Unhappy Will Merceses-Benz upgrade the firmware of the wired carplay to wireless?

I think that the E-class (or whatever it is called in the future) won't get it until the next real redesign. Unfortunately, I doubt benz will update the firmware in our existing E-class to make that a feature in the future, so I'm stuck looking for a good permanent workaround solution. Plugging in my iPhone isn't hard, it just seems old fashioned given how convenient wireless CarPlay is.
But now I found an adapter (check the link) its functions are very interesting and the price is not expensive. Great design.
Regardless of whether Benz will update the firmware in the future, Now we can use some gadgets to enjoy the convenience of wireless CarPlay.

is your wireless adaptor stable? It looks very much like the one I bought but with a different name "crux":

Mine seemed to have a fault. dropped my calls and froze Waze/maps a few times.

Yep, it's stable. I did the update on carlinkit and it worked fine and the update was great and fixed all the issues I was having. I have a love relationship with it.

You might want to post your question in the E class section of the forum in order to get responses from people who own the same car you do. You've posted your question in the A class section wheich is a different car from your car.
