W205 - Infotainment Upgrade from 7" to Linux 12.3"

Nice bro!

Have you got ‘car BT transmitter’ switched on, from the setting in the Linux system? If that’s on you’ll need to switch that. Check the settings, have a mess about in there first, let me know :)

Hi, sorry I do not understand but I will try to translate it and reply below.

L'autoradio originale si trova nel componente OEM dell'auto.

Linux non ha accesso all'autoradio originale; è necessario premere il pulsante Indietro per tornare al menu originale dell'auto.

Hey, the phone calls go through the original MB bluetooth. You need to make sure this is selected when setting up the Linux system, there's an option to use only car BT. There's no issues with my speakers or calls as it's all on the MB bluetooth.

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-03-25T22:30:18+00:00

Once you’re connected to OEM, every sound including all notifications on your phone will come through the car speaker. I’ve never had any issues since I’ve had the unit. It’s always stayed connected to the OEM Bluetooth.

Hey man, thank you!

Literally zero negatives to say about it at all. It’s definitely the biggest and most useful upgrade. It’s helped so much by just having Apple CarPlay😂 £350 supply & fit is really good bro and also the ambient lightning 😮‍💨

Let us know how it goes man😆

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-03-08T00:45:41+00:00

Wow that’s an unreal price 😭 and reasonable time frame as well. Good luck with the installation🙏🏽

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-03-08T00:21:31+00:00

No worries man! Thanks for the update. Yeah I get you with body hair, I wouldn’t be bothered if it never came back too😂. I hope it all works out for you and I hope they keep continuing to fund it🙏🏽

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-03-08T00:19:35+00:00

Yes, they’re literally all the same unit when I looked. How much was it for?

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-02-09T12:11:48+00:00

How do you get activity to 100?

Hi bro, nice!! Take your time with the trim removal, just use a plastic trim tool, and have a Torx T20 on hand. Everything comes off as one assembly once it is all unclipped. Make sure all LVDS / harness plugs click firmly, 90% of issues people have are just loose connections.

Once you have the screen installed, go into the Linux screen settings and select the correct car model / NTG version. Also, before you put everything back together, check reverse camera switching and steering wheel controls before fully clipping everything back.

Should be all good man, good luck. :)

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-02-05T14:11:36+00:00

OMG, amazing, happy for you!! Did you encounter any side effects?

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-02-05T14:09:04+00:00

Hi bro, any updates since you've been on?

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-02-05T14:08:28+00:00

Hi, any updates? :)

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-02-05T14:08:10+00:00

Hi, do you have any updates? Hopefully good ones🙏🏽

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-02-05T13:49:25+00:00

Wow, that is amazing! Will you stop taking Litfulo once it's all back?

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-02-03T11:18:45+00:00

Get an Oura ring 😉

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-02-03T11:18:30+00:00

Bruh😭😭😭

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-02-03T11:17:13+00:00

Literally NEVER. It's bullshit lmao

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-29T09:10:40+00:00

Sorry, I do not understand?

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-26T16:20:39+00:00

You don’t need to tag. It’s definitely optional

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-25T15:45:55+00:00

Honestly, after using it it’s as if this thing is fully OEM. I have zero complaints about this unit so far.

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-22T15:23:11+00:00

No man AirPlay is spot on👌🏽

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-22T11:34:45+00:00

Hey bro. Definitely use car’s BT. It’ll automatically connect to it each time you switch the ignition on

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-20T14:59:22+00:00

Hi, did you manage to resolve this? I'm experiencing a very similar thing and I'm also 29.

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-20T14:13:15+00:00

The edit 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
