Config of Apple CarPlay / Android auto – 2 WAY CONTROL

The touch panel we use for NTG5*2 COMAND is all made with a capacitive touch glass.

SOUND OPTION #1 (AUX TO USB ADAPTER)
Sound Playback in Android Auto & Apple CarPlay

An USB to AUX adapter comes with the kit, to plugged between car’s USB Media input &
our product’s AUX / RCA Audio out, not the phone itself.
Selecting audio to USB (will show as ‘USBAUXMEDIA’) source from MEDIA window, will allow sound to come through
Benz Sound system. (might have some back ground noise on high volume)

SOUND OPTION #2 (AUX ACTIVATION KIT)

COMAND & BURMESTER SOUND EQUIPPED VEHICLES

RCA Wire pins & OBD Activator kit for NTG5 COMAND
*Not compatible with Audio 20*
Simple Pin insert on original Quadlock harness, with OBD activation that takes less than 2 mins.
The AUX activation allows – as you can see – insertion of the physical Aux wires on top of activating the hidden ‘original function’ of COMAND system.
Hence this will provide far more superior sound for CarPlay & Android Auto than using the USB adapter of other aftermarket products.

For those vehicles with Idle Engine On / Off
The feature itself won’t damage the headunit, however in terms of usage within CarPlay / Android Auto,
It will go through constant connect / disconnect of the phone and audio’s sync
Which may result an error down the track, hence It’s best to use without the Idle Engine function.
