  7. Hi First time member, just changed my Mercedes 430 eclass for a 4 series 420i convertible. Not as comfortable but much more fun to drive. Can anyone please help me? I am looking to upgrade my entertainment system to include Android Mirror. I have looked on the web and 2 possible solutions are available. 1 Add a new module which will give me Carplay and Android Auto cost about £250 2 Recode my existing system to add Carplay and Android Auto cost about £30 Has anyone undertaken this recode and is it safe and reliable? Also I need to fit an extra USB socket in the dash. I have looked on the web and it looks like there is an unused USB socket connector back of radio module. I can purchase a USB lead to connect to this socket will it work?
