Fed Up with my MB

Why is DAB so highly regarded?

Because they have a station that only plays Christmas music for the whole of December.

DAB has a much greater dynamic range, akin to listening to CD. Bit like when we went from MW to FM...

DAB gives a much better range of radio stations. Most of which are not available on FM/MW etc

So...no benefit if you only listen to one station?

I'm looking forward to the strop the OP will have when he realises that his 'new' car is worth several thousand less at trade-in than he paid just a couple of weeks ago.

None that I'm aware of, but Whitenemesis said that it's better quality I think.

My ears can't tell the difference tbh

What if the station isn't on analogue...

The sound quality is better i.e. clearer, on DAB.

I only listen to one station and I can't tell the difference either

a life without 6 music is one not worth living!

You need to get out more...

But only if you use decent data rates, which we don't in the UK. The imminent switch to DAB+ (AAC rather than MP2 codec) will help, but it could still be better.

Does 6 music play Tool?

If not then I can likely live without it.

Probably, not all the time though.

It's by far the most eclectic station, Cerys' Sunday morning show is a delight.

Sorry can not help OP much, but can confirm '14 E class with command works great with my Samsung S6. Plays my music and also streams internet stations. Even DAB works faultlessly now

Got an E250 Coupe 2011 (c207) a few weeks ago and I am absolutely fed up with it. All I want to do is play my music through the audio 50 aps system and have up to date maps, can I do either NO!!
Took it to local MB dealer, gave them £100 of my hard earned cash and yes they did upgrade my maps, all the way up to 2013 edition, useless.
Have purchased and connected MB cables to the Media Interface socket and connected various phones and iPods and non are compatible.
I give up, going to get my poxy Megan back, at least it was more up to date as far as Bluetooth, media streaming etc. was concerned.

Probably too late now as sounds like you've given up and hopefully this will be of use to someone else in the future, but are you 100% you had the right cable?

Theres a compatibility list on the MB website showing part numbers of the cable you need for your year of car, the cable may physically fit but if devices show as incompatible it suggests you have the incorrect cable.

Good luck with your new car, whatever it may be
