The first step is to remove the cover under the steering wheel.

There are now 4 Torx T20 screws to remove.

Once the plastic cover has been removed, the car radio is now visible, so there's no need to dismantle it. It remains accessible.

STEP 2: CONNECTION

This purple plug goes into the LVDS IN part module.

Then plug in the yellow LVDS plug instead of the original one.

And finally, simply disconnect the power supply plug (called QUADLOCK) and plug in the KIT plug instead. It's a simple BY-PASS.

STEP 3: TEST

Press the BACK button for 3 seconds on your Mercedes A-Class 177 pad.

The menu appears, select what you wish to use: Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or Mirror Screen.
