Activate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in your Mercedes with ease.

This compact OBD2 CarPlay & Android Auto Activator is designed for Mercedes-Benz NTG5.1 systems, offering a simple plug-and-play method to unlock full smartphone integration. No coding, no tools, and no dealer visit required – just plug it into your car’s diagnostic port, wait for the system to restart, and you’re ready to connect your iPhone or Android device directly via cable.

The tool uses the original vehicle communication protocol, so it won’t void your warranty and works seamlessly with your factory head unit. Android Auto support is available on cars with firmware from September 2016 and newer.
