Mercedes SLC R172 CarPlay box — the roadster that gains a modern cockpit
The Mercedes SLC R172 CarPlay box modernizes the driving experience of your Mercedes SLC (R172) thanks to a latest-generation multimedia interface. This plug & play module allows you to integrate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto directly on your original screen, without permanent modification of the dashboard. Top down on a Sunday morning, the difference is obvious: your playlist, your route and your calls are displayed where they should have been before you had to juggle with a phone placed on the passenger seat.
A roadster interior that changes dimension
The SLC has always had a compact and driver-oriented dashboard: it deserved better than a frozen menu. With the CarPlay interface on the original Mercedes screen, the central display regains sharp vector maps, high-definition album covers and fluid gesture navigation. Nothing sticks out, nothing is glued to the windshield: the CarPlay module for the original Mercedes NTG 5.0 screen remains completely invisible once installed.
Smart GPS navigation and essential applications
Instantly access your favorite navigation applications such as Google Maps, Waze and Apple Plans. Enjoy real-time optimized routes, radar alerts and accurate traffic information. The fluid interface reproduces the experience of your smartphone while ensuring maximum safety at the wheel thanks to Siri and Google Assistant voice commands. While driving on a mountain road, the Mercedes SLC wireless Android Auto continues to display the route even when the network weakens.
High-quality multimedia streaming
Enjoy your music and podcasts via Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music or YouTube. The box transmits the sound directly via the original audio system of your Mercedes, including Harman Kardon installations, for optimal sound quality. Manage your playlists and launch your videos without taking out your phone. The Mercedes R172 wireless CarPlay automatically reconnects as soon as the ignition is turned on, even after several weeks of inactivity.
Technology and manufacturing quality
The module is housed in a high-resistance ABS plastic box, sized to stay behind the panel without thermal constraints. The video connection uses the original LVDS bus and delivers up to 1920x720 pixels depending on the vehicle, the native resolution of the SLC panoramic screen. The connectivity combines Wi-Fi, USB and LVDS to cover all uses.

Reversible plug & play installation
Designed for perfect integration, this kit plugs directly into the original connectors located behind the radio. No complex decoding or soldering is required. The installation preserves all original functions: steering wheel controls, rearview camera, NTG menu and CD player remain fully functional. A CarPlay box installation without cutting remains the safest solution on a vehicle you wish to keep for a long time.
Can we return to the original COMAND menu at any time?
Yes, and it is an important point for a roadster you keep for years. The module does not replace the original system: it adds to it as an additional source. A press on the dedicated button or a combination of the dial instantly brings back the radio, the factory Bluetooth telephony or the vehicle settings. And if you sell the car, the reversible installation of a CarPlay module is removed without leaving the slightest trace.

Why order your Mercedes SLC R172 CarPlay box from Becquet Voiture?
Becquet Voiture selects its multimedia interfaces by chassis and by COMAND generation, never "all Mercedes". This is the only way to avoid the classic trap of the universal CarPlay box that does not activate once plugged in. Our sheets detail the NTG version, the preserved functions and the kit contents, and our support answers in French before and after purchase.
