Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, on many compatible Mercedes infotainment systems. Support depends on the head unit, software, factory equipment and configuration.
Yes. Supported vehicles can be activated remotely using a Windows laptop and a compatible diagnostic interface.
Send us your 17-digit VIN before booking. We will check compatibility and determine the required procedure.

Not when the existing Mercedes hardware supports software activation. Incompatible systems may require a hardware retrofit instead.
Some NTG5/NTG5.x configurations support Android Auto, while others cannot be enabled through coding alone. VIN/head-unit verification is required.
Many compatible NTG5.5 configurations support Smartphone Integration/Android Auto, but the exact hardware and software configuration must be checked.
Yes. Compatible MBUX systems support Android Auto through Smartphone Integration. Mercedes explicitly documents Android Auto as an available Smartphone Integration application.
It depends on the infotainment generation and configuration. Do not assume every NTG5/NTG5.5/MBUX vehicle supports the same connection method.
Possible causes include incompatible hardware, software/configuration differences, missing Smartphone Integration, or activation/coding requirements.
No. Activation is different from USB, cable, phone, Bluetooth, or connectivity faults.

Where applicable, the service is a one-time software activation. Future programming, software changes, or head-unit replacement may affect previously activated functions.
