NINETOM 2026 Upgraded 12.3" Ultra-Narrow Touchscreen Wireless CarPlay Android Auto Compatible with Mercedes-Benz GLE GLS (2016–2018), for NTG 5.0/5.1/5.2 System

I don’t write a lot of Amazon reviews, but I thought I’d share my experience with this. I installed this on my 2017 Mercedes GLE43 in a little less than 2 hours (I went cautiously and got interrupted a few times). Overall it was fairly easy, but I did watch at least a couple hours of install videos to familiarize myself with what I was going to do. The manufacturer’s video was somewhat helpful (I found no video that matches this unit exactly), but the one I found to be most helpful was “How to install 12.3" Android screen for Mercedes ML and GL” by 4x4 Shop Canada. Watch enough videos and eventually it’ll look easy enough. My package did come with a trim removal kit, which was nice - but no torx bit, I think it’s a T20 for all the OEM screws. Fortunately I have a bunch of those. What I do need to get is a magnetic screwdriver to hold the screws as I’m securing the screen to the mounting bracket. Amazon overnight for the win. I wasn’t initially sure how the screen mounted to the new A/C vent unit (I’m calling it the unit), so I pieced it together as a dry run. The metal bracket attaches to the car, then the unit goes in with the two metal clips/screws (images 2 and 3) once the connections are all made. Image 4 shows how the top of the unit attaches to the metal bracket once it’s mounted. Once I was confident I had all the right pieces I was ready to get it done. Image 5 shows how the fiber optic cable is removed - it moves from the OEM wiring harness to the one supplied with this system. Pretty easy - the “4x4 shop Canada” video covers this very well. Image 6 shows how the old unit was attached to the car’s wiring. It was very difficult to remove, and the new unit does not need it so it’s just hanging loose now. Funny how the dumbest thing can hold you up for 10-15 minutes because you don’t want to damage it. Images 7 and 8 show how the new wiring comes in through the bracket. Do this before you mount the new unit so you have more room to maneuver. Image 9 shows the new unit mounted with the wiring connectors sticking out. I tucked in all the extra wire and attached the screen. IMPORTANT NOTE - When I attached the screen I did a quick test by turning on the radio’s power button. I got no reaction from the screen until I actually started the car’s engine. Then it lit up like expected. I did have to follow the manual’s instructions on how to get the audio working, but that was pretty straightforward. Image 10 - Success. Image 11 - the back of the screen where the mounting screws go. Tomorrow's problem.

Very good fits great looks great work great

Top ! In a first time, I reversed the optical connectivity link, sound don’t work. I asked support for help and they helped me 👍🏻 All it’s fine now. Nice CarPlay, nice screen size, good quality and functionalities. Thks again

I bought other brand of screens like this and they could get the right skin resolution. This brand worked great! 16 GLE 350 with system 5.2 - please BE AWARE - when you think your done, your not! You will need to follow instructions to the end otherwise the BT sound will not work when your in apple car play / android auto. Thank you for providing a product that works! Highly recommend from this seller

No audio, Flimpsy plastic that rattles

Works fantastic! Screen is large and all apps work great including music car play! My husband installed it and it took some time used online videos fir installing!

My mom loves her upgraded touchscreen. It only took me 35mins to install was simple. they could upgrade the video for the set up I have but otherwise everything works great looks great and my mom is happy so that’s a extra plus

The installation of this screen required me to remove the original trim and a couple of dashboard pieces, but it all went fairly smoothly without any drilling. Once we got the new unit mounted into place, the display aligned evenly with the dash and maintained full access to controls. Once we turned it on, the touchscreen made a huge difference in how contemporary the interior felt. I used the wireless CarPlay feature, and that worked perfectly and launched properly when I started up the car. Maps and media were much easier to see. As I swiped through settings and apps, it was very smooth, without any lag when switching between settings.
