New to me glc300, upgrades possible?
I recently received a 2017 glc300 awd and I have a few upgrades I want to make, are these possible?
1. Keyless entry. I believe the car has keyless start but not keyless entry.
2. Backup camera.
3. Apple CarPlay.
for 2 and 3 I am hoping to display natively on the center console rather than adding another screen elsewhere.
are any of these possible? Can dealer do any of these or do I have to go to after market places?

MBWorld Fanatic!
I assume you have GLC SUV - and not GLC "Coupe" correct ?
1. If you don't have Keyless Go (door handle lock/unlock) then cost prohibitive - really - to consider adding that. Some aftermarket shops in Asia/China can handle - but pricey.
2. Yes - rearview camera can be added - aftermarket has system with same camera in rear - cables get run up to the front - a interface box gets added and put back behind the radio - and that inferface gets connected to power-camera- radio. Experienced shop can do - camera/cables is like USD$50 - interface here in US is like $325 (ordered from Aliexpress like $160) - and experienced shop should do install for like $300 labor
3. Taling CarPlay (and not "mirror" display from your phone). A "few" GLC's can have CarPlay activated by a aftermarket OBD module - those sellers need your VIN# to confirm if that can be done or not. If not - then - there are WiFi CarPlay units that can be installed behind the radio - some of these units ALSO have Rear Camera interface built in - Aliexpress like USD$380 - but you need a experienced installer
