Hello all Mercedes CLA owners.
So I've finally did one of the mods I've been wanting to do for a long time.
Changing the smaller awful screen to the bigger one.
For one, this is a esthetic improvement only, it doesn't give any more functions nor touchscreen.
It doesn't require anything more than a torx 20 screwdriver and the bigger screen.
This will only work on CLA- A- B- GLA-class class with NTG5, the one with silver buttons under head unit, on both with or without navigation.
You simply open the flaps in the backside of the screen and unscrew the two screws. You don't have to take them out all the way, then you lift the old one upwards, disconnect the leads.
Plug in the leads on the new one, lower it into the bracket, secure screws, pop the covers back and voila, it's done!
Some pictures before and after.
Good luck!
