📌 Product Overview (Engineered for Your Mercedes NTG 5.0)

First of all, the Autommi 12.3-inch Digital Cluster is purpose-built for Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the NTG 5.0 infotainment system – specifically the C-Class (W205) from 2015 to 2017 and the GLC (X253) from 2016 to 2018. In other words, if your Mercedes still has the original analog instrument cluster with the NTG 5.0 COMAND system, this upgrade replaces it with a stunning 1920×720 HD 12.3-inch screen powered by a fast and stable Linux system.

Notably, it brings wireless Apple CarPlay directly to your dashboard, along with real-time vehicle data – including fuel consumption, tire pressure, gear position, door status, and all factory warning lights – without sacrificing a single original feature. Furthermore, your factory steering wheel buttons, COMAND controller, and all safety systems remain fully operational. As a result, you enjoy seamless iPhone integration while preserving the refined, luxurious character of your Mercedes-Benz.

Most importantly, this is the only non-destructive, fully reversible solution to modernize your NTG 5.0 cockpit. Therefore, whether you are daily commuting or enjoying a long-distance cruise, you get digital precision and modern connectivity without any permanent modifications.

⚠️ Important Compatibility Notes – Please Read Before Ordering

Before purchasing, please verify that your vehicle matches the following:

Therefore, we strongly recommend sending us your VIN number and a photo of your COMAND screen (showing NTG 5.0) before placing an order. Once received, our team will verify your vehicle’s configuration within 24 hours and confirm compatibility.

✨ Key Features (Designed for Mercedes-Benz NTG 5.0 Owners)

🔌 100% Non-Destructive, NTG 5.0-Specific Installation

To begin with, we engineered a custom CAN-bus wiring harness exclusively for Mercedes W205 (C-Class) and X253 (GLC) with NTG 5.0 systems. Specifically, every connector is pin-matched to the factory instrument cluster plug, meaning no cutting, no soldering, and no coding. Consequently, the installation is fully reversible, so you can always return to the original gauges if desired.

Additionally, all components use OEM-grade automotive connectors that meet strict durability standards. More importantly, the module reads all necessary data through the factory CAN bus without interfering with the ECU, transmission, 4MATIC system, or any safety features. Thus, no fault codes or warning lights will ever appear – giving you complete peace of mind.

📱 Native Wireless CarPlay (Android Auto Not Supported)

First, enjoy wireless Apple CarPlay on your new 12.3-inch HD screen. Thanks to dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, your iPhone connects automatically the moment you start your Mercedes – perfect for daily commutes or spontaneous road trips.

For example, you can use real-time navigation (Apple Maps, Google Maps via CarPlay, Waze, etc.) on the big screen – ideal for avoiding traffic or finding the nearest destination. Similarly, you can stream music, podcasts, or audiobooks through your Mercedes’ factory Burmester or standard sound system. Moreover, hands-free calling and messaging with Siri are fully supported, keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. Finally, full-screen display and one-touch switching between CarPlay and the native dashboard interface work flawlessly.

⚠️ Please note: This cluster supports Apple CarPlay (wireless) only. In other words, it does not support Android Auto.

🎛️ Multiple Display Modes & Complete Vehicle Information

To begin with, you can choose from multiple user-selectable themes (e.g., Classic, Sport, Progressive, Navigation) to match your driving mood – a perfect complement to your Mercedes’ Dynamic Select system. Furthermore, the high-resolution 1920×720 display delivers crisp, glare-free visibility even under direct sunlight.

Meanwhile, the cluster shows everything you need in real time:

• Driving data – speed, RPM, gear position, trip mileage, odometer

• Fuel consumption – instant & average consumption, remaining range

• Tire information – pressure monitoring (if TPMS equipped)

• Engine vitals – oil temperature, coolant temperature

• Door status – individual door and trunk/tailgate open warnings

• Warning lights – seat belt reminder, open door reminder, battery warning, ESP, ABS, airbag, and all factory tell-tales

• Cruise control / Limiter – status and active speed display

• Temperature reminder – outside temperature alert for icy roads

• Vehicle maintenance information – service reminders (displayed on the cluster only)

Notably, all of this information is updated via the OEM CAN bus – just like the original cluster, but presented in a clearer, more modern interface. The cluster also supports switching between miles and kilometers, perfect for drivers in both the US and Europe.

🎮 Full OEM Function Retention

First of all, your factory steering wheel buttons work perfectly to control the new cluster’s menus – including volume, phone, and voice control. In addition, all original warning indicators (turn signals, high beams, check engine, ESP, airbag, etc.) are preserved and function exactly as Mercedes intended. Likewise, the COMAND controller remains fully functional for other vehicle settings.

What’s more, the cluster does not disable any factory convenience features – including parking sensors (Parktronic), rearview camera, 360° camera, active cruise control, and the full factory audio system. Therefore, your Mercedes remains as safe, luxurious, and reliable as ever.

⚙️ Automotive-Grade Linux Platform

To begin, the device runs on a lightning-fast Linux system that boots in under 10 seconds – so there are no delays when you start your Mercedes. Furthermore, it features an ultra-low standby current (<100 mA) to prevent battery drain during extended parking.

Additionally, the 12.3-inch anti-glare screen reduces eye strain during night driving – a thoughtful feature for long-distance journeys. Finally, multi-language support is included (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and more). In fact, the cluster automatically adapts to your vehicle’s language setting.

📌 Important Limitations – What the Cluster Cannot Display

Please be aware of the following limitations before purchasing:

• Multimedia information – The cluster cannot display music playlists, radio station names, album art, or Bluetooth connection status. These remain on your factory center screen only.

• Vehicle maintenance sync – Service reminders and maintenance information are shown only on the digital cluster – they will not sync to your original center screen.

• Car model image – The vehicle animation (e.g., door open graphic) shows a generic sedan silhouette for C-Class and an SUV silhouette for GLC. This is cosmetic and does not affect functionality.

Nevertheless, these limitations do not affect the core functionality of wireless CarPlay and real-time driving data – which is the primary reason most owners upgrade.
