Carlinklife 12.3-Inch Android Screen Upgrade for Mercedes-Benz CLS C257 2018-2020 with Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto

12.3-inch Android screen with wireless CarPlay for the Mercedes-Benz CLS

This Carlinklife upgrade replaces the center display in the Mercedes-Benz CLS C257 (2018-2020) with the factory digital instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch Android touchscreen (1920×720). Your original digital cluster stays in place, so the dashboard keeps its dual-screen look.

The screen runs Android 14 on an 8-core processor with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus apps from the Google Play Store.

This upgrades the center screen only. It does not replace your instrument cluster, and your CLS must have the factory digital instrument cluster. Choose 4GB RAM + 64GB storage or 8GB RAM + 128GB storage. No camera is included.

Key features

• 12.3-inch touchscreen: 1920×720 center display beside your original digital cluster.
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Connects automatically after first pairing, with Siri or Google Assistant voice control.
• Android 14 with Google Play: Install apps such as Spotify, YouTube and Google Maps on the screen itself.
• Keeps the factory system: Switch between the original Mercedes system and Android, per Carlinklife.
• Keeps factory controls: Steering wheel controls, vehicle information display and the factory reverse camera are retained, per Carlinklife.
