C300
Android Auto

I have c300 2019 and I'm very frustrated with this Android Auto solution... Not sure wher to even start...
  • Ugly cable that sticking out
  • No place to actually place the phone
  • The app is terribly slow when connected to the car display! It is often so slow that it becomes impossible to use controlling knob to navigate the menu... Rotating the knob is not reflected on the screen menu, or screen goes dark in the menu area... It getting so annoying that I often unplug the cable and use Android Auto just from phone... Which actually make me think that it is the Mercedes issue as when not connected the app is pretty responsive...
I was wondering what is other people experience?

I agree completely. I passed on Nav when I ordered my C43 because I typically prefer Google Maps and Waze to factory nav, and now I’m regretting it. It’s super buggy and the interface, even for music, is really clunky to the point where it’s borderline unsafe to be messing with it and trying to get it to do what you’want it to do while driving.

If anyone out there has mastered it I’d be happy to hear some tips.
