In the Mercedes-Benz car series, the full LCD instrument panel running through the central control screen is almost a major feature of Mercedes-Benz’s luxurious interior. But the central controls of the C-Class and GLC have not received much attention. Even the latest facelifted GLC is not equipped with a full LCD screen, which is undoubtedly the biggest pain point for GLC owners. Therefore, owners of older GLC models are destined to miss the full LCD screen.

The lowest trim model of the C-Class GLC is equipped with a 6.5-inch screen, while the higher trim models are equipped with an 8.4-inch screen. The new model is equipped with a 10.2-inch screen. Today, we bring you the case of upgrading an old Mercedes-Benz GLC to a 12.3-inch touch screen, built-in wireless CarPlay and smartphone connectivity.

The original 6.5-inch screen in the luxury SUV model does feel a bit stingy. Through a non-destructive upgrade to a 12.3-inch large screen, the interior looks more coordinated. The large screen not only provides better visibility, but also enhances the overall sense of grandeur. While keeping the original car system unchanged, an Android system has been added, which can download applications, watch TV, listen to music, navigate, etc. The screen is touch-enabled and comes with voice assistant. The touchscreen also supports wireless CarPlay smartphone connectivity. Speaking of CarPlay, Mercedes-Benz has always required a wired connection and does not support wireless connections. With the introduction of touch screens, CarPlay is no longer restricted, which brings good news to iPhone users, and a wired connection is no longer required.
