CarPlay behavior?
With my BMW, when I open Google Maps and input a location into my iPhone, my X5M immediately loads the destination once I start Google Maps in CarPlay and all I need to do is click confirm. Does the G 63 behave the same?

Thank you, that's good to know.
While on this topic - with the BMW, the steering wheel has a 'voice' icon that when invoked launches the BMW voice command system for nav, etc. But if I long hold the voice button it launches Siri through CarPlay. Does Mercedes operate the same?

Great, thanks again for the insight.
I was initially hung up on the lack of touchscreen but I’ve been paying more attention to how I operate nav and music in my BMW and the reality is I very rarely actually touch the screen making this a nonissue.

The only thing you find the G doesn't support is wireless CarPlay. You'll have to plug your phone in to use CarPlay. There are third-party dongles such as Carlinkit if you really want wireless.
