Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto for Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W213)
For the W213 E-Class with NTG5.0 / NTG5.5 — including the widescreen dual-display cockpit. CarPlay interface for the factory screen, or a dedicated 12.3-inch Android upgrade.
A vehicle-specific retrofit kit for Mercedes-Benz E-Class W213 (2016 onwards) that adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with two dedicated routes: a CarPlay interface for the standard central display and a 12.3-inch module built for the widescreen cockpit.
Where the car has the standard central display, the CarPlay interface connects behind the factory head unit and adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto while the factory screen, touchpad and steering-wheel controls keep working. Where the car has the integrated dual-display cockpit, a dedicated 12.3-inch Android module is made specifically for that dashboard, with separate left- and right-hand-drive versions. Both routes are plug-and-play, with nothing cut or coded.
Owners of the previous E-Class (W212, 2009–2016) and the C-Class (W205) are covered as well — see the Mercedes-Benz brand page for the full fitment list.

Which display does your W213 have?
The two dashboard layouts take completely different kits.
| System | Production years | Factory screen | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard central display | NTG5.0 | Single centre screen | CarPlay interface — the factory screen is retained and CarPlay / Android Auto are added behind it. |
| Widescreen cockpit (integrated dual screen) | NTG5.0 / NTG5.5 | Two joined 12.3" displays | Dedicated 12.3-inch Android module built for the integrated cockpit, with factory-style fitment. |
If you are unsure which layout your car has, send us a photo of the dashboard through the contact page and we will identify it and confirm the exact part within one business day.

What fitting a W213 kit involves
Typical workshop time: 2 – 3.5 hours depending on the option chosen.
Remove the display trim
The centre display and surrounding trim come off with plastic tools. Mercedes dashboards are clip-heavy, so patience and the right tools matter.
Connect the harness
The kit harness plugs between the head unit and the original wiring. No wires are cut and the unit is fully reversible.
Fit the module or screen
A interface hides behind the dash; the widescreen module mounts on the original W213 fixing points.
Test and refit
CarPlay, Android Auto, the touchpad, steering-wheel controls and the original menus are tested before the trim goes back.
Send us a photo of your dashboard
Standard display or widescreen cockpit — one photo is enough for us to match the exact W213 kit.
