CarPlay

So what are the options to get CarPlay on our GLC63 with COMAND?

is there any flashing, firmware, vxdiag modifications?
is the only option a new Android 10.25” screen?

Trade for a 2020 or rip your dash apart and buy some sketchy Chinese hardware that MIGHT work. No flash or firmware available, it’s a hardware problem that MB left COMAND owners with, unfortunately. Tried to use voice for COMAND Navi today and it just sucks. My GTI with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay is a better system even using the stock Navi. As much as it’s financially stupid and the drive of the AMG should be enough, I’m seriously considering upgrading my 18 to a 20 43 or 63 for the tech...and the beast of an 8, if I go 63. Frustrating and didn’t quite realize how bad COMAND was or probably would have just waited on my GLC purchase.

My Mercedes sales person is recommending someone to retrofit but its 1250k. It's expensive but I really want it and he is giving warranty for 4 years. I'll update when its done.

I have contacted the seller (had to provide my Vin) to find out if this unlocker will work on my car and here is the response I got:

"Sorry to tell you, but CarPlay is totally not possible at your car as it is only possible at MY2018/19 cars with SA154 Datacard code

nevertheless other cool features that possible to activate at your car are:

1. with my tuneOBD module for usd 699 is it possible to tune the motor control unit:
- power up from stock 510Hp/700Hm -> 601Hp/899Hm in 2 minutes
- no affect to warranty
- no wires
- no ECU open
- no soldering - just plug-and-play

only my tune has:
- no speed limit from 210kmh stock -> NO LIMIT with tune
- 4-pedal booster presets: Stock->Sport->Sport+->hell sporty
- back to factory firmware any time with the same module in 2 minutes
- totally plug-and-play
