Best choice for all in one (Wireless Apple Carplay and Google Android Auto) and how to choose and use for Mercedes Benz driver user
1) What type of Carplay(AndroidAuto) Activator/device will suit for my Mercedes Benz? and what kind of Carplay/Android auto adaptor I should buy?
There are many ways to install and setup the Carplay / Android auto, so here I’d like to introduce the main three ways for you and Mercedes Benz’s class users.
① Car video interface / Carplay & Android auto set
This is the only way to install and be connected to your original/OEM display monitor so it can be very closer to maintain your car as original and luxuries of your Mercedes. but you need someone or knowledge to set up this device into your car.
② Extra display integrated Carplay & Android auto device
Sony, is one leading manufacture and brand, selling this type. It is quite good for such a big brand maker to sell this item but this one has a big issue. As an extra integrated display device, this device pushes you to choose how to put this one in your car. I mean you should hang on car front glass which is over the dashboard or replace your original/OEM display monitor with this model when the display size is matched. so if you really want your car stay in the noble and luxury vehicle
③ Simple USB type dongle device
It is the cheapest and simplest method to insert your smartphone link and sync function into your car. Many Chinese manufactures and brands have been released into the aftermarket. At first glance, it may look quite a good choice. However, please remember “there is no such thing as a free lunch. As much as it is cheap, the compatibleness may not meet your wishing performance in your brain.
2) What kind of Carplay/Android auto adaptor device I should buy?
As you see and read, a variety of choices for the device that enable the use of Carplay application or Android auto through your phone is here. Among these choices, I’d like to recommend you K-Play. It is a highly reliable and compatible device. K-Play is manufactured in Korea, GU Electronics. It supports Apple Carplay mode(wireless / USB wired connection) and Google Android auto (USB wired connection). Also, this is the device to use your OEM / original monitor display in your vehicle so the car indoor interior will be as same as the original look and you can get better satisfaction than you think.
