I wanted to let folks know about Navtool, which sells Apple Carplay for all vehicles and a different unit for mirroring, for any vehicle, they say.
I haven't used any of their products myself, but when I was on the MB CLA forum, some bought the backup camera
and nothing negative was said. Lifetime warranty. I have no affiliation with them. Has anyone here used their
products? https://www.navtool.com/

I never got to use one of their products.
Their name came up a few years ago on the Jag X150 forum as having an integrated backup camera solution for the pre-2012 cars. I ordered one, but it was always one excuse or another for not shipping the unit. I emailed them monthly, always got a lame excuse. After about a year, they asked if I wanted to cancel the order, which I did, as by then I had already installed an alternative.
One user claimed to have finally received a unit, but had lots of problems with it, and it wasn’t as seamlessly integrated as originally claimed. It was basically the same solution, but came in one box, that I had already installed a year before that.
Maybe they offer something better for other brands, but from my experience, they’re not reputable.

I read through some reviews on various forums. Most had problems with customer service, refunds, shipping. Some people had no problems and loved
the product. I looked at the Better Business Bureau site and there are lots of the same complaints. I apologize for posting this thread. It seems best to
avoid this company. If this thread can be deleted, that would be great.

Just look at the their site it’s a mess so I wouldn’t be surprised if anything even works. I’m always suspicious a company claims their product works with every car brand on the planet.
