What happened to Apple Carplay?
I thought they were going to roll it out starting with the new C class this year? Initial reports were touting that Mercedes would have a retrofit kit that would allow owners to add the full functionality to recent models. They would be able to access Siri and map data directly from the phone, all by voice command. I have only heard that Ferrari has started shipping cars with carplay, but nothing from Mercedes?

According to 9to5 Mac, Mercedes has confirmed it will offer an "after-market solution by the end of the year", which it speculates could come in the form of a dealer-installed accessory, similar to after-market Siri Eyes Free integration offered by some Honda dealerships.
However, ZDNet contacted Mercedes UK and was told by a spokesperson that it could not confirm the car maker would offer an after-market solution yet, since "we don't have have any firm dates for its arrival yet".
