Wireless CarPlay Android Auto Adapter
This adapter adds wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirrorlink to Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the NTG 5.0 system. It supports navigation, music playback, Siri, phone calls and messaging without a wired connection. The unit plugs into the factory USB port via the included converter. Drivers who want a cable-free infotainment experience are the target users.
Practical limits of the NTG 5.0 interface
The adapter works only with Mercedes models listed as A, B, CLA, GLA, C, E, ML, GL, GLK and SLK that already run the NTG 5.0 system. Vehicles with earlier or later head-unit generations cannot use this device. Bluetooth, USB mirroring, camera input and voice control depend on the car's existing hardware support. Buyers who need compatibility with other infotainment platforms cannot use this adapter.
Deciding specification: NTG 5.0 system requirement
The single specification that determines fitment is the presence of the NTG 5.0 system in the vehicle. If the car does not have NTG 5.0, the adapter will not function. Verify the head-unit version before purchase.
