Weird wires to no where ???

Thanks!

Well be sure to let us know what you find. When running my wires for the new Android radio install I did not see any wires like that. I had the dash and underneath the glovebox apart, but could not figure out how to get the glovebox out.

At this time I am graful to know your are the only one who is installing a new Android to up grade cause I am serious want to have newest Android 11 car play with touch screen ( Ebay for less than $600 ) but just wandering how much reliable this unit is ??) Please give me some courage .

Damn, I could make use of that wiring then! LOL
It's now 559.99, but I got it for 429.99 on February 5th and delivered February 7th.
It is now fully installed, but I need to run a better mic and jump the GPS antenna to the factory one. I just ordered the parts for that and will do it in a few days.
So far it's mostly working, but the damn day/night auto switch by time of day light detection doesn't work. Still trying to figure that out.
I also had to buy the MMI adapter so It could plug directly into the Audio out from the Android unit.
All in all I'm happy with it.

Edit:
Now would be a great time to get one since you have all the correct parts removed to do the full install. LOL

#1- Parts for better Mic and GPS antenna jumper : Optional from same supplier ?
#2- What is MMI adapter ?
Happy to hear ya happy with this so far..

1: The mic wire is too short so I can not route it up to where it needs to go, plus theirs is bulky.
2: MMI adapter. These are the different ones available. I got the one with the usb and 3.5mm jack.
People say using the factory GPS is better than the one they supplied. I do have that one connected, but in reality if you are using Carplay or Android auto, they use the phones GPS supposedly. I know my Carplay in my 2001 S430 had issues with gps, that's for sure.

Look pretty good as like late modern Benz today..I may go for this route, Bottom line our 2007 W221 Benz support flatform os NTG 3,0 ? I see some newer Android 11 don't mention NTG 3.0 but 4 or 4.5 and up.
Lastly quest is your model support rear backup cam ? I did pre wire rear cam from trunk to dash board ready for this.

This is for 3.0/3.5 and they have the option to chose before buying.
Yes, it has option to add camera's. Also it still uses your command and if car already had backup camera, that would work as well.
I need to wire up for a hood camera as I liked that feature on my 01(Self add - Actually it had surround camera).

Yes, now back to the original issues at hand. How is that going now?

I will order this unit from your referral Amazon, but will ( if needed ) order more of other misc items but for sure is the must have rear backup cam.
