Is it me or does the 2019/2020 CLS have a terrible interface for texting?

1. It's very slow to respond with voice and hand controls.

2. You can't reply to a received text. You have to create an entire new text.

For a vehicle that starts at 80K this is unacceptable IMHO.

Just use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for texting/phone purposes its much more intuitive than any in-car operating system.

I hope you are not texting while you are driving. If you are involved in an accident, any victim's attorney will subpoena your text records and vehicle motion status from your vehicle's onboard data recorder. If you were texting, you are in big trouble.

Even if you dont use car play you can use Siri if you have an iphone
on the steering wheel long press the voice button and say send message to
and it uses Siri instead of the COMAND system

Thank you! Apple Car Play is a dream. I’m embarrassed for not using sooner
