Is there anybody who has put kits on an NGT 4.0? I would want to retain some aspects of the functionality, such as this:
1. Navigating between music in both forward and backward directions by using the buttons on the radio.
2. Incorporate a touch screen without just applying an overlay. Observe this illustration.

3. Wireless connectivity

Thus far, I have discovered the following alternatives, all of which need the head unit to be operating in AUX mode.
The following are the names of the businesses: The Fitting Bay, IDCore, kremersino, Mozart electronics, and naviplus.

I appreciate your assistance in advance.

I am also interested in this. I had a Carplay kit installed in a 2012 E350, and although it functioned OK, I am uncertain whether the same system will be compatible.

Can anybody suggest a reliable vehicle audio/multimedia installation in the San Francisco Bay Area? I am interested in installing an Apple Carplay module in my 2013 SLS AMG GT. Upon seeing this video at the timestamp 4:45, I am inclined to get the same equipment for achieving OEM-like integration of CarPlay in my 2013 vehicle. Thank you for the integrations.

I have acquired this device for my 2012 vehicle, but I have not had the opportunity to install it yet. I am now located in the San Francisco Bay area. If you come across somebody, kindly inform me and I will reciprocate in a similar manner.

Certainly, after I have identified a vendor, we may proceed to provide the information. It's a pleasure to encounter another individual who owns an SLS in our area. I also encountered the module from DMP Car Designs.

I got my CarPlay system installed earlier today. Although I am currently in the process of familiarising myself with all the capabilities of CarPlay, I have found that all the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) functions are functioning as they were before. Additionally, the CarPlay functions, including Bluetooth, Google and Apple Maps, messaging, Spotify, and phone connectivity, are all operating properly. The installer demonstrated excellent skill by diligently taping up all affected areas before to commencing the installation. Upon collecting the vehicle, I was pleased to see that it was devoid of any blemishes. In the next days, I want to dedicate more time to exploring the CarPlay system. As a result, I anticipate having a few inquiries on the operations of the system that I may direct to the installer.

If you have any special questions about the installer, please send me a private message.

Which vendor did you ultimately select? I would want to also install this on my SLS.

The product is sold under the brand name Kremersino and the whole cost, including delivery to California, is $313. When placing your purchase, please indicate that you would like the SLS NTG4.0 model and include a USB cable for the purpose of charging your phone, instead of using the cigarette lighter connection. The USB connector may also serve as a means for any future software upgrade to the CarPlay module.
