This retrofit brings Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto to your existing Mercedes-Benz COMAND navigation system. It puts supported smartphone navigation, music and communication functions into your familiar vehicle environment.
Access navigation, music and messages through your vehicle
The integration displays apps approved for Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto on the vehicle's screen. Depending on the supported app, you can:
- Get directions and use a navigation app.
- Play music through the CarPlay® or Android Auto interface.
- Make calls and send or receive messages.
Only apps supported by the relevant platform can be used, rather than every app installed on your smartphone.
Keep using the factory screen and familiar vehicle controls
Images are shown on the factory-fitted display. You operate the interface using the vehicle's existing buttons and control systems. Audio is played through the audio AUX input.
In Apple CarPlay® mode, you can also use Siri voice control through the supplied microphone.
Connect Apple CarPlay® with or without a USB cable
Apple CarPlay® supports connection by USB cable or wirelessly via Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi must be switched on for a wireless connection. The connection method for Android Auto is not specified; the information about wireless use applies only to Apple CarPlay®.
Check compatibility against your installed COMAND system
This retrofit is intended for the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Marco Polo and Marco Polo Horizon with an existing COMAND navigation system. Suitability needs to be checked against the system fitted to your vehicle. Specific model years and COMAND versions are not listed.
Workshop installation in Gersfeld instead of a DIY retrofit
The offer includes installation at our workshop in Gersfeld. Hardware and software components are replaced during the retrofit, so this is not simply a software activation.
This service cannot be shipped. Please plan to bring your vehicle to our Gersfeld workshop for the installation.
