Hello @optimus , and sorry for the late reply. It is indeed a bummer than paying extra for a higher quality sound system results in this blocking point for something as basic and fundamental to the car day-to-day usage as the infotainment system
I've stopped trying to get it updated and have taught myself how to live with it.. There are plenty of battles to fight with my car anyway... being an E43, the suspension is quite harsh and I have a plethora of ratlles. Not all is bad of course, but too many things are disappointing from Mercedes lately.
Anyway, thanks again for replying to my message and do keep me/us informed if you end up managing some progress! Thanks!
I would advise downsizing tires or getting rid of run-flats or do both, also adjust tire pressures accordingly (only adjust when they are cold for the most accurate reading, it might take a few days before you find the perfect tire pressure for your driving needs, such as balance between good comfort and handling)
i just came from dealership, updated from version 1.7xxx.
Latest version is still 6.8xx
interesting thing is, that some of us have different versions of DOM and other stuff.
After update, I had some bug with ambient light not comming on after startup, but I managed to solve it by switching it on/off/multizone multiple times.
So there are definitelly some bugs. I am almost 100% sure, that there was absolutelly no change done to Android auto. Also, android auto has sometimes bug that after first connection upon starting the car, sound is desynced and delayed (video is fine). This can be solved by unplugging and replugging it again. After that, works fast without problems.
Hi @BenzNinja - is this something you can help with? I really would like to be able to use my steering wheel controls to navigate thru the carplay screen (and being able to use the speedometer in Waze/Maps hehe).

One of the first things I noticed on the way back from the dealership was Waze showing some crazy speed (130mph) while I was doing 70-80. Then I realized that there literally no button existed to skip tracks in one click (the skip button on the touchpad doesn't do anything) - I need to push media to get to Spotify and then click skip via the rotating wheel. And right-hand-side buttons on the steering wheel do not control the head unit while using CarPlay.
Then I found this thread and was super excited to get my SW updated from 00.59 to the latest since I understood that all these issues were resolved with later versions. And baaaam - got the same response from the dealer as @pintycar : tech specialist says the latest version they could see in Xentry was 00.61 and that's what they updated the system to. They mention all they can see is dictated by what MB makes available to that VIN. I'm very frustrated with this because I use CarPlay a lot, and these bugs are disheartening.
I tried MBUSA with no avail - they say that they don't do anything related to the head unit (sounds BS to me). And as of today, I emailed some random emails I found online for MB Germany (customer.care@daimler.com, dialog@daimler.com, dialog.mb@daimler.com) to explain the issue. Don't have any hope that this will get resolved but doesn't hurt to keep trying.
For the record @pintycar , I do have Burmester (810) but not 3D like you do (811).
