GLC43 vs GLA45 - COMAND Differences
Does anyone know what the differences are in the COMAND systems between our GLC43/63 and the GLA45? I was messing around on the MBUSA website and noticed the GLA45 WITH COMAND does come WITH Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Knowing this now, really kind of irks me with MB and how they've done the whole CP/AA integration with our model. I'll assume there's some slight hardware difference as most everything else, outwardly, seems to be the same. Is this really that difficult for MB or are they just being cheap (not luxury like) and waiting for the next "refresh"? Still love my car, but this really shouldn't be that hard in 2018. *Off soapbox now...

Honestly im not sure why that happens..annoying I agree... the C and GLC are the only cars (not sure about the SLC and G and GT etc..) I guess that cant have the full multimedia MB nav w/ smartphone integration. I have a C43 and I just went with smartphone since I have android and like WAZE and google play music..
