Are you looking to modernize your Mercedes-Benz ML-Class W164 (2005-2011) or GL-Class X164 (2006-2012)? The Kaier KR-7014 Android car stereo offers a seamless upgrade, blending cutting-edge technology with your vehicle’s original aesthetics. Manufactured by Kaier, a global leader in automotive infotainment, this unit is designed to elevate your driving experience. Known for quality and innovation, Kaier products are also retailed under brands like RedPower and Carmedia, but purchasing directly ensures you receive premium value without the rebranding markup.
This Android-powered head unit is more than just a radio; it’s a comprehensive entertainment and information system tailored for your Mercedes.
Immersive Display and User-Friendly Interface
The Kaier KR-7014 boasts a vibrant 8-inch touchscreen display with resolutions starting from 800×480 (HD options available, confirm with your dealer). The capacitive, морозостойкий (frost-resistant) multi-touch screen ensures responsiveness in all weather conditions. Enjoy superior brightness and viewing angles, with automatic dimming when headlights are activated, or customize brightness via steering wheel controls.
For enhanced safety, the system supports instant-on reverse camera functionality. When you shift into reverse, the display immediately switches to the rear camera feed – even when the unit is off – providing a clear view without delay.
Seamless Vehicle Integration and Connectivity
CANBUS integration is a key feature, allowing the KR-7014 to communicate directly with your Mercedes’ systems. This enables control over vehicle functions and access to car data, including climate control, seat heating, and steering wheel control adaptation.
Stay connected with multiple USB ports for media, 3G/4G модемов (modems), WiFi, and even OBD2 devices like Elm Obd2 20720. The built-in WiFi module operates as both a hotspot and receiver. Play media from USB drives or the integrated DVD player. Voice control and search capabilities further enhance usability.
Superior Audio and Navigation
Experience crystal-clear radio reception with the NXP 6624 chip, supporting AM/FM and RDS. Manual station naming is available, alongside quick access to an equalizer for personalized audio tuning. The sound quality is a noticeable upgrade from factory systems, providing richer and more immersive audio.
Navigation is powered by a high-sensitivity SIRF Star V GPS module, rapidly acquiring satellites. Unique to Kaier, this system supports both GPS and GLONASS for enhanced accuracy and reliability.
Bluetooth and OBD2 Diagnostics: Integrating ELM OBD2 20720
Integrated Bluetooth provides hands-free calling with a sensitive built-in microphone (external mic option available). Answer calls via steering wheel controls, and synchronize your phonebook for easy contact access. Caller ID is displayed across all modes, ensuring you never miss a call.
Beyond hands-free, Bluetooth facilitates data transfer, notably for OBD2 diagnostics. Connect an ELM327 OBD2 adapter, such as ELM OBD2 20720 or similar compatible devices, to access real-time vehicle data, read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, and monitor performance parameters directly on your car stereo screen. This integration turns your car stereo into a powerful diagnostic tool. Simultaneously, you can use hands-free calling and TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) via Bluetooth.
Enhanced Control and Additional Features
Steering wheel control customization is extensive. Program multiple functions to a single button based on press duration (short, long, very long). For example, a short press could return to the home screen, while a long press activates navigation.
Further customization includes voice prompt routing (front left, right, both front, or all speakers), adjustable navigation/music volume balance, speed-sensitive volume adjustment, and optional digital TV tuner support (DVB-T2).
