A Customer Passing Through Cardiff From Ukraine — This One’s Memorable
Sometimes you meet someone in the workshop and the conversation alone makes the day worthwhile. A customer from Ukraine passing through Cardiff popped into B&B Audioconcepts for a chat and some information about a vehicle he has back home. He wasn’t necessarily planning to leave with anything — but that’s how it often goes when you see the right products in front of you.
He left with a ZZ2 DIZZPLAY 10.25″ widescreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a FineVu 4K twin CCTV dashcam hardwired front and rear. Quality kit — fitted properly — for a Mercedes GL that genuinely deserved better than its factory setup could offer.
That’s what happens when a customer sees the real thing in person, fitted properly, on a car they can relate to.
Before — The Factory Mercedes COMAND. Small Screen, No CarPlay, No Touch.
The factory Mercedes NTG COMAND system is a capable piece of equipment for its era — navigation, audio, telephone, all present and working. But the screen is small, the interface is not a touchscreen, and there is no Apple CarPlay, no Android Auto, no wireless connectivity of any kind. For a vehicle of this quality and value, that gap between what the car is and what its infotainment offers starts to feel significant.
ZZ2 DIZZPLAY 10.25″ — The Transformation This Mercedes Deserved
The ZZ2 DIZZPLAY in 10.25″ widescreen format is engineered specifically for this generation of Mercedes — it drops into the factory screen location with a flush, factory-quality fit and integrates directly with the vehicle’s existing architecture. No dashboard modification. No loss of factory controls. The original Mercedes steering wheel controls, climate system and the factory analogue clock below the screen all remain completely operational.
The ZZ2 runs Linux OS — which means fast boot times without the lag associated with Android-based units, and stable, reliable performance every single time. The difference between switching on and being ready to use in seconds rather than waiting for an Android loading screen to clear is immediately noticeable, and it matters on a car that should feel premium in every way it’s operated.
📱 What This Mercedes Now Has

Small factory screen. No CarPlay. No touch. That was then.
10.25″ ZZ2 widescreen. Wireless CarPlay. Factory clock still ticking. Perfect.

FineVu 4K Twin CCTV — Front and Rear. Always Recording.
FineVu is one of the most respected dashcam brands in the world — a South Korean manufacturer with a strong reputation for outstanding video quality, advanced features and build quality that stands up to years of constant operation. The 4K twin CCTV system fitted to this Mercedes records simultaneously front and rear at cinema-quality resolution — capturing number plates, road signage and incident detail that lower-resolution cameras simply cannot reproduce.
The unit is hardwired directly into the Mercedes’ electrical system — meaning it powers on automatically with the car, records continuously throughout the journey, and activates parking mode when the engine is switched off to monitor the vehicle while stationary. The camera is mounted cleanly behind the mirror, cables routed entirely out of sight, with only the compact FineVu body visible — and even that is nearly invisible unless you know exactly where to look.
Cardiff’s Reputation Reaches Further Than You’d Think
A customer from Ukraine finding their way to a workshop in Cardiff, Wales, and walking out with a full ZZ2 and FineVu build is a reminder of something genuinely important: reputation travels. Whether it’s through online content, word of mouth, ZZ2’s own network, or simply a conversation that led somewhere unexpected — the quality of work B&B Audioconcepts produces reaches people far beyond Cardiff and South Wales.
The customer came in planning to gather information. He left with two premium products fitted in a few hours. That’s the result of having the right products in stock, knowing them inside out, and being able to demonstrate exactly what they do on a car that’s right there in the workshop. There is no better sales tool than the real thing, working correctly, in front of the customer.
FAQ — Mercedes Screen Upgrade Cardiff
Can I add Apple CarPlay to my Mercedes without losing factory features?
Yes. The ZZ2 DIZZPLAY integrates directly with your Mercedes’ existing architecture, retaining all factory controls, the original steering wheel buttons, climate functions and — as on this GL — the factory analogue clock. Nothing is removed. Everything the car had before still works exactly as it did.
Is ZZ2 better than a generic Android screen for Mercedes?
Significantly. ZZ2 runs Linux OS — giving fast, stable boot times without Android lag. It comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty, proper documentation and genuine technical support. Generic Android units are typically cheaper, but they tend to develop Bluetooth instability, touchscreen issues and CarPlay dropout within months. ZZ2 is built to last.
