CarPlay

Hi,

This is my first post.

I have a UK 2016 A Class which i ordered without CarPlay although now i regret this and wondered how i can get CarPlay added on.

I have the larger screen / sat nav. Is this likely to be a hardware or software upgrade?

Either way, what are my options and likely costs involved?

Thanks in advance!

Dave

I'd be surprised if it was retro, since the radios have to be certified from apple or face huge lawsuits.

If you have command/satnav - stay away from CarPlay!
I have it in my new GLS, and tried it day one and see no use for it since it disables satnav while active. I see no benefit whatsoever unless you have a car without command online.

I have Sat Nav but no command online which is why i fancied the CarPlay.

Guessing there is no way to upgrade then, i was hoping it might just be a software upgrade!

No such luck
