You have to cut them some slack. They are forced to follow corporate policies. For non-OE stuff you gonna have to go outside a dealership. I've gotten mine to install non-OE tires, but some dealerships even refuse to do that. I currently have some issues with my COMAND system that suddenly started after 5 years of owning the car. The dealership essentially can't do anything other than charging me for replacing the complete head unit. For now I'm living with the issue as it doesn't affect the driving of the car. It just loses a couple of settings after the car was parked for a while and I have to reset them the next time. Since I don't drive the car daily, it hasn't been that much of an annoyance, but eventually I have to get somebody like BenzNinja involved to reload the instrument cluster firmware. I suspect it's either data corruption, or it might also be that my battery is dying. I also have another issue with a clicking noise coming from the front axle at parking lot maneuvering speeds and the dealership wanted to replace the steering rack instead of getting into the weeds and figuring out what's going on. I'll take it to my indy eventually and have them figure out what's going on. Dealerships are good for some things and especially while the car is under warranty, but once out of warranty and/or you wanna use aftermarket parts or have some issues that require proper diagnostics, an indy is where you wanna take it.
