pressing the "ON" button on the car's original button panel makes a difference. I know that might sound silly but I've forgotten to do that a few times lol

I haven't changed any settings at all. I don't have Bass up crazy, I can put my ear down to door speaker and up to tweeter and its deff distorted badly. but call me crazy, it seems to come and go sometimes I travel it seems fine, but most times it sounds bad to my ears, Others may not notice as badly as I do, But I can hear clear as day. It's only when I use android auto , or apple auto connect. if I connect the mobile hotspot and use my data from phone and connect Spotify, pandora, my music, It's perfect sound, so I'm so confused. Does anyone out here have any ideas as to why or what could be causing this problem??? Thanks, I haven't checked the factory settings on the Screen settings yet. when I switch back to factory radio and CD audio it sounds Fine too. only Android Auto/Apple Auto, which is how I normally connect mostly it seems easiest to do. 2014 W204 C300

Hey James! Thanks for ur input, always good to hear other peoples experiences. From what you describe, the issue must have something to do with the connection between your phone (Samsung or iPhone) and the Android screen. Does your Android Screen have built in CarPlay/Android Auto, or do you use a Carlinkit external USB dongle like me? With the dongle I personally haven't had any sound issues with CarPlay, although Android Auto can be finicky sometimes with the aspect ratio. If you have the external dongle you can update the firmware of both the app and the dongle, and they do update them pretty frequently so that can help bugs a lot of the time from my uses with them over the last couple years. If its built in I honestly don't have an answer as all of my Android screens haven't had that, seems to be a newer feature. Keep us updated!
