The G Class MBUX upgrade replaces the old NTG5.5 COMAND system in a 2019–2024 Mercedes G-Class with the same MBUX touchscreen system used in the 2025–2026 G-Class. At Weiss Auto Concept in Dubai, we completed this upgrade on a 2022 Mercedes-AMG G63 using genuine Mercedes-Benz components – a new NTG7 head unit, a widescreen display, a new digital cluster and an MBUX touchpad – without cutting any factory wiring.
What Is the G Class MBUX Upgrade?
A G Wagon screen upgrade to MBUX swaps the complete multimedia system, not just the display. The 2019–2024 G-Class (W463A) left the factory with NTG5.5: two 12.3-inch screens without touch, controlled only by the touchpad and steering wheel buttons. From the 2025 model year, Mercedes moved the G-Class to MBUX with touchscreen control.
Our upgrade brings that newer system into an older G63:
- Full touchscreen control on the central display
- New digital instrument cluster with the latest G-Class themes
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- GCC navigation maps and Arabic language
- New-design USB-C ports and MBUX touchpad
Before: The 2022 G63 with NTG5.5
This 2022 Mercedes-AMG G63 came to us with the original NTG5.5 system. The head unit sat under the centre console, and the two screens could not be touched – every function needed the touchpad or the steering wheel controls. The interior looked modern, but the multimedia already felt a generation behind the newest G-Class.
After: The 2025–2026 G-Class MBUX Experience
After the upgrade, the G63 drives with the same MBUX look and feel as the latest G-Class. The widescreen display responds to touch, the new digital cluster offers fresh themes selected from the steering wheel, and the whole cabin feels updated – without buying a new car.
The Upgrade Kit: Genuine Mercedes NTG7 Components
The upgrade uses genuine Mercedes-Benz components:
- NTG7 (HU7) head unit – part number A 167 900 23 32
- Widescreen display with integrated digital instrument cluster
- Instrument cluster computer – part number A 177 900 05 19
- Premium 16-channel amplifier – part number A 465 900 40 00
- MBUX touchpad for the centre console
- New-design USB-C hub
Two integration modules complete the system: a video interface that brings the original 360° camera to the new screen, and a CAN gateway that connects the new system to the car’s network.
How We Installed It on the G63: Step by Step
This is not a plug-and-play job. The complete system was rebuilt from the rear of the car to the dashboard:
- Battery disconnected before any work, to protect the car’s electronics.
- Old system removed – the NTG5.5 head unit under the centre console and the original amplifier came out.
- New head unit in the boot – the NTG7 head unit and the Premium 16-channel amplifier were mounted on the left side of the boot.
- New wiring harness – a complete harness was routed from the boot to the dashboard and front footwell.
- Speakers reconnected – the original Burmester speakers, including the dashboard tweeters, were moved onto the new amplifier through the factory connectors.
- Dashboard rebuilt – the old screens were removed and the new widescreen display and cluster were fitted.
- Console upgraded – the new MBUX touchpad and USB-C hub were installed.
No factory wire was cut. Every connection uses plug-in connectors, so the car’s original wiring stays intact.
Coding, Languages and GCC Maps
After installation, every new module must be coded to the car. We coded the system with Mercedes diagnostic software – XENTRY and DTS Monaco – so the head unit, cluster and touchpad communicate correctly with the G63.
The system was then set up for the UAE:
- GCC navigation maps
- Arabic language support
- Regional settings for the Middle East
For G-Class owners, map and region settings are one of the most important parts of any multimedia upgrade – a system without GCC maps is not complete for daily driving in Dubai. Genuine MBUX or Android Screen: Which Is Right for Your G-Class?
We offer two ways to modernise a 2019–2024 G-Class, depending on budget and goals:
- Genuine MBUX upgrade – original Mercedes-Benz NTG7 hardware and software, a full touchscreen, the new digital cluster and the factory look of the 2025–2026 G-Class. Best if you want the newest Mercedes experience.
- Wireless CarPlay and Android screen upgrade – a faster and more affordable way to add wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and a modern screen, as in our G63 2022 wireless CarPlay and Android screen project.
Both options are installed with plug-in connectors and keep the car’s original systems.
Wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, USB-C and 360 Camera
The new MBUX system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, so the phone connects without a cable. The new-design USB-C hub in the console charges the phone and connects media.
We also kept the car’s original systems:
- Burmester sound – the original speakers now run on the new Premium 16-channel amplifier.
- 360° camera – the original surround-view camera appears on the new MBUX screen in reverse gear.
- Emergency call module – the factory telematics module stays connected.

Does the G63 get a touchscreen after the upgrade?

What does “Anti-theft protection activated” mean after a Mercedes head unit change?
It means the head unit is still locked to another vehicle. The unit must be coded to the new car’s VIN with Mercedes diagnostic software before the system works normally. Read more in our guide to Mercedes anti-theft protection activated.
