CarPlay for Mercedes S-Class W222
It is not always possible to replace an outdated factory radio with a new one, especially when it comes to premium cars such as the Mercedes S-Class. However, owners of these cars are often not satisfied with the set of functions that the factory car radio has. For such cases, there is a choice of video interfaces that connect directly to the factory monitor and which allow you to add the CarPlay function in addition to the factory ones.

Why connect a wireless CarPlay unit to a Mercedes S-Class W222
Mercedes S-Class W222 is the embodiment of comfort and technology, but even in this executive car, the multimedia system of the past does not always meet the modern requirements of drivers. If you want to use the familiar functions of the iPhone without unnecessary wires, connecting the wireless Apple CarPlay unit is an excellent solution.
The standard COMAND system installed in the W222, although functional, does not support native CarPlay connection in many trim levels before 2020. Installing a special interface unit allows you to add support for wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to the system, while fully preserving the original display and control via the standard controller.
The unit is connected without interfering with the electrics – via factory connectors. It works in parallel with the original system, allowing you to switch between COMAND and CarPlay with one click. This means that you will be able to use Apple Maps, Google Maps navigation, listen to music, call, send messages and control everything with your voice via Siri – right on the screen of your Mercedes.
Installing a wireless CarPlay unit is a way to preserve the appearance of the interior without replacing the entire multimedia system. And most importantly, it is convenient, safe and fully compatible with a premium car.
If you want to keep up with the times and make your trips even more comfortable, the integration of CarPlay into the W222 will be a great step.
