Hi, I have 2021 CLA 250. I am trying to get navigation on this car. I called the dealership, they said this particular car was not prewired for navigation. He said it would cost around $15k to do get navigation. I was just wondering, apart from wired CarPlay, what are some other options to get wireless CarPlay or navigation system?

There are aftermarket systems to implement wireless CarPlay if you want to go that route. Something called CarPlay2Air might do the trick but I didn't personally test it, it is just that I came across different sub forums and people recommending it, so read some more reviews and decide from there : )
As for OEM navigation, your car has MBUX, the old COMAND system uses SD cards to retrofit the navigation system, so it would be cheaper if you go aftermarket for sure. If you do decide to use the an aftermarket wireless CarPlay module you can then use Google Maps or Waze.
Edit: Region specific, you can check Mercedes Me store and see if you can purchase map data.

Thank you for you response. I guess the after market module like carplay2air can work. But I don’t think there is a slot to put the sd card in, if I was gonna use navigation like in the older models.
Thanks a lot

No problem at all and no unfortunately the cars with MBUX doesn't have an SD Card slot to install map data.
