CLA 220d AMG PREMIUM +
2020 MBUX FAIL!

So picked up my brand new 2020 CLA 220d AMG Premium Plus in July. After 3k miles only, I noticed on Wednesday that my Center MBUX screen was failing to boot (not getting past the Mercedes Benz logo). This meant No Nav, No Radio, No Heater controls, Traffic Cameras, Parking sensors nothing!!! Took it to MB Watford for a diagnosis and they said apparently it wouldnt even take a software update as the MBUX control unit has been fried?!

On top of that apparently there isnt a spare unit IN THE WHOLE OF EUROPE for me to replace mine so MB Watford gave me my car back said we’ll give you a call when we know more. I cannot believe this is the “Mercedes Experience”!! So now I am driving around in silence, with no maps, heater controls and driving assistance until MB pull their finger out. Very very annoyed.
This is just a heads up just incase any one else goes through this, be prepared for a long silent wait in your new car.
