MBUX 2.6.1 Update

Hi Team.

I got the 2.6.1 MBUX update OTA yesterday. Took like an hour for the installation to complete on my '24 GLB250. I know we are not getting Sound Drive or any of the other features. I haven't encountered anything new.. I'm hopping it fixes some random issues I'm having with iPhone disconnecting on Wireless Carplay. Another issue I get randomly is when I get into a car and MBUX is coming up. I go to the NAV screen and it has the overlay radio information... I'm almost in Apple Music through Carplay most of the time... somtimes the overlay radio/music information comes as Unknown Track info... and I need to turn MBUX off and on for it to show the current Track Info playing. Maybe Carplay is taking longer to come up.. I'm hoping that is fixed on 2.6.1. I'll test for a few days and report back.

What vehicles are compatible with sound drive, hate when they don't include features

Most likely facelift only. Since that is the only GLB running MBUX 2.0 to get 2.x updates.
