Experience the Power of Android in Your Mercedes
This Android car stereo is built on a modern S180 platform, offering a smooth and responsive user experience. The vibrant 8-inch touchscreen display, available in 800×480 or 1024×600 resolution (confirm with our managers for specific details), features capacitive multi-touch and морозостойкий (frost-resistant) technology. Enjoy excellent screen brightness and wide viewing angles. The unit intelligently adjusts display brightness when headlights are activated and allows for complete screen dimming or brightness control via steering wheel buttons.
For enhanced safety and convenience, connecting a rear-view camera is straightforward. The display instantly switches to the camera feed, even when the stereo is off, providing immediate visual assistance when parking.
This system integrates seamlessly with your Mercedes via CANBUS, enabling control over vehicle functions and access to car information such as climate control, seat heating, and steering wheel adaptation.
Connectivity is a breeze with 2 or 3 USB ports (model dependent), supporting USB flash drives, 3G modems, WiFi, OBD devices, USB TPMS, and more. The built-in WIFI module functions as both a hotspot and receiver. Enjoy media playback from USB, DVD, and take advantage of USB Hub support, voice control, and voice search capabilities.
Tune into your favorite stations with the AM/FM radio featuring RDS and the NXP 6624 chipset. Expect stable reception and rich sound quality. Station naming is customizable, and quick access to the equalizer allows for on-the-fly audio adjustments.
Navigation and GPS Excellence
The integrated GPS navigation, powered by a SIRF Star V module with 60 channels, rapidly acquires satellites. Often, satellites are locked in by the time the unit fully boots up. Experience exceptional data reception sensitivity. Uniquely, this car stereo supports both GPS (American) and GLONASS (Russian) navigation systems simultaneously, boosting accuracy, speed, and reliability.
Bluetooth Connectivity and OBD2 Diagnostics
The Bluetooth Hands-free system incorporates a highly sensitive built-in microphone, with an option to connect an external mic. Enjoy crystal-clear call quality. Answer and end calls directly from the steering wheel controls thanks to versatile button learning. Contacts from your phonebook sync and are stored in memory for easy searching by name or surname, just like your smartphone. Importantly, Bluetooth functionality remains active during stereo startup and parking maneuvers, ensuring calls are never interrupted. Caller ID is displayed in all modes, with a pop-up window for quick answering without leaving your current app.
Bluetooth data transfer opens up possibilities for connecting devices like TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) and OBD2 diagnostic tools. Imagine using an Elm Obd2 20720 or similar adapter to gain insights into your vehicle’s health directly through your car stereo. Monitor engine parameters, read diagnostic trouble codes, and more. The system supports simultaneous operation of hands-free, OBD2, and TPMS.
Superior Sound and Steering Wheel Control
Expect a significant audio upgrade compared to your stock Mercedes stereo. Sound quality is described as excellent, offering a richer and more immersive listening experience.
Steering wheel control customization is extensive. Each button can be programmed for multiple functions based on press duration: short, long, and very long. For example, a short press could return to the home screen, while a long press activates navigation. The level of control customization will satisfy even the most demanding users.
Advanced Features and Technical Specifications
Beyond the key features, this stereo offers a range of additional functionalities: selectable voice prompt audio channels (front left, right, both front, or all speakers), adjustable navigation/music volume balance, audio processing modes, speed-sensitive volume adjustment, and built-in analog TV (with optional DVB-T2 digital tuner support).
