Mbrace Wifi Compatible?

Hello all.
1st post here, so I'll give a little background. I had a 2011 C300 and loved it. Up until a few weeks back during our snow storm here in ATL, a tree fell on it and totaled it. I used the insurance $$ and got a CPO 2016 C300. I love it, and am trying to figure out all the bells and whistles on this. and a couple of questions I have came up with that the dealer (and Mbrace) are having a difficult time answering clearly.

1. I have the 3-month free trial for Mbrace entertain. I do not have the Multimedia package option, (So Just the SD card Garmin Navi that the dealer threw in). I want to get the wifi option in my car to be available and there is no option for it that I can find. the Mbrace folks told me that I need an update (5.0 -5.1 or something like that) the head unit at the dealer to get me that option. Does that sound legit? I am awaiting a response form my dealership, but as of now my salesperson doesn't have any idea.
Thanks and looks like the board has a ton of great information on it.

Good point, and reading through other posts, even if it would work, the speed is terrible. I guess I'll just cancel the 3-month trial for entertain, as it definitely does not appear to be worth it.

Mbrace is the worst, hands down. I didn't even bother activate it during the free period.
