Great unit with minor tuning needed.
“The screen is beautiful and the Android 13 OS is very stable. I’m giving it 4 stars because the audio levels between the Android side and the original radio needed some gain adjustment in the ‘Factory Settings’ to match perfectly. Once dialed in, it’s a 10/10 upgrade.”

The installation was straightforward and the results are stunning. Wireless CarPlay connects in seconds. The 4GB+64GB memory makes everything run smoothly. Highly recommend for any CLS owner!

Perfect Factory Integration.
Looks like it came from the factory. The display is crisp and the system is very responsive.

The dual-band WiFi and 4G LTE support are great for keeping maps updated in real-time. Audio quality through the factory system remains excellent. 5 stars!

The hardware performance is definitely 5 stars—the Snapdragon chip is the fastest I’ve seen in an aftermarket head unit. I’m only giving it 4 stars because the W218 dash is very tight.
Tucking the main harness behind the head unit took a lot of patience to get the screen to sit flush. Also, a reminder: you must move your two orange fiber optic cables to the new harness or you’ll have no sound. It’s a great product, but set aside a few hours for a clean installation.

The Snapdragon 665 is a game changer for the W218!
I’ve had this DRIKSWVE 10.25″ CLS Screen installed for a month and it’s flawless. The 8-core Snapdragon 665 is incredibly fast—there is zero lag when switching between apps or using the 1920×720 HD split-screen for Waze and Spotify.
The AG anti-glare technology is no joke; even with the sun hitting the dash, the screen is perfectly readable. It maintains all my original Mercedes NTG settings, and the factory knob control works seamlessly with the Android 13 interface. If you want to modernize your CLS without losing the ‘Benz’ feel, this is the one to get.

Stunning HD Clarity.
The resolution jump from the old factory screen is night and day. Colors are vivid and the touch response is iPad-level fast. Very happy with this purchase.
