Great but 1 detail
OK so, install? Super Easy. UI/Responsiveness? Flawless. Works with OEM controls? Yes. Would recommend? Yes.However my one issue I couldn't resolve is no audio, with this system you are given 3 options for output audio and one of them is using the optional usb to usb port connection for audio. Which I had to do because the wireless option and then ground option was not functioning for me. Do I want one of my usb ports inside the console being used by the system? No. Is it hidden though? Yes. Hence why I rated 5 stars, it works great and does what it's supposed to and you can't beat the price point. And I'm sure I can resolve my issue with the tech support they offer but I'm to lazy to even raise the issue tbh lol.

Do not recommend!
***do not recommend**** works great for a month then slowly starts to glitch-out. I can no longer navigate using the console wheel—can only navigate on the phone. Screen goes completely dark after three hours or if you make the unit work too hard (lots of interaction). Phone call can’t be answered by the console controls; and when you answer on the phone, callers say it echoes. And if you engage the backup camera too quickly after starting the car, the screen goes dark also.

Works fine. Installation requires experience with car interior disassembly.
Installation in my 2017 GLC 43 was fine.Removing the console requires plastic pry tools to ensure you don't damage the surfaces.You need to understand how all the connectors on the console are latched. A pick tool is a necessity. My vehicle had two fiber optic cables. These also have latches that are not easy to unlatch.Written instructions are lacking. I watched 4 different videos of people installing these units. That was important to understand all the steps to install. The instructions did not show the fiber optic cables or how to unlatch all the connectors on the console. The on-screen setup was also not well written. Should be a step-by-step sequence.It worked when I first installed it but no audio. Then only one audio source would work e.g. music or maps but not simultaneously.I reached out to the seller for support, and it was excellent. Quick, within a few hours and helpful. responses. It's all working fine.Great addition to my vehicle.

Easy to Install adds Carplay to GLC 300
Original ReviewWanted to add carplay to 2016 GLC 300. Went with the roadtop unit vs getting a new android screen as I was not sure if that screen would handle the phoenix heat in the summer. I was able to install this unit in 30 minutes after watching the install video on youtube. I needed a T20 adapater and drill to make a hole to get the usb cable to the armrest area.I was able to remove the console and have somebody hold it while i removed the radio and connect adapters and run the usb cable. The system works as advertised. Wireless carplay does work and sometime need to do a few step to get the audio working but sometimes it comes right in. Depends on the music app that i am using. So sometimes i need to change channels to get the sound to work.Having carplay on the orginal screen looks really good and really feels like a major upgrade to the car. Yes the touchscreen is not available but using the knob is easy to get use to. I only had this for a few weeks but so far so good.

Works flawlessly for Android auto as well as Apple carplay (both wirelsselsy)
Easy to install however make a note to detach the fiber optic cable from original power cable to new power cable, otherwise you won't have audio working (even with mercedes own radio, cd , usb songs etc ).These instructions of the attaching fiber optic cable from original factory power cable bundle to new , this kit provided bundle are not very clear (or rather easy to understand ), but once you figure that out, it's piece of cake.
