🛻 Mercedes-Benz X250 2018 (NTG 5) | Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Retrofit by MC Audio Sydney 📲🔧

🧠 Tough Outside, Smart Inside

The Mercedes-Benz X250 2018 is known for its rugged utility and premium cabin—but when it comes to infotainment, it lacked today’s essentials like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

At MC Audio Sydney, we gave this Ute a smart tech upgrade using a plug-and-play CarPlay/Android Auto retrofit module—no screen replacement required, and no interference with the original system. 🎯💡


🔧 What We Installed

We used a dedicated interface module compatible with NTG 5, specially designed for Mercedes-Benz systems:

Retains original display and COMAND controller
Supports wired and wireless CarPlay + Android Auto
Preserves OEM reverse camera and parking sensors
Fully integrated with factory menus and steering controls
No coding or screen replacement needed

All functionality is accessed using the existing COMAND knob or steering wheel buttons, keeping the OEM look 100% intact. 🧼📲

🛠️ Installation Process at MC Audio Sydney

Our certified technicians carried out the installation with:

🔧 Dash disassembly using non-invasive tools
🔌 Wiring via OEM harnesses for safe, clean integration
🧠 Activation of CarPlay/Android Auto input source
🧪 Full system testing including camera, sensors, audio and controls
Wireless pairing setup and customer walkthrough

The result: a modern and responsive infotainment experience in a work-ready, off-road capable Benz.


🚘 What the Driver Gains

After this upgrade, the Mercedes-Benz X250 now supports:

  • 📍 Navigation with Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps
  • 🎵 Streaming from Spotify, Apple Music & YouTube Music
  • 🎙️ Voice commands via Siri and Google Assistant
  • 📞 Hands-free calls and messaging
  • 🔄 Automatic wireless pairing on engine start

No more dated interface—just seamless, modern smartphone connectivity.
