Mercedes NTG5.5 Compatibility — C, E & S Class
⚠ Important compatibility check. Compatibility depends on your Mercedes model, screen type, USB port type and software version — please send us your VIN before booking so we can confirm your vehicle is compatible.

✓ Compatible: Facelift W205, 2018 to end of production — non-touchscreen widescreen system with two USB ports, at least one displaying a phone symbol.
✗ Not compatible: Pre-2017 models, COMAND large-screen systems, and MBUX touchscreen systems.
E-Class

✓ W222 Facelift: Apple CarPlay is included as standard from the factory.
✗ Not compatible: Pre-Facelift models.
USB Port Requirement
For applicable Mercedes models, your vehicle must have two USB ports, with at least one displaying a phone symbol — this is the port required for Apple CarPlay on compatible systems. If you're unsure which port is which, send us a clear photo of your USB ports and we'll check them for you.
How to Check Your Mercedes Compatibility
Mercedes infotainment systems can vary even between vehicles of the same model and year, so the easiest way for us to confirm compatibility is to check your VIN and infotainment specification. Before booking, please send us:
- Your Mercedes model and vehicle year
- The last 7 characters of your VIN
- A photo of your infotainment screen, if possible
- A clear photo of your USB ports, if applicable
Check Before You Buy
Due to the different screens, USB configurations and software versions used across Mercedes-Benz vehicles, compatibility can't always be determined by model and year alone. Send us your VIN via WhatsApp before booking and we'll confirm whether your Mercedes is suitable.
- Compatibility confirmed against your exact model before any work begins
- Fully coded and tested on-site before you drive away
- Mobile appointment, or visit us in M16 — whichever suits you
- No-obligation quote confirmed with you first, no surprises on the day
