So after much procrastination have just ordered the Integrated Automotive Apple Car Play/Android Auto unit for my pre-facelift A205 C200 with Comand. Not the cheapest on offer but comes recommended and with support from IA who are a UK based supplier.
Will fit the unit myself and post pics and words as a How To in case it helps others on here, plus a report on how well it works. Will be using it to provide CarPlay wireless, I went for this unit also because of full integration with screen and wheel/console controls. Once fitted there is nothing to see and connection is automatic.
I bought the OBD adaptor (which brings up the required Aux option on the Comand unit) from Ali Baba. Worked perfectly and cost only £25 ish compared to £75 from Integrated Automotive
Fingers now firmly crossed as they say. Hope to have it all done with the next 10 days…
