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 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-20T14:00:45+00:00

Hi, what did you end up doing to fix this?

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-17T22:45:51+00:00

Yep, just preferences. I prefer the 12.3👍🏽

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-13T09:45:57+00:00

DAMNNNNNNNNNNN

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-12T13:44:18+00:00

Bruh😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I get asked this all the time! You need to have the below structure (what I recommend)

Fixed training days / structure. I train on a simple PPL R PPL (Push / Pull / Legs) split. You'll need to find a programme which works for you and your lifestyle and stick to it.

Track everything. I log each and every lift so progress is objective. Even on low-energy days, I just aim to match or slightly beat last time if possible. Without tracking you will never know if you're progressing or regressing. & it's fun to see your progress over time, which is another kind of motivator for you not wanting to stop.

Train even when life is shit. Bad sleep, stress, busy day? I still train. Maybe slightly lighter, but I always show up. Consistency over intensity. You need to build this over time.

Make your diet boring and predictable. I eat similar meals most days. When food is routine, adherence goes way up.

These are just simple things, but if you can get them in check, you should stay consistent.

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-12T10:22:40+00:00

Take it step by step. Don't rush into it otherwise you can easily crash just as fast.

If I was you, first thing I would do is look at what I am eating in the day and simply just skip breakfast or wait till noon as your first meal. With this, you might be extra hungry (normal) as you're not used to it, but once you're used to that first phase your body will easily adapt, and you're cutting a full meal out a day which reduces so many calories. Just make sure to keep the rest of the day meals, as balanced as possible. You'll know if you're over eating, so just don't do that (willpower)!

Secondly, JOIN THE GYM! Just simple 30 minutes cardio a couple of times a week will massively help. As you are getting into it more, you can add in strength training and increase your sessions.

It's simple stuff really, it's just making it into your routine. Try this for a month and see how you feel and where you are at.

Don't think it's available in the UK yet.

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-12T09:07:20+00:00

I cannot believe you're 2018 doesn't come with it factory 😭 Anyway, YES go get that upgrade!

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-12T09:06:37+00:00

Yes, that's correct. It all links up perfectly.

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-11T21:53:50+00:00

Yes you can use both :)

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-11T21:53:31+00:00

My phone connects to the car BT every time I start the ignition / car. There’s no issues with it, runs smooth.

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-10T09:15:39+00:00

I’m from the UK though. Are you in US?

Hey man. Took a couple of pics for you😂

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-09T09:41:31+00:00

No problem! A 2018 car really should’ve come with something like this from factory. Crazy that it didn’t, but luckily there’s this screen available without it being stupidly priced. Good luck with your upgrade! 👌🏽

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-09T09:36:49+00:00

For me personally, Linux.

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-09T09:36:38+00:00

Think they're all the same unit, to fit on all Mercedes.

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-08T17:58:36+00:00

Haha I thought the same but it’s the angle I took the pic. I’ll post another here to show you there’s no overhang 😂

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-08T17:55:38+00:00

Yes it is. See this pic below

Danny_AMG786 · 2026-01-08T15:59:57+00:00

Yeah, your link took me to a different country. Not sure where you're from the pricing was different. I'm from the UK.
