Can the Mercedes-Benz screen be replaced with a touchscreen?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz's screen can be replaced with a touchscreen. However, it is not recommended to do so because the workload is too heavy. Replacing the screen involves changing parts, wiring, and even the dashboard, which can leave many hidden dangers. Additionally, many functions may not be fully supported, making it not worth the effort. Reasons why Mercedes-Benz does not use touchscreens: Mercedes-Benz's decision not to use touchscreens is related to technical and cost issues. Some of Mercedes-Benz's systems have been independently developed for many years, deeply integrated with the system in terms of control habits and system compatibility, and are highly customized with a complete set of matching and settings. Changing the system to operate with a touchscreen would require significant technical modifications and higher development costs. Disadvantages of touchscreens: While driving, operating a narrow touchscreen requires precise aiming to complete actions accurately. This can distract the driver's vision and body posture, increasing the risk of accidents.
