How to solve no sound and activate the AUX function in Mercedes Benz NTG4.5/NTG4.7 display upgrade

Many people bought UGODE’s Mercedes-Benz NTG4.5/NTG4.7 Android screen with wireless CARPLAY and Android AUTO functions, and found that there was no sound when playing music on the Android interface after installation.
This situation is usually caused by installation wiring or setting problems.

 

1.First please set the Aux switching mode to manual, as shown in the picture below, if there is no sound, there is also no sound with automatic Aux switching.

4.The Mercedes Benz NTG4.0 and NTG4.5 power cords have two plugs for pairing protocols, and plugging these two plugs incorrectly can result in no sound, harsh squealing, protocol failure, and other problems.
Mercedes 4.0 cars just plug the NTG4.0 header.
For Mercedes 4.5/4.7, plug in the NTG4.5 header.

5.If there is no “Aux” option under the original Audio menu, you need to activate Aux in the Android factory settings first.

Enter the “Factory Mode” in the Android interface, click “AUX Activation”", then the original owner will automatically restart the original, after restarting you can see the “AUX” option under the “Audio” menu in the original interface.
