Owning a Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W205) or GLC (X253) from 2015–2022 means you already have a premium cabin—but the factory NTG 5.0 / 5.5 head unit was never built for wireless Apple CarPlay, passenger-side streaming, or Play Store apps. The BENZ GLC Android dual screen retrofit by UGODE is the cleanest way to fix that without losing a single original Mercedes function.
This is not a stick-on tablet and not a single-screen swap. It is a matched pair of 12.3-inch HD Android panels—driver + co-pilot—engineered as a true factory-style retrofit for right-hand-drive W205 and X253 cars.

What “BENZ GLC Android Dual Screen Retrofit” Actually Means
When overseas buyers type BENZ GLC Android dual screen retrofit into Google, they are usually looking for three things:
A dual 12.3″ upgrade (cluster-side + center screen) for Mercedes C/GLC
Real Android OS with wireless CarPlay, not just a mirror box
Plug-and-play harness that keeps COMAND/NTG, steering wheel, knob, and rear camera working
UGODE’s kit hits all three. It replaces the two stock displays with Dual 12.3-inch 1920×720 capacitive touch LCDs (16:9), runs a standalone Android layer next to the original Mercedes system, and lets the front passenger use their own screen independently from the driver.
Fits for
Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 — 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 (RHD)
Mercedes-Benz GLC X253 — 2015–2022 (RHD)
NTG 5.0 / 5.5 / 6.0 compatible via LVDS decoder box
Dual Screens, Two Independent Users
The biggest difference versus a normal “Android radio for Benz GLC” is the co-pilot screen.
Driver screen: Google Maps / Waze, wireless CarPlay, digital car info, music, phone
Co-pilot screen: YouTube, Netflix, browser, second nav app, kids’ cartoons, app store
They do not mirror each other. The passenger can scroll Instagram while you drive with Waze on the left—exactly what newer MBUX cars already do, but retrofitted into a 2016 GLC 250 or 2019 C300.
Split-screen inside Android also works: run two apps side-by-side on either panel
Double System Conversion: OEM Mercedes + Android 13-Class Layer
A proper BENZ GLC Android dual screen retrofit must never kill the original system. UGODE keeps both:
Original Mercedes COMAND / NTG mode — 100% stock look, parking sensors, TPMS, climate, factory rear cam
Android mode — launcher, widgets, Play Store / APK apps, split screen, Wi-Fi, 4G
Switching is one tap on screen, one press of the steering “Back” key, or the COMAND knob. No reboot, no coding, no dealer visit.
Factory rear camera and most aftermarket AHD cameras are both supported—there is a camera-type selector in settings.
Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Built In (No Dongle)
The headline feature overseas customers ask for: built-in wireless Apple CarPlay. iPhone connects over Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, no Lightning cable, no monthly dongle, no extra box behind the dash. Android phones get Android Auto via USB.
Siri, Google Assistant, steering-wheel answer/end, and original COMAND touchpad all stay mapped.
That alone justifies the retrofit for many 2015–2018 GLC owners whose factory system only had wired (or no) CarPlay.
Android Hardware & Media Specs That Matter
