• Keep the cable clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down regularly.

  • Check the volume levels on both your device and the car's audio system.
  • Confirm that your Mercedes-Benz vehicle has the COMAND NTG 4.5 system and 2nd generation Media Interface (Optional code: 518). This cable is not compatible with other MMI versions.
  • Test with a different Type-C device to rule out device-specific issues.

  • Ensure the car's ignition is on or in accessory mode.
  • Some devices may require higher power input than the MMI port can provide for optimal charging.
