2020 C205 C43 no android auto? Can I enable it?

[Alexander Yardley]

Hi all,

I recently took delivery of an ex demo C205 facelift C43 in Thailand. Posting here as I have come to a complete dead end trying to find and answer to this with the Thai garages and Thai forums

I was initially told the car would have Apple Play & Android Auto, but on collection they seem totally absent, and the garage staff are saying now that the newest model doesn't come with this (they are trying to sell me a mirror link solution now).

I've read it's possible to enable this at all? If so any advice on how I can go about this?

Pictures for attention, as there are no legal limits on tints in Thailand, and the official dealer had installed 80% on all windows except the front which has 60% Looks great but possibly not the safest for night driving...

Any advice much appreciated!

Having researched this more across MB forums in Asia, it seems what I'm looking for is the "Smartphone Intergation Package":

This link is to the HK site, but it seems there is no mention of this at all for Thailand. Any idea if this can be enabled by a 3rd party supplier or myself via the obd port?

Hi Alfie, thanks for the post - I managed to find a local chap who activated it via the OBD port.

Mods - please close thread.
