Frequently asked questions

Will this fit my W176 A-Class?

This unit suits the Mercedes-Benz A-Class W176 (A180, A200, A250 and A45) from 2013 to 2018 with NTG 4.5 systems. Please confirm your NTG version before ordering or contact us if unsure.

Is installation really plug and play?

Yes — the unit includes a purpose-built fascia frame and wiring harness specific to the W176. It connects directly to your factory wiring with no cutting, splicing, or coding required. We strongly recommend using a qualified car audio installer for the best result.

Will my factory reverse camera still work?

Yes. Your factory reverse camera is fully retained and will continue to display exactly as stock when you select reverse gear.

Do my steering wheel controls still work?

Yes. All factory steering wheel buttons continue to function normally after installation.

Why does this unit have 8GB RAM when others have 4GB or 6GB?

Higher RAM means smoother multitasking. With 8GB, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto run without lag even when you're simultaneously streaming music, navigating, and receiving calls. If you plan to use the Android side of the unit — Play Store apps, YouTube, split screen — the extra RAM makes a noticeable real-world difference.

Can I still access the factory Mercedes menus and vehicle settings?

Yes. The factory NTG system is fully retained. You can switch freely between the original Mercedes interface and the new CarPlay/Android Auto interface at any time.

Does it support Harman Kardon amplified audio?

Yes. Factory amplified systems including Harman Kardon are supported via the included Aux cable set.

What warranty is included?

This unit is covered by EXTNIX's 2 Year standard warranty. Please refer to our Warranty & Returns policy for full terms.
