I was given a loaner every time I went to my dealer for service, the car we had last year has the last generation of COMAND and the one we get this year has MBUX,
and I find myself liking the COMAND much much more, especially the media screen, in COMAND you can have both the map and media on the same screen, that is so useful,
the album art is bigger in COMAND, and turning the dial to fast forward is so much easier than swiping on MBUX,
am I crazy ?
No. Rumor has it MBUX Sux. I have 2017 Comand and am getting fairly comfortable with it, but for one niggle. (Only been 3 weeks) My avatar, Nero, tells me Rome wasn't built in a day.
Nope, you are not the only one. I have COMAND 5.5 in my 2019 C63S coupe and after having had several loaners with MBUX I'm not impressed. The latest COMAND uses the same online platform and app, so MBUX doesn't really have anything of consequence that the latest COMAND doesn't have. The screen is mounted too far forward for touch and navigating the UI with the physical controls is a ton of swiping. Not to mention the awful CarPlay integration. It's fullscreen with COMAND, but not in MBUX. Looks horrible. It's also quite buggy from what I heard.
