rollmesome - are you anywhere near Lightwater in Surrey ? I wouldn't mind seeing what is actually in your car - and trying to see if a retrofit is possible - but probably needs 2 visits (one for me to look at whats in your car (part number and software versions on COMAND and the USB sockets etc - don't need to remove the COMAND for that, just the USB socket)
i recently got an A180 on lease and was told carplay was a standard feature of the car. i went ahead and ordered it however found out last week that the car in fact did not have this option and that it was incorrect information.
obviously, i know this kind of breaches our contract etc. but i did not want too much hassle so i offered to buy the SD card for the car to use navigation and the lease company reimburse me (which they have offered).
before i go ahead with that, and in essence updating our contract, can i confirm that adding the carplay is not an option at all (the lease company tells me they spoke with Mercedes who told them this was a hardware modification and there was no way to add this to the car)
