Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class C257 Full-Screen Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Retrofit | Wireless Upgrade (UK & EU)

VEEHIVE’s Mercedes CLS C257 CarPlay Module upgrades your NTG 5.5 or MBUX NTG 6.0 system to Wireless Full-Screen Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto. The factory CLS setup offers wired CarPlay on a split display by default — this retrofit transforms it into a wireless, full-screen experience on your OEM display without losing factory functions.

Works with both 8.4-inch (COMAND NTG 5.5) and 10.25-inch (MBUX NTG 6.0) screens. All OEM controls remain intact — touchscreen, rotary dial, steering buttons, and voice assistant. No coding or dealer tools required.

Designed for Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class C257 (2018–2023). UK-wide installation available and worldwide shipping.
