After-market Carplay in 2015 C300 4Matic?
Hi, the just-launched 2015 C-class models (C300 4Matic & C400 4Matic) don't include Apple's CarPlay integration. Any idea if there will be an after-market integration for these models when CarPlay is later launched in these models.

Here's a quote from Mercedes : "As of now, we do not support CarPlay in our series production cars. We are working on a highly sophisticated head-unit based solution, which will enable CarPlay as well as other systems (e.g. MirrorLink)… we are not quite sure if we will feature an aftermarket solution. CarPlay won’t be available by the end of this year, but in 2015."

I just looked up the 2015 c-class on the mb site. Considering the starting price is $40k (yikes!), they should accommodate CarPlay.

Thats my guess too, but if I'm forking out that kind of money I would like to know for sure
I'm expecting Apple will give some kind of CarPlay update in their Sep iOS8 event, with the car makers announcing their own plans after that.

I just leased a BRAND NEW 2015 C300 and I even went as far as to install iOS 8.3 on my iPhone 6 Plus - and when I plug it in and even connect via Bluetooth - NOTHING!!
What's with all this fake talk and fake advertising? Has ANYONE gotten CarPlay to work in their vehicles as of yet?
