Mercedes-Benz GLC CarPlay installation, generation by generation.
Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Mercedes-Benz GLC generation we see: X253 (2015–2022): Wireless CarPlay box behind the original NTG5 screen on 2015–2019 cars, COMAND knob kept; 2019–2022 facelift cars with MBUX usually have CarPlay already, so there we add a wireless adapter; X254 (2022 on): Factory CarPlay and Android Auto on every car; we set up wireless CarPlay and sort maps and region on imported cars. From €250 incl. VAT. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

FAQ
Mercedes-Benz GLC CarPlay: questions people ask.
Answers for GLC owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppDoes my GLC already have CarPlay?
2019 to 2022 X253 facelift cars with MBUX usually have CarPlay and Android Auto wired, and every X254 does; there the job is a wireless adapter. 2015 to 2019 X253 cars on NTG5 mostly do not, unless the option was ordered from 2016, and those get our wireless box behind the original screen with the COMAND knob kept. Send the reg and we check which head unit you have.
How much does CarPlay cost on a Mercedes-Benz GLC?
It depends on the generation. X253 (2015–2022): from €500; X254 (2022 on): from €250. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.

X254, built 2022 on (MBUX (NTG7) with the 11.9-inch portrait touchscreen; CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory): Factory CarPlay and Android Auto on every car; we set up wireless CarPlay and sort maps and region on imported cars.
How long does CarPlay take on a Mercedes-Benz GLC?
X253: two to four hours; X254: about an hour. You can wait at the workshop or drop the GLC in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit CarPlay on a Mercedes-Benz GLC?
X253: the Audio 20 or COMAND Online on NTG5 with the 7 or 8.4-inch screen; CarPlay optional on some cars from 2016; the 2019 facelift brought MBUX (NTG6) with the 10.25-inch touchscreen and CarPlay on most cars and its controls stay; the box sits behind the trim and is switched from the factory buttons. X254: CarPlay is factory-fitted, so we only add to it.
Do I need to book CarPlay for my Mercedes-Benz GLC, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (X253 and X254) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
