I just picked up my first Mercedes -- the new 2019 A-Class -- earlier this month. MBUX lets us put the navigation map on the driver's side of the 10.25 inch screens. However, there is one feature I cannot find in the manuals or by playing around with the controls: setting Auto-Zoom and the 3D / 2D options.

A class owners: Has anyone ever brought up this menu on your driver-side display? If you have, what key combo do you press?

during the ownership, did you experience any issue/problem? for example, check engine light? vibration?

Disagree. The built in navigation is terrific with the voice commands and augmented reality. It's so well integrated and is much better than using a phone. The phone is a real pain having to hook up wires and adapters. Even worse is the fact that carplay is not full screen on the large 10.5" display. It is a small low quality image on a large display. Not worth the effort. For me the wireless phone connection works perfectly. I can keep my phone in my pocket and it will play right where it left off. The navigation is a must.

I'm glad I found this forum. I'm picking up my A 220 Monday dropping down from my E300 lease because I wanted the MBUX among other reasons. I am getting the nav system (as a Realtor it's a must) I was really hoping, especially after reading other sites) that the MBUX & Nav would have wireless Carplay. It sounds like wireless Carplay is NOT available on yours? Even at the auto shows people were told by MB that Carplay would be wireless on the 2019 A Class. Do you think it might be added later thru on-air updates? I use Carplay mostly for Spotify & Pandora.
Thanks & good luck to us!
Wireless CarPlay is not available for the A220. I suppose it would be possible to add it via an update, but I have heard nothing. The wired connection requires a USBC adapter (included) and a lightning cable. With this setup the phone won't fit in the wireless charger. Nice. Also as I mentioned the display is so poor that I would never use it like that. An update to add wireless with an improved display would be terrific. However the car's nav system is much better than any CarPlay nav system. Let's hope an updated version comes soon.
