@@johandijkstra3273 Hey man, as far as I am aware and have tired, its one tool per vehicle. Once you activate it on one, it registers to that audio system.
It look like you haven't updated this video in a couple of years, so I hope you see it. Both the links you provide are for tools that work for Mercedes GLA up to the 2017 model and I have a 2018. All of them warn not to use it with a model that isn't on the compatible vehicle list. I've searched all over Amazon and can't find anything for after 2017 models. Are you aware of this tool that's compatible with a 2018 MB GLA? Thanks
Thank you, it was work. However, when my wife connected to Bluetooth on the next day, the operation interface returned to the same as before. Even I used the OBD tool again, I could no longer use CarPlay again 😢.
I just got a w176 2017 and want to activate this. But I will need to remove it from the car in one year when I return the car. Is this possible? Also will this get me into trouble if I ever need to go to the garage with this car? Thanks for the video steps are clear. :)
Hi! This worked for me, quick and easy. I do have 1 question, can you enable multiple Benz with the same OBD Dongle? Or is my obd dongle now connected to my car in some way? (CLA Shooting Brake 2017 - X117)
I got a Mercedes A 2017 w176. I can go in DIAG but when i connect my phone white a cable nothing happens. He is not going in Apple CarPlay menu. Some advice?
Nice, i have bought the same one as you, installed it on the car. Android auto and car play ate in the system menu. Also when going into system via end call +1+# carplay is on. Which wasn't before. I connected my s21 ultra after it asks to connect device and the message goes away but then nothing. From your other video you said it works better with apple carplay. When i connect the apple device it says * activating. But then doesn't connect. I hope i am missing something. Any ideas?
Hi Firstly will this work on A180 Sport 2016? Secondly does it require any other cables or attachments to work? Some videos show you need additional cables. Thank you
Hi; thanks for the great tutorial. It says , "C/GLC/S Series NTG5.0 are not supported!". I have GLC , software version apilevel/ntg6/081 so not ntg 5.0; will it work for me? And if it does, the ebay link you gave for OBD doesn't work. Is there a newer link?
I installed car play on my 2016 a class, apple car play works fine and android auto feature is there but nothing happens when I plug my phone in. I have the android auto app installed but nothing happens, so annoying! PLEASE HELP SOMEONE
Hi, its not the screen thats the only thing required. You software needs to be also compatible. Seeing its a 2019 probably not. You can watch the videos in this playlist to find out the software version: ru-vid.com/group/PLOQ3OlCUgXQWrT4-2UOoa-jNO4mecgxYg
Thanks for the very clear guide . I have a 2018 X117 CLA 180 shooting brake . Based on your video and what I’ve read online I’m almost positive it will work . How can I check the VIN to be absolutely sure ?
You're welcome, please watch a few more videos here in the playlist to check for version no etc to be absolutely sure that it will work. Seeing its a 2018, the software version can potentially block it if its updated to the latest firmware. ru-vid.com/group/PLOQ3OlCUgXQWrT4-2UOoa-jNO4mecgxYg
How can I confirm that the car's firmware version is 2016.9 to activate Android Auto. Higher than 2016.9 or lower? Where can I compare it to clear up doubts?
Cheers for the video! I've followed all the step shown in the video above and I've successfully managed to install carplay & android auto. But for some reason android auto doesn't seem to respond. I've got A-class 2016 (180D). Really appreciate if anyone could help!
The reason Android Auto doesn't works can depend on one of the two reasons: 1. The tool you used was some fake Chinese copy that cant enable Android Auto 2. Your hardware in the vehicle does not support Android Auto as its a 2016 model and Android Auto were introduced towards the end of 2016/start of 2017.
Android auto doesnt work at my cla 2016 as well... Apple carplay works i tried it with a phone of a friend but android auto doesnt do anything. Tried multiple phones...
I have gla 2016 and bought this OBD2 activator from ebay. I now have android auto on the stereo screen, but nothing happens when i connect my phone. I have android auto on my note 10, but nothing happens after connecting thru the proper usb port. I dunno if im missing something. Any suggestion? Thanksssss.
Hi this worked for me but after a few months CarPlay stoppped even android Auto doesn’t work. I checked via command Centre and CarPlay is showing as enabled but only when I connect the iPhone nothing happens
Hi, there can be a number of reasons as to why this has stopped working but let's start with the obvious ones. - What vehicle do you have? - Have you been using only Apple Carplay or also Android Auto? - The port you have been using, does it power the device when you connect it? - Have you tried different cables(genuine ones)? - Have you tried a different iPhone or android device? - Did you upgrade your iOS version on the device?
Hi, before I provide you with the link to the tool, I think it would be good if you can send me your VIN number on twitter so I can check compatibilty of your vehicle for this activation. 65 plate is on the edge of recommended build so it may/may not active - best we can check that before. My twitter handle is @manisureal so add me on that and then message across your VIN number. Thanks
Hi, great video. I Have a 2016 GLE (W166) and I already have Apple CarPlay but no Android Auto. Would this tool work to activate Android Auto? Apple Carplay was installed from command online and not via this tool - Thanks
Hi, if you don't have Android Auto, it means the software version is too dated and you would need to update that first. I have a few other videos in the playlist here. Its worth a watch to understand why that is: ru-vid.com/group/PLOQ3OlCUgXQWrT4-2UOoa-jNO4mecgxYg Thanks
You're welcome and sorry for the Amazon link. You can use the eBay one here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225357515899?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=upagObT6SgC&sssrc=2524149&ssuid=upagObT6SgC&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hey dude, It really depends on a number of conditions. Can you please watch the following 2 videos and confirm with me if you have the same system and what is your audio software version? 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WlmbAPsqCDs.html 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TGecSGU1NGU.html You can contact me on twitter with your results by adding me and DMing - twitter handle: @manisureal Thanks
Bought a 2016 GLA250 in Feb 2024 in USA. Door sticker says 09/15 build date. VIN WDCTG4GBXGJ191352. Inserted new SD card with updated maps to see device information. Just like yours, reads NTG5Star1. Software version 19/40.0 60.47. tried multiple times to go into engineering mode. Doesn't work. But I will keep trying. Anyway, my question is should I get that ODB device even if my door jamb says the manufacture date is september of 2015? And according to the VIN data sheet information, it says I have the item 522 audio 20. Does that mean I do not have comand? I'm very confused about that because it is not very clear from all of your videos if audio20 and ntg5 is the same as comand or separate audio systems. I really wanted to go into engineering mode so I could try to select the car play feature if available. I also have the two USB ports, with the one on the right having a different type of multimedia device
Hi, can you please watch this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WlmbAPsqCDs.html and see if you have the same audio system as explained and then let me know. Thanks
Hi there.. I have a 2016 A200D. I have exactly the same looking screen and software. Would this work on mine? I was reading it needs to be a 5.1, but don't know how to check if mine is.
O have an 2017 A45 AMG and it has android auto/carplay, which always worked until the day I had to disconnect my battery. After reconnecting it, my Android auto never worked again, but carplay still work. Tried my Android in the 2015 golf and the android auto worked at the second try. Why is that happening? What can I do now?
Hello I have mercede CLA shooting brake from 2016 and I bought this activation tool. When I plugged in tool to OBD diagnose socket screen showed "Diagnosis" for about 1 second, then it returned to normal screen like nothing happened. No menu asking questions or anything showed up. I also can't enter the engineering menu. Can I have wrong firmare version in my mercedes or wrong NTG5 device? Maybe it is a problem with the activation tool?
@@ManiSuReal I probably have the wrong version of the system on my Mercedes. Production date September 2015. But in system on my mercedes i have information about CarPlay.
Hi! Great video. Does it work on W176 model manufactured in 11/2015. I have this plug available in my car and also USB port for connecting mobile phone for androidauto/apple car play? Thanks!
Hi, I have a 2021 CLA 220 shooting brake and has not carpally (there is an option to activating it paying 360e). My question would be if the device is compatible with this car and if would allow to use carplay just following those steps? what about car warranty?
Hi, this tool is not compatible with your new facelift model of the CLA. It only works on certain pre-facelift models up to manufacturer date 2019! . There will be a new tool available in the future for the newer models just not yet so you will have to just wait or pay the amount of £360 to Merc to activate it.
Hi there thank you very much for getting back to me , I’ve checked with Mercedes over here in the US and they have no way of adding Apple CarPlay to the vehicle , pretty annoying with all the technology these days.. Would you be able to help me by finding out if there’s a solution to add Apple car play to my car. Would be gladly appreciated.
Hello, I am completely lost(B class). I don't know where to ask. Is CarPlay related to navigation ? Do I have to buy something to activate the proprietary gps ?
Hi, the navigation is totally isolated from the CarPlay unless you are wanting to use the navigation provided by CarPlay but the one thats comes with the head unit is nothing to do with CarPlay. Thanks
Hi, Can you please watch the following 2 vidoes and confirm with me if you have the same system and what is your audio software version? 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WlmbAPsqCDs.html 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TGecSGU1NGU.html You can contact me on twitter with your results by adding me and DMing - twitter handle: @manisureal Thanks
My w176 is from 12.2015 with NTG5.1Star1, SW30.09 Is an unlock possible only with ODB tool or is it also possible without the tool, within the secret menu ?
Can you please provide the firmware version by watching this video? ru-vid.com/group/PLOQ3OlCUgXQWrT4-2UOoa-jNO4mecgxYg I can then confirm if it would be possible with the tool. I have a video coming soon on how to enter the advanced settings in the secret menu, you can try from there but I am not sure if it will work. Thanks
I have a A class GLA 245G, which is not in your compatibility list. The display however looks exactly the same as in your video. Can you confirm if the unlocker will work on my car?
I haven't heard of a model called GLA 245G? Do you mean GLA 45? Can you please watch the following 2 videos and confirm with me if you have the same system and what is your audio software version? 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WlmbAPsqCDs.html 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TGecSGU1NGU.html You can contact me on twitter with your results by adding me and DMing - twitter handle: @manisureal Thanks
