How to Install Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 Android Navigation GPS Head Unit?
If you have a Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 model, and want to upgrade the factory radio with after market GPS navigation head unit and more features like Bluetooth, USB, SD, WiFi, Mirror-Link, this unit meets your requirement.
Just click the above image to learn more about this unit.
You can keep using the factory functions, because it just replaces the factory screen, and you are able to switch to old menu on the new screen. This unit fits and works with W212 with factory dashboard the same as below:
It only fits left-hand driving models, because the frame/bracket is only for Mercedes-Benz W212 left-hand driving models. If your dashboard is different, you can take a clear picture from your dashboard including the entire screen and factory frame for us to check for you.
2019 Update: A new 10.25″ Android screen unit is available for right hand drive W212 now, contact us for more information.
How to install this Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 Android navigation system?
- The first step is to remove the factory screen and the air vents above the radio, disconnect the cables behind.
- Then remove the factory radio and CD unit, disconnect cables behind.
- Connect 2 cables with 4 white plugs with new Android screen and main unit, connect other plugs and cables with the main unit. The main unit can be put in the glove box or any other position where you can push into.
Note: You also need to connect the wifi antenna, gps antenna, and microphone. - Then you can connect original wiring harness with a new adapter plug, and connect the other end of the new cable with the back connector of the radio/CD unit.
Important Note:
If there are fiber optic cables from the factory wiring harness, then you need to move them to our new adapter plug which connects to the back connector of your CD, below picture is just for your reference:
- If you want to connect a rear view camera, the green cable with a yellow RCA connector should connect to the video cable of the camera, and there’s also a loose brown wire with a REVERSE label on it should connect 12V+ reverse light.
If you still have questions while installing, you can take some pictures for us to check, DVDGPSNAV will do the best to help you.

Firstly you can send a dashboard picture for us to check, and please confirm if your car has aux function, so we can send you the right model for your car.

Hi. I installed the unit but have no sound. I didn’t move fiber optic cable to the new harness adapter. Do you think this is the problem?

You need to move fiber optic cables to the new harness adapter. For no sound, you should also check if your car has aux function. I searched your enamil and name but did not find your order with us, please contact your seller for after-sales service because they know your car information and the unit you received.

Will this work in the 2010 w207 e350 coupe?
February 26, 2020 @ 1:59 pm
For 2010 Mercedes Benz w207 e350, it should be another model, please send a dash photo for us to check further, including the entire frame around your screen.

Does this unit require that the COMAND NTG4.0 have an AUX connector? I have a 2010 W212 E350 Base Sedan that does not have MMI, any connectors in glove box, or any connectors in the center console. I see some installation instructions/videos where they’re using the 1/8″ stereo AUX connector as part of the installation.

For w212 with aux, installationn is easier. If not with aux, there’s another solution to transfer the sound.

Thank you for your reply. What’s the other solution? FM transmitter? Is there a solution that is hardwired?

A small amplifier to get sound for 4 car door speakers, but the car should not have a fiber optic amp.

Hello I have a 2014 E350 Wagon, Right Hand Drive, it has fibre optic audio but the AMI port is broken, can you supply a way to reuse the fibre optic audio input with this system?
September 22, 2022 @ 9:33 am
I suggest you fix your AUX function first, because the sound transfers to car speakers through your car’s AUX mode.
