This is absolutely brilliant mate! Thanks so much for this review!
Thanks Jonathan you are so welcome! :)
@ABAUTO love your channel Adam! Keep up the great work!
@@ABAUTOAMG Quick question is there any way of getting screens that could be installed in the back to connect to the digidash so that the movies or videos playing from the centre console can be viewed on the screens in the back of the car.
Could do with one of these! Great review.
Thx for the discount code just offered for my CLS 2021
i have just order one and i used your discount code worked saved me £20, many thanks
You are welcome Allen 👍
Thanks, ordered today. Fingers crossed it works.
How it go?
Absolutely necessary in the car. Fantastic device!!!
Thank you for your review , and thank you for the £20 off ,just ordered one
No problem you are welcome. Thanks for watching and enjoy! Happy holidays and new year!
@@ABAUTOAMG Thank you, to you too , also is it very distracting while you driving?
Thx for the video. Can you please review the "MMB PLUS Android 11.0 Multimedia Video Box" too?
Insane! Looking to buy it. Can you use it with your iPhone plugged into the Digidash to make sure you doesn't lose sound quality while listening a good music video (I have two Audison amp, 7 speakers Audison and one Audison subwoofer in my CLA35 2022) or the only option is with via Wifi connection?
Ordered, thanks for the 20 quid Adam 😀
Nice one Mark! Hope you enjoy it 👍
This is perfect even if u don’t end up using it for video playback, wireless CarPlay is just much easier and less fussy
wireless CarPlay is so nice. Mercedes-Benz have finally started to included it in cars now. It worked great for me in the EQE and I think It's also in the new C class. Glad they have finally listened!
@@ABAUTOAMGso my E350 from 2022 doesn’t have wireless CarPlay?
Top piece of kit.
Hi thank you and do you have a link to buy and some discount code.
can we use the iphone carplay in same time but wireless so while the digidash is connected ? like switching between my apple music on my phone and than netflix ? or should i unplug digidash and connect my iphone ?
Cool but this is not using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and mirroring your apps. It’s just using your phone wifi or data. You still need to install or login to the apps which are separate on this device. Something to consider. Thanks for the vid.
Nice review ….Planning on purchasing , do you know if they have fixed the aspect ratio to allow full screen in digidash 4.0?
Apple CarPlay is wireless now in 2022 and later Merz models.
Brilliant...
Do you need to have Applecarplay/android to get I work? I have cla 2021 without appelcarplay installed
Can I play my sky go app through this unit, I have seen it can be done but don't know how. I would definitely buy this unit if I can
Do you know if it works on the w213 2017, for Netfli movimento Why can't you see videos in full screen?
Hi just one thing, when I said to Digidash technical that the supplied cable snags my console cover on my Mercedes EQA can they suggest ware I can get a usb-c to usb-c cable.The email reply I got said there isn’t an after market usb-c to usb-c cable available. But in your review you show one so I don’t understand. Ware did you get yours from.
Hi there love your video very informative. Do you have a discount code ?
Thank you! Sure thing! If you use code "ABAUTO" you should get £20 off.
Cool thx😊
Do you download the actual app to the CAR or do i have to have that box plugged in all the time?
Does this also work while you’re driving? I have a 2020 4x4 MB Sprinter Van (Winnebago Revel) RV that I’d like to get this for, mostly for my passenger to have some entertainment while on very long drives. It just has more functionality than just Apple CarPlay and I think I’d be a great add on to the rig. Great video! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Hey, Yep it all works while driving since It runs on its own operating system. Would work great for passenger entertainment. Just make sure your car has apple car play functionality, the box needs the car play port to work 👍
@@ABAUTOAMGdo u know what the legalities of this are in the uk? As far as it playing while driving etc?
How is CarPlay on this unit? Any lag using Waze for example? Thanks.
Hello friend, I have the 2021 Mercedes S580 and I'm wondering will the digidash mirror your android phone? And if not, do you know a device that will mirror your android phone for my Mercedes??
_i just watched a video of u watching a video of u_ _in KZhead_ a ♥️😂
This looks really good and great way to ditch the cable. Do you know if this will work just as well in a 2019 C43?
Did you find out if you could on the C43 with MBUX?
Hey awesome video! Does it work in a EQS it comes with a wireless carplay feature.
Hey Milian, I haven’t tried it but have heard it works great on the new big portrait screens like the EQS.
do u have a trick or tutorial how to setting the VIDEO works while car moving ?
Defos buying this especially it coming from u it don’t seem fake lmao my s63 cabrio defo gone feel like a living room now 😂😂😂
Can u screen share so u see what’s on ur phone to the screen that’s icing on the cake for me
Hi you're video is helpful thank you. I bought one of these came the other day. It's missing the little adapter. So, I emailed them. Also, does this have to be permanent in your car, meaning if I take it out, does it lose all your settings, causing you to reset them? Because I set mine up and took it out now showing offline. Can anyone please help 😊❤
Can you cast your phone or screen mirroring ? Thanks
Looks great , can’t see the link
Does it also work on the Mercedes a 180 sport d 2017?
hello friend I have a mercedes glb 200d 2022 is it compatible with the product?
How do you know if your car has apple car play option? Thanks
Will it work with a 2022 Mercedes cla? this on has the newer mbux system.
A right angle usb c cable would be perfect for this. Also nice name.
Agreed x2! :)
Hi could you shed some light on this? When my digi dash boots on it automatically boots up android auto but turns wifi connection off when doing so. If I manually turn wifi back on and go back into android auto it turns wifi back off again. Can you not have wifi on when android auto is running? If so is there any way of changing it?
Will it work on a Cla 45 2017?
Hi, Android Auto does not work on 2018 eclass with ntg 5.5 audio 20 12.3" screen. The car has the phone icon USB in the centre consul. Any ideas to get it working. I asked the local dealer and he said Android Auto was not installed but didn't seem too interested. I have checked the connection menu on the screen and it does not show android auto. And I checked mercedes aps and nothing their either. My phone has c connection. The reason I want android auto is that the map is outdated and the dealer said a new card is about 400.
Is this working to my Mercedes AMG GT 53 2019 ? Thank you
Hola, soy Óscar de BCN, como puedo comprar digidash? Y que precio tiene??? Ruego me envíen su respuesta a la mayor brevedad posible 🙏🏻 ... gracias
hmmm says not compatible with Mercedes EQE (I have the new EQE SUV). But it has the port this needs so whats the reason its not working?
can you use voice command for all the apps like youtube and all
İs it compettible with GLC 2023 AMG?
Can you make a video of this using a SIM card setup through AT&T provider. I bought this and trying to use SIM card. Issue getting it to work. I see the network wifi, but it's not working .
Hi, did you get the cable with the digi dash or did you buy this separately. Im having to use all my converters that came with the digi dash as the cable does not work unless i use them.
Hi Ryan, I asked about it and was able to get the USB-C from them which works great. It’s such a pain that Mercedes left such little space where the door closes. Have you tried checking with digidash if they have a c to c cable? Hopefully they will be able to help.
Must i buy for this in Mercedes store Smartphone Intergration?
How can I do this in my 2017 C43?
Does this work for 2022 C300? I only have a usbc port
Does the track pad in the center console and the steering wheel allow you to navigate or do you have to use the touchscreen itself? I know it works under android auto but haven't got anything to test it under carplay
The back button on the steering wheel works and the two touchpads bring up a cursor similar to a laptop but it’s quite laggy and has a bit of a delay so it doesn’t work very well. The touch screen is the best way to use it. The non touch screen version comes with a small remote I’ve been told if you have the older comand system.
@@ABAUTOAMG ahh gotcha! Was just thinking about navigating Waze and whatnot when driving instead of running it through my phone have the one box that does everything!
Hello quick question. It’s mentioned in the features that it has wireless apple carplay and android auto but you never showed them in this video? So my question is does either or these work work through digidash ?
This is what I was looking for.
If you don't want to thether to you phone, can you put a data only sim, into the box
Does it work on a 2014
main Question before buying this stuff: do i need to buy carplay first in the mercedes store to use the dash or does it works without any of that?
Hey Ersin, I think you will need to have CarPlay fully active for this to work. It uses the CarPlay ports and software to run Its own internal android operating system so I don't think it will run without it.
What to do with wireless apple car play ?
Can you do this in a 2016 c300
I was just about to purchase this but have a question, I have that CarPlay port like yours on my car but I havnt got CarPlay activated in the car itself will this work?
Hi Nabeel, I haven't tested myself but I think you may need to have full CarPlay activated in order for it all to work I'm afraid :(
Great vid. Does this still work 10 months later?
Thanks Derrick, all still working good here! :)
I have a 2022 gle coupe, and tried using a cable to connect to my phone via android auto. For some reason it didnt pick up many apps at all only the basic ones like spotify, smartthings, etc. Do you need a specific verison of mbux to get video related apps to work?
Video related apps won't be availble by default, this is due to safety measures.
Are the speakers and audio gear enough as-is or would you upgrade anything?
I’ve got the Burmester sound system which is enough for me to be honest but I’m not a huge audio guy :) I am working on a review of the burmester at the moment too!
Great bit of kit, not sure the price tag justifies when it’s literally a Amazon fire stick really
Can you please someone tell me name of the box I cannot find it in eBay
Hey, Thanks for your review, I have a full CarPlay activated on EQC from 2020 Touchscreen MBUX, is this device compatible? Tnx!
Hey! No problem the EQC is similar to my car here so it should work exactly the same 👍
OK, and they have the best customer service in replying to all your questions, they even assured me if my vehicle is not compatible I can return it for a full refund! I purchased it and can't wait for the delivery, Thank you!!!@@ABAUTOAMG
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH; EVERYTHING WORKS & WHAT A SERVICE!!! IN JUST 5 DAYS I RECEIVED MINE FROM THE UK TO GERMANY ...AND I CAN ONLY SAY WOOOOOOOOOOOW :-) This device is worth the money that the owner asks for... plug & play without any big installation@@ABAUTOAMG
Wo kann man das Gerät erwerben?
How much does this cost?
Anyway this can work with the USC-C ports in the armrest? Then it wont take room from the center console / wireless phone charger
Unfortunately not in the CLA and A class. The one in the front is a special USB C port for car play.
When you drive a Mercedes you only need your senses to enjoy driving
In a Mercedes Sprinter 😑
And your warranty booklet
@@WixyJixy do you loose your warranty when using it?
… and KZhead… so you can watch Mercedes videos!
Does the 45s not come with Wireless Apple CarPlay as standard from factory?
No :( I don’t think any Mercedes have wireless car play yet, only BMW seem to have it! No idea why as it’s such a better experience wireless.
Does this work with iPhone, or only Android? I have a 2021 GLC 300 4Matic. Is there a link for buying in the US ????
Hey Greg, this will work with an android or a iPhone as long as your car has the CarPlay option. You only use your phone to share your data with the box, the box runs on its own version of android which is why all the apps work :) On the digidash website it says worldwide delivery so I think you can order to the US straight from the website. Hope this all helps.
@abauto what usb c cable did you buy so it could fit in the compartment?
Hi Sam, Digidash sent me the cable. If you ping them an email they should be able to help 🤞
@@ABAUTOAMG wow rapid reply and great videos mate. You would be a great car reviewer like carwow
@@sambabalola2782 Thanks Sam, hoping to get my hands on some more cars to review this year :)
Can it also go on a golf when i have an apple car play? Without a kabel o somthing
Hey, I focused just on Mercedes here but the digi dash is designed to work on lots of cars, I hear it works well on Audi’s so I suspect it will work great in the golf too.
How do you usually get in conctact with DigiDash, the charged my card for the order but never processed it.. so I never even got a confirmation. It just showed transaction on my credit card with the order actually going through...
Ah that’s sounds like a painful glitch! I’m sure they will help you out with this try writing them an email explaining. The contact info should be on the website.
Do you still need to have the Apple CarPlay feature on your Mercedes anyway? Or does this device bypass that and add it?
You need to have active CarPlay for this to work. When connected it uses CarPlay to load up so it won’t work without I’m afraid.
These do look good but i have a z fold phone so to save 270 quid ill just use my phone when stopped
On the way of switching from BMW M550 to this car. To be honest the bmw quality of interior is very poor, everything in the car rattles or squeaks... The mercedes looks a lot better and built quality seems to be better as I read over the forums, however my bmw has wireless apple car play.. and now I see that CLA 45 AMG 2022 comes with wired applecar play and in order to make it wireless you need to use some kind of 3rd party boxes... Btw I didn't quite understand how your box works? Is it you connect it and it has build in android OS where you can download everything and stream, however for that you need a wireless OR mobile data, which force your iphone to be all the time on hotspot... and to be honest even that I have iphone 13 pro MAX with biggest battery on hotspot my battery drain super fast, which I really don't know if this is ok for long drives.. While I see there are some boxes which you connect to car and the box stream BT+WIFI and you iphone just connect to the box and the box send the signal to the MBUX.. but in this case you have a standard apple car play and you cannot watch netflix or youtube while driving... Idk which one to go for ...
I wish it was full-screen on mbux and I'll buy it
it´s work with te Hyperscreen frorm MB EQS?
Great question! It should display on the hyper screen the same way regular car play would. I hear it works well on the newer big screens like the new c class etc
Oh wow
I just bought the new mercedes GLC 2023. Would this work on that vehicle as well?
Hey, Yep this should all work as long as the car has working Apple CarPlay and android auto. Is it the new GLC with the large tablet touch screen? I haven’t tested it on this yet but I’ve heard it works great on the big screen.
i have gls 63 2017 have car play but not Touch screen should work on mine ?
Hey Alex, it should work but I think you have to use a special remote. They sell a version with the remote but I haven’t tested it myself so I’m not sure what it’s like. I think you can choose the version on the website.
Quick question, I have a 2020 Merc, but the digital display isn’t touch screen. Will it still work?
Hey :) They sell a version that comes with a remote for non touch screen cars. Il be honest though I haven't tried it so I'm not sure if it works well.
I have the Apple car play plug in thing in the draw but do I need to activate Apple car play for this to work?
Hey, I’d activate car play just to check it all works ok before getting a digidash just in case. If CarPlay works with your phone you know the digidash will work too. 👍
Does this work with on a 2017 Audi A3? I have the screen which pops out of the dashboard so is that touch screen functional?
Hey Mursal, If you plug your phone into your car does CarPlay/android auto work? This is a good way to check since the digidash runs off the cars CarPlay functionality but not all cars have it.
@@ABAUTOAMG yes I have apple car play, but would my dash screen turn into a touch screen?
@@mursalyahye8363 Only if the screen already has touch functionality otherwise when you buy the digidash you need to get the one that comes with a little remote I think.
Is there any way to get Android Auto added to your car. The salesman led me to believe my C Class did have it, but alas it doesn't. I used it all the time in my Golf so really miss it.
On MBUX you can buy it as an extra feature but I’m not sure you can do this with the C class Comand system but worth a check with Mercedes. I think you can buy third party adapters too. I will do some research into this for a video because I think quite a few people may be in a similar situation. Hopefully there’s an easy way to do it! :)
@ABAUTO Thanks for replying! Would love to have it again. 😊
I have a A clases w177 (2019),is necesario pay the Androidauto licencié on Mercedes store to play the Digidash or not?
Hey, Yes unfortunately you need working android auto/carplay to run the digidash.
@@ABAUTOAMG too expensive the Digidash, many in Amazon do the same and less price. Thanks.
Would this work on an E300 Mercedes 20 plate ?
Hey, If the car has the optional CarPlay/android auto it will work. Are you able to use CarPlay or android auto in your car.
Goddamn i bought the andriod carplay future..
Also allowed for people who lease their car? Do you lose warranty?
Hi Kola, There's nothing to worry about If you lease or warranty. This little box is no different than when you plug your phone into the car. It simply uses the cars photo interface and the box runs independently. It doesn't have to install anything on your car etc. So no worry for warranty etc at all. Hope this all helps :)
will this work on the c300 2022 to play Netflix?
Hey, this will work but only If you have the factory CarPlay/android auto option. There’s an easy way to test If you have it just plug your phone into the port by the cupholders and If android auto/CarPlay pops up on the screen you have it and the digidash will work with your car.
Does this works with cluster screen navigation of Mercedes GLB 250 2022?
Hey Rachit, if your car has optional CarPlay/android auto ports it should all work :)
Does this works with cluster screen navigation of Mercedes GLB 2022?
Does this work the same for Apple CarPlay? And does it work the same for US cars?
Hey Ezekiel, this should work the same for US cars and I believe they deliver to US too. You could send them an email to double check to confirm they have great customer service by the sounds of the reviews so you should hear back quickly. I will check to find out too :)
@@ABAUTOAMG ok thank you. Love your car by the way, I got a 2022 gla 45 myself, shame we don’t get the S version in the US
I got CLS 350 2019 do you have anything for it?
Hey, I think this would work as long as the car has the CarPlay/android auto functions working.
I have second generation A45 W176 2018, it plays mp4, will this work
Hi, If the car has Apple CarPlay or android auto when you plug your phone in the box should work. But you won’t have touch functionality so you may need to get the one with the remote. I haven’t tested this one myself.
I just notice that the apple car play is not full screen… why :( this is so annoying to have such a small apple car play Im used from my ex bmw to have car play on full screen :/
Can you go full screen or is the view size limited?
The size is limited unfortunately due to CarPlay in the car not being full screen. Wish we could use the full screen :(
Is this working in 2019 e class combi? Thanks
Hi Irene, If the car has working android auto or Car play then the digidash should work. It’s sometimes an optional extra on these cars so make sure your car has it first.
