  • hey Dave - slightly late to the party and installed a totally different unit but was very grateful for the installation insights you provided in this video. I am not sure I would have got here without it ! Got suckered by the acc and power cable inverse colours , but once I went yellow red and red yellow on the MOST and wire harness connection I had sound. Very appreciated.

    Decent review 👍... You really came through in the end. Really looking for more information about upgrades for Glk, C class & ML older models 2010 to 2014
  • Hi, thank you for sharing this video. Can you share some info on the accessory connection. I have the similar MB HU on a 2009 E350. There is 2 set of bundle wires to the white connector. One is for the built in Mic (6 wires) and other 2 wires i do not have any idea. I have connected the original blue fakra antenna wire to the new FM radio but I do not have any sound from the radio. Could the 2 wires be part of the satellite radio trigger? Thank you in advance.
  • Hi Dave, this is a beautiful video and it has been 2 years already. I have ML 350 2007 and I need to change it to android, please could you recommend for me the best brand to use and how much it could cost me fully installed with camera and with RAM at least 4GB. Thank you
  • What would be a good one at this moment? On the other hand; I am a audiophile and have an old Nakamichi headunit that sounds great and of course high end amps. I Was thinking about making 2 seperate setups with the original Mercedes unit in place (for telephone and nav). But the Android system would be better. Could I connect it to a (aux) another head unit, connected to my own amps?

    Hi there, you mentioned the backup camera should connect to the green button but the it came in a single wire without any socket to the green, how can you do yours? Please advise, thank you
  • Hi Dave, this was a great video. Can you tell me how is the radio working after a year and have you had any issues with it since? I have a 2010 ML 350 and I live in South Florida. Thanks.
  • thank you for the information it was very helpful and I did it in my car but no sound at all can you help me with that
  • @mcc1701D
    Was the yellow plug for the media connector in the glove box?
  • I have the 2007 gl450 with the HK system. What model fiber optic box would I need?
  • @user-iz3nx8bu6i
    I really love this stereo, but I have had it a year now and it shuts off randomly. Have you experienced this? Do you have any idea what would cause this after a year?
  • @Freddienux
    did you lose audio compass navigation display on instrumental cluster display?
  • Planning to get this for a 2011 ml550. You can use a USB and play music from it on this?
  • @osnelvb9296
    Excuse me, which connector should I use to connect the camera?
  • Thanks for the video. Does the head unit have its own SIM card? I assume you need to use your phone as a wifi hotspot. How do you get telephone functionality on the head unit? Where did you end up placing your microphone? Did you ever solve the issue for no fade control? Are there any other upgrades you recommend for this vehicle?

    Great video thank you. I am still having trouble with two things 1) Steering wheel control not working at all. I simp[ly plugged in the Can Bus to the Toopai harness and then plugged it all in. I did not understand what you were doing with the "T" caps and the Ground, B1, and ACC. Do I need to get power to the steering wheel control. Also 2), the rear veiw camera and backup signals are no longer working. Do I need to wire the camera in some way or do I need to get power to the camera somehow?
  • @Antanta1904
    What box I need to have sound balance you mentioned?
  • @Seyfullah6464
    Hi can you tell me Which cable is for the multifunction steering wheel
  • @SaultiBalldeip
    The stock radio works just fine however upon installing the new MEKEDE M400 Android 10 deck with the fibreoptic box properly connected in my 2007 W164 ML350 I am getting no audio at all. Odd thing is, I do not see any flashing red via the Benz optical cable when disconnected as yours does in the video however the optical conversion box flashes. Any suggestions or did you have any similar issues? Cheers
